    1. Optical Imaging for Neonatals Amrita Dhillon

    2. Neonatal brains and problems Optical imaging techniques currently used NIRS- Near Infrared spectroscopy MONSTIR Future advances

    3. Neonatal brain How is it different from an adult brain? Smaller in size Thinner cranial skull Smaller arachnoid space Sometimes underdeveloped Premature babies show very basic electrical activity in the primary sensory regions of the cerebral cortex (where touch, vision, hearing are processed)

    4. Brain size

    6. Brain size The number of neurons peak before birth 100 billion neurons are formed during the first 5 months of gestation Brain size increases gradually A newborns brain is only the size of an adults It grows to 80% of adult size by the age of three; 90% by the age of five.

    7. Change in cerebral blood flow in the first 90 hours
