FIGURE LEGENDS
Figure 1 (A ) Grand-averaged click ABRs for AGA (blue)
and LGA (red) groups, with wave V peak pointed out. Data distribution
(violin plots) for (B ) wave V amplitude and (C ) its
latency. The black horizontal line illustrates the median and the black
vertical line delimits the interquartile range (IQR).
Figure 2 Temporal and spectral neural representation of the
consonant-vowel /da/ in the neonate’s auditory brain. (A )
Stimulus waveform (/da/); (B ) grand-averaged FFR waveforms; and
(C ) amplitude FFR spectra extracted from the consonant
transition and from the vowel regions for AGA (blue) and LGA (red)
groups. The signal (s) and noise (n) spectral windows used for FFR
quantification are marked with dark and light gray rectangles,
respectively.
Figure 3 Data distribution (violin plots) of the (A )
Pre-stimulus RMS; (B ) Neural lag; (C, D ) spectral
amplitude; and (E, F ) its normalization (SNR) extracted from
the consonant transition and from the vowel. The layout is the same to
that used in Fig. 1 (C ) and (D ).
Figure 4 Correlation between Neonatal BMI and FFR parameters.
Blue and red dots illustrate individual neonates from the AGA and LGA
groups, respectively. Neonatal BMI lower or higher than Q2 is indicated
by light and dark colors. Dashed lines illustrated the Neonatal BMI Q2
point. Black lines show the linear trend between the Neonatal BMI and
the FFR parameter. In the upper left corner of each plot, the Person’s
or Spearman’s correlation is reported together with the corresponding
p-value, depending on the normality distribution criteria.
