Babies' brains to be monitored using light scans
Aug. 20, 2007 -- Researchers hoping to better understand the development of the infant brain have long been stymied by a formidable obstacle: babies just don't want to sit still for brain scans. "There have been some studies that obtained brain scans of infants while they were napping or sedated, but what we'd really like to do is to scan their brains when they're sitting on a parent's lap, seeing new things, hearing new words and interacting with the environment," says Joseph Culver, Ph.D., assistant professor of radiology at the School of Medicine.
