• Programming bugs: microbiota and the developmental origins of brain health and disease 

  Codagnone, Martin G.; Spichak, Simon; O'Mahony, Siobhain M.; O'Leary, Olivia F.; Clarke, Gerard; Stanton, Catherine; Dinan, Timothy G.; Cryan, John F. (Elsevier, 2018-06-27)

  It has been nearly 30 years since Dr. David Barker first highlighted the importance of prenatal factors in contributing to the developmental origins of adult disease. This concept was later broadened to include postnatal ...
• Epigenetic silencing by early life hypoxic stress programmes respiratory motor control 

  O'Connor, Karen M.; Dias, Maria L.; McDonald, Fiona B.; O'Halloran, Ken D. (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2019-11-04)

  Preterm birth is a risk factor for the development of cardiorespiratory complications. Infants that are born prematurely face myriad challenges due to physiological immaturity. Respiratory control impairments in early life ...
• The association between caesarean section and cognitive ability in childhood 

  Hanrahan, Michael; McCarthy, Fergus P.; O'Keeffe, Gerard W.; Khashan, Ali S. (Springer, 2019-10-22)

  Purpose: Global rates of caesarean section (CS) rates have increased rapidly in recent years. This is a growing public health concern as it has been proposed that CS may impact cognitive outcomes in childhood. However, the ...
• Neonatal seizure detection from raw multi-channel EEG using a fully convolutional architecture 

  O'Shea, Alison; Lightbody, Gordon; Boylan, Geraldine; Temko, Andriy (Elsevier Ltd., 2019-11-30)

  A deep learning classifier for detecting seizures in neonates is proposed. This architecture is designed to detect seizure events from raw electroencephalogram (EEG) signals as opposed to the state-of-the-art hand engineered ...
• The impact of preterm adversity on cardiorespiratory function 

  McDonald, Fiona B.; Dempsey, Eugene M.; O'Halloran, Ken D. (Wiley, 2019-10-18)

  Preterm birth is one of the leading causes of neonatal mortality. Babies that survive early‐life stress associated with immaturity have significant prevailing short‐ and long‐term morbidities. Oxygen dysregulation in the ...
