Caregiver-infant interactions selectively shape emerging functional connectivity in the neonatal brain

2026-05-14

Abstract excerpt

From birth, human infants engage in multi-modal social exchanges with caregivers that involve the coordination of gaze and touch to guide attention and support neurodevelopment. However, little is known about the association between these first interactive experiences and the functional organization of the developing brain during the first postnatal month, a window of remarkable brain growth in humans. We address...
