Characterization of the neurometabolic coupling in the premature brain using NIRS and EEG (2021)
Abstract / truncated to 115 words
Every year, an estimated 15 million babies are born preterm, that is, before 37 weeks of gestation. This number is rising in all countries and currently represents more than 1 in 10 babies, affecting families all over the world.
