Infant Research Opportunity
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are studying how infants' brains change as they learn new motor skills. Results may assist with better treatment methods for Cerebral Palsy.
Cerebral Palsy and the Study of Brain Activity During Motor Tasks
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seek participants age five and older with childhood-onset brain injury (e.g.,cerebral palsy) to join a research study. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and/or electroencephalography (EEG) may be used to study brain activity. Learning how the brain controls muscles may help design treatments to help patients with brain injury to move better.
Near-infrared Spectroscopy and Electroencephalography to Assess Cortical Activation During Motor Tasks in Infants and Toddlers with or at high-risk for Cerebral Palsy and Autism Spectrum Disorder Compared to Infants and Toddlers with Typical Development
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health are conducting a research study to learn more about the motor skill and brain development of infants who are at high-risk for or diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) compared to infants with typical development. The results of this study may assist with better methods for early diagnosis as well as improved treatment for children with CP and ASD. The results of this study may eventually assist with better methods for early diagnosis as well as improved treatment for children with autism.
