Distinct Circle of Willis anatomical configurations in healthy preterm born adults: a 3D time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography study by Greggio, J, Malamateniou, C, Baruteau, KP, Reyes-Aldasoro, CC, Huckstep, OJ, Francis, JM, Williamson, W, Leeson, P, Lewandowski, AJ, Lapidaire, W

“…However, the incidence of absent segments was lower in preterm adults, who were more likely to exhibit variants associated with complete CoW configurations compared to full-term adults (p = 0.025). Preterm males had a higher probability of a group 1 variant (circles with one or more hypoplastic segments only) than the full-term group (p = 0.024). …”

Social gating of statistical learning in infants through interpersonal neural synchrony by Teo, Kai Xin

“…Infants of 8 to 10 months old (n = 18) were recruited and results showed that there were significant effects of eye- contact on neural synchrony (within-infant, within-adult, and infant-adult), but it was only found for within-infant synchrony in the full eye-contact condition. No significant findings were found between neural synchrony and statistical language learning. …”
