The purpose of this study is to find out how the brain learns to move in infants with and without brain injury. Some infants with brain injury later have cerebral palsy (CP), a condition that makes it hard for infants to learn how to move and control their balance, and others do not. Three groups of infants will participate- infants who had a brain injury and are at high risk for CP, infants who had a brain injury and are not at high risk for CP, and infants who are typically developing.

In order to understand the conditions that affect the children cared for in the Division of Neurology, we need to better understand underlying mechanisms. This study will enable us to understand how the brain and nervous system work. The goal of this study is to collect biological samples and medical information from children to create a Neuroscience Biorepository to advance future neurological research. Any patient with a neurological condition can participate. Please talk to your provider (Nurse Practitioner or Doctor) about opportunities for your children or their friends to help.
