Abstract:

In this thesis electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are used to investigate the temporal and spatial patterns of noxious-evoked brain activity in newborn infants. EEG was used to investigate responses to graded intensities of experimental noxious stimulation, and evoked brain activity was compared with behavioural and spinal cord activity constituting common surrogate measures of pain in infants.
