Clinical and laboratory observationsUsing Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Detect Preserved Function in a Preterm Infant with Brain Injury

We studied developmental plasticity using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in a preterm infant with brain injury on structural MRI. fMRI showed preserved brain function and subsequent neurodevelopment was within the normal range. Multimodal neuroimaging including fMRI can improve understanding of neural plasticity after preterm birth and brain injury.
