TL;DR: It is concluded that noxious information is transmitted to the preterm infant cortex from 25 weeks, highlighting the potential for both higher-level pain processing and pain-induced plasticity in the human brain from a very early age.

TL;DR: An experimentally and clinically testable hypothesis is proposed concerning the origin of very fast EEG oscillations that sometimes precede the onset of focal seizures, which may play a causal role in the initiation of seizures.

TL;DR: It is difficult to infer intra- versus inter-hemispheric language reorganization on the basis of clinical observations in the presence of early pathology to the left hemisphere, and handedness, age at onset of chronic seizures, and site of EEG abnormality also showed no obvious association with language lateralization.

TL;DR: The data suggest that oral sucrose does not significantly affect activity in neonatal brain or spinal cord nociceptive circuits, and therefore might not be an effective analgesic drug.

TL;DR: A transition in brain response following tactile and noxious stimulation from nonspecific, evenly dispersed neuronal bursts to modality-specific, localized, evoked potentials is shown.
