Measuring Brain Activity of School Age Children

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This observational study will investigate whether differences in birth events and oxygen levels during the newborn period affects the brain activity of children during the middle childhood years.

Clinical Trial Description

The investigators will conduct an observational study comparing two groups of children to determine whether differences in birth events and oxygen levels during the newborn period lead to structural and functional impairment within the brain's dopaminergic pathways and the cortical regions innervated by those pathways. The dopaminergic system is involved in modulating motor control and cognitive function. Using magnetic resonance diffusion tensor imaging, structural integrity of dopaminergic circuits will be quantified and compared in post-hypoxic former preterm children versus healthy control children born at term closely matched by age/sex/race. Functional activity during executive function tasks will be quantified and compared in post-hypoxic former preterm children versus healthy control children born at term using functional magnetic resonance imaging-blood oxygen level dependent (fMRI-BOLD). Assessment of motor function (grooved pegboard task) will also be performed. ;
