Electroencephalographic activity of preterm infants is increased by Family Nurture Intervention: A randomized controlled trial in the NICU

Highlights • Family Nurture Intervention (FNI) is designed to facilitate affective connections between prematurely born infants and their mothers. • At term age, prematurely born infants with FNI had robust increases in frontal brain activity. • Promoting early nurturing interactions may improve neu...
