Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for infants with certain types of brain injuries caused by strokes at birth. Participants will have several visits where they will undergo MRI scans and motor assessments while they sleep.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I am an infant between term age and 24 months old.
I have been diagnosed with a perinatal stroke or related brain injury.
I can communicate in English or have an English-speaking guardian.
You may not be able to join if
I have another neurologic disorder unrelated to perinatal stroke.
I have a metabolic disorder.
I have a disorder affecting cell migration or growth.
I have had a traumatic brain injury.

This study will be a longitudinal multiple-visit observational study, done to identify possible bioindicators of recovery and repair of motor corticospinal pathways which may be targeted by future interventions in infants with perinatal stroke.
65 participants will be recruited and complete 1 visit at time point 1 (0-2 months), and 2 visits at each timepoints 2-5 with windows of +- 4 weeks (3-6 m…

65 participants will be recruited and complete 1 visit at time point 1 (0-2 months), and 2 visits at each timepoints 2-5 with windows of +- 4 weeks (3-6 months, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months). Visits will consist of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) assessment during the child's natural sleep, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and Motor Behavioral Assessments.
