Mapping neurodevelopment with sleep macro- and micro-architecture across multiple pediatric populations.

ABSTRACT: Profiles of sleep duration and timing and corresponding electroencephalographic activity reflect brain changes that support cognitive and behavioral maturation and may provide practical markers for tracking typical and atypical neurodevelopment. To build and evaluate a sleep-based, quantitative metric of brain maturation, we used whole-night polysomnography data, initially from two large National Sleep Research Resource samples, spanning childhood and adolescence (total N = 4,013, aged 2.5 to 17.5 years): the Childhood Adenotonsillectomy Trial (CHAT), a research study of children with snoring without neurodevelopmental delay, and Nationwide Children's Hospital (NCH) Sleep Databank, a pediatric sleep clinic cohort. Among children without neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), sleep metrics der
