Impaired cognitive functioning after perinatal stroke has been associated with long-term functional brain network changes. We explored brain functional connectivity using a 64-channel resting-state electroencephalogram in 12 participants, aged 5-14 years with a history of unilateral perinatal arterial ischemic or haemorrhagic stroke. A control group of 16 neurologically healthy subjects was also included-each test subject was compared with multiple control subjects, matched by sex and age. Functional connectomes from the alpha frequency band were calculated for each subject and the differences in network graph metrics between the 2 groups were analyzed. Our results suggest that the functional brain networks of children with perinatal stroke show evidence of disruption even years after the insult and that the scale of changes appears to be influenced by the lesion volume. The networks remain more segregated and show a higher synchronization at both whole-brain and intrahemispheric level. Total interhemispheric strength was higher in children with perinatal stroke compared with healthy controls.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D020521 Stroke A group of pathological conditions characterized by sudden, non-convulsive loss of neurological function due to BRAIN ISCHEMIA or INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES. Stroke is classified by the type of tissue NECROSIS, such as the anatomic location, vasculature involved, etiology, age of the affected individual, and hemorrhagic vs. non-hemorrhagic nature.
