Tactile sensitivity and motor coordination in infancy - RAW DATA

Outcome measures were tactile and nociceptive threshold (lowest force required to evoke any leg movement, or brisk leg withdrawal, respectively), and specific motor flexion threshold (ankle-, knee-, hip-flexion). This dataset includes sample demographics (including clinical history and study-related information) and motor responses following each stimulus application (identified post-hoc using video recordings).

General Anesthesia & Brain Activity Study (GABA): This data was collected as part of the General Anesthesia and Brain Activity (GABA) study. The GABA study is a prospective, longitudinal investigation of neurodevelopment in children who had multiple, single and no exposure to general anaesthesia in the first few months of life. Ethics statement: Institutional review board approval was obtained from Boston Children’s Hospital (IRB-P00028129) prior to starting the study.
