Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Brooke Yancey-Ward's research program investigates the effects of maternal adiposity during pregnancy on neonatal brain development. Her work utilizes fetal magnetoencephalography (MEG) to examine power spectral density and its correlation with neurobehavioral outcomes, particularly in cases of fetal growth restriction (FGR) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Yancey-Ward has published research exploring associations between maternal body composition during gestation and the development of the neonatal brain cortex. Her collaborations within the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences include work with Alexa Celeste Escapita, Richard Hall, Sherry E. Courtney, and Abhay A. Shukla. Yancey-Ward has a total of two publications, with her most recent work published in 2026, indicating recent activity in her research area.
