Abstract
Purpose: Examine brain structure and function in OBPP and relate to clinical outcomes to better understand the effects of decreased motor activity on early brain development.Methods: 9 OBPP, 7 controls underwent structural MRI scans. OBPP group completed evaluations of upper-limb function and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) during motor tasks.Results: Mean primary motor area volume was lower in both OBPP hemispheres. No volume...
