Family nurture intervention alters relationships between preterm infant EEG delta brush characteristics and term age EEG power.

CONCLUSIONS: DBs are related to subsequent brain activity and FNI alters DB parameters. However, FNI's effects on electrocortical activity at term age are not dependent on its earlier effects on DBs. SIGNIFICANCE: While early DBs can have important effects on later brain activity in preterm infants, facilitating emotional connection with FNI may allow brain maturation to be less dependent on early bursts.
