Recent Publications supported by UNC Core Facilities- Neural alterations in opioid-exposed infants revealed by edge-centric brain functional networks May 23, 2022Prenatal opioid exposure has been linked to adverse effects spanning multiple neurodevelopmental domains, including cognition, motor development, attention, and vision. However, the neural basis of these abnormalities is largely unknown. A total of 49 infants, including 21 opioid-exposed and 28 controls, were enrolled and underwent MRI (43 ± 6 days old) after birth, including resting […]Weixiong Jiang
