Abstract

The infant brain shows rapid neural network development that considerably influences cognitive and behavioral abilities in later life. Reportedly, this neural development process can be indexed by estimating neural signal complexity. However, the precise developmental trajectory of brain signal complexity during infancy remains elusive. This study was conducted to ascertain the trajectory of magnetoencephalography (MEG) signal complexity from 2 months to 3 years of age in five infants using multiscale entropy (MSE), which captures signal complexity at multiple temporal scales. Analyses revealed scale-dependent developmental trajectories. Specifically, signal complexity predominantly increased from 5 to 15 months of age at higher temporal scales, whereas the complexity at lower temporal scales was constant across age, except in one infant who showed decreased complexity. Despite a small sample size limiting this study's power, this is the first report of a longitudinal investigation of changes in brain signal complexity during early infancy and is unique in its application of MSE analysis of longitudinal MEG data during infancy. The results of this pilot study may serve to further our understanding of the longitudinal changes in the neural dynamics of the developing infant brain.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 August 2018.
All research outputs
#16,053,755
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Neuroscience
#7,066
of 11,542 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#196,596
of 341,562 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Neuroscience
#163
of 237 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 11,542 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.0. This one is in the 36th percentile – i.e., 36% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 341,562 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 237 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
