No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if delaying cord clamping at the birth of term infants effects the early brain development (myelin deposition)as determined by quantitative MRI at 4 and 10 months and developmental testing at 4, 10 and 24 months. This study will help to establish a scientific basis for the timing of cord clamping with reference to brain development.
