Understanding typical and atypical development of the infant brain

该项目将应用先进的磁共振成像(MRI)技术来了解早产儿的大脑异常如何与他们的功能障碍有关。它的目标是：开发新的软件，轻松准确地测量婴儿的大脑结构和组织；了解不良结果的神经生物学基础，从而能够诊断高风险早产儿；并确定磁共振生物标记物，以评估旨在让澳大利亚婴儿更健康地开始生活的干预措施。

This project will apply advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to understand how brain abnormalities in preterm infants relate to their functional impairments. It aims to: develop new software to easily and accurately measure infant brain structures and tissues; understand the neurobiological basis for adverse outcomes, enabling diagnosis of high risk preterm infants; and identify MRI biomarkers to assess interventions designed to give Australian babies a healthier start to life.
