Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between cortical development and cerebral electrical activity at early gestational ages. METHODS: We obtained EEGs (7.2+/-3.8 days) and MR brain images (3.2+/-2.9 days) after birth in 17<30 week gestation infants without evidence of focal brain injury The EEGs were assessed for discontinuity and characteristic maturational features (delta brush, occipital and temporal sawtooth); cortical development was quantified from MR scans using a specially designed computer programme to measure cortical folding. RESULTS: The inter-burst interval shortened and cortical folding increased with increasing post-menstrual age (PMA). In contrast, the minimum duration ...
