Bibliographic record
Abstract
Reliability and robustness of resting state functional connectivity MRI (rs-fcMRI) relies, in part, on minimizing the influence of head motion on measured brain signals. The confounding effects of head motion on functional connectivity have been extensively studied in adults, but its impact on newborn brain connectivity remains unexplored. Here, using a large newborn data set consisting of 159 rs-fcMRI scans acquired in the Developing Brain Institute at Children's National Hospital and 416 scans from The Developing Human Connectome Project (dHCP), we systematically investigated associations between head motion and rs-fcMRI. Head motion during the scan significantly affected connectivity at sensory-related networks and default mode networks, and at the whole brain scale; the direction of motion effects varied across the whole brain. Comparing high- versus low-head motion groups suggested that head motion can impact connectivity estimates across the whole brain. Censoring of high-motion volumes using frame-wise displacement significantly reduced the confounding effects of head motion on neonatal rs-fcMRI. Lastly, in the dHCP data set, we demonstrated similar persistent associations between head motion and network connectivity despite implementing a standard denoising strategy. Collectively, our results highlight the importance of using rigorous head motion correction in preprocessing neonatal rs-fcMRI to yield reliable estimates of brain activity.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
