- HMO human milk oligosaccharide(s). These carbohydrates are resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis by digestive enzymes (e.g. pancreatic and/or brush border), indicating that they may display functions not directly related to their caloric value. It has especially been illustrated that they play a vital role in the early development of infants and young children, such as the maturation of the immune system. Many different kinds of HMOs are found in the human milk.
- Each individual oligosaccharide is based on a combination of glucose, galactose, sialic acid (N- acetyl neuraminic acid), fucose and/or N- acetylglucosamine with many and varied linkages between them, thus accounting for the enormous number of different oligosaccharides in human milk - over 130 such structures have been identified so far. Almost all of them have a lactose moiety at their reducing end while sialic acid and/or fucose (when present) occupy terminal positions at the non-reducing ends.
- the HMOs can be acidic (e.g. charged sialic acid containing oligosaccharide) or neutral (e.g.
- HMOs fucosylated oligosaccharides
- N-acetylated oligosaccharides the fucosylated oligosaccharides

Some examples are 3-SL (3’-sialyllactose) and 6-SL (6’-sialyllactose). The expressions “sialylated oligosaccharide” and “sialyllactose (SL)” can be used interchangeably.
- the trisaccharide sialyllactose consists of lactose at the reducing terminus and one sialic acid residue at the non-reducing end via an alpha-2,3 binding or alpha-2,6 binding, resulting in 3'-SL and 6'-SL, respectively.
- the nutritional composition of the present invention can be in solid form (e.g. powder) or in liquid form.
- the amount of the various ingredients e.g. the oligosaccharides
- prebiotic means non-digestible carbohydrates that beneficially affect the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or the activity of healthy bacteria such as bifidobacteria in the colon of humans (Gibson GR, Roberfroid MB.

- A-tetrasaccharide is a-D-GalNAc-(l - 3)-[alpha-L-Fuc-(l- 2)]- -D-Gal-(1 A 4)-D- Glc
- brain development refers to the hierarchical process of brain growth, including wiring the brain, such that later development depends on early development, that begins around 2 weeks after conception and continues into young adulthood 20 years later. Brain development builds on itself, as initially brain cells grow in number and then start connecting eventually linking with each other in more complex ways, enabling the child to move and speak and think in ever more complex ways.
- An example of the hierarchical process of brain development is that language development depends critically on sensory and perceptual development (e.g., discrimination of speech sounds).

- A-tetra were quantified using standard curves with authentic HMO standards.

- rs-fMRI images were preprocessed using FMRIB Software Library (FSL) ((Smith et al., Neuroimage, 2004, 23 Suppl 1 : S208-19), including typical preprocessing steps.
- FSL FMRIB Software Library
- Anatomical images were segmented using iBEAT V2.0 (http://www.ibeat.doud) to generate brain tissue segmentation images (Dai et al., Neuroinformatics, 2013, 11 : 211 -225). Each voxel was labeled as gray matter, white matter, or cerebrospinal fluid.
- tissue segmentation images were then used to register to the MNI template using the advanced normalization tools (ANTS) (Avants et al., NeuroImage, 2011 , 54: 2033-2044; Li et al., NeuroImage, 2014, 90: 266-279; Li et al., Medical Image Analysis, 2015. 25: 22-36; Li et al., NeuroImage, 2019, 185: 906-925; and Wang etal., Volume-Based Analysis of 6-Month-Old Infant Brain MRI for Autism Biomarker Identification and Early Diagnosis, in Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention - MICCAI 2018. 2018. Cham: Springer International Publishing) .
- ALS advanced normalization tools
- the AAL atlas with 90 regions-of-interest (ROIs) Tzourio-Mazoyer et al., NeuroImage, 2002, 15: 273-289) was deformed back to the subject space to extract the preprocessed time-series BOLD signals of each ROI from rs-fMRI images.
- a 90x90 functional connectivity (FC) matrix was derived by calculating the Pearson's correlation between each pair of ROIs, reflecting the connection between pairs of brain regions, for each subject.
- the network construction was adopted by matching the AAL atlas to the functional networks detected by the independent component analysis (Beckmann et al., Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2005, 360: 1001 -13; and Tagliazucchi etal., Neuron, 2014, 82: 695-708), including medial visual network (MVN), lateral visual network (LVN), default mode network (DMN), sensorimotor network (SMN), auditory/language processing network (AUD/LANG), and the executive control network (ECN).
- a network connection strength an average of correlation coefficients of all connections within a given network, was obtained for each network. In the context of early brain development, the network connection strengths have been implicated to be a surrogate marker of brain functional maturation. Thus, the network connection strengths were used as the outcomes in our study.
- the starting model included all eight HMOs.
- An age cutoff between 3 and 15 months with an increment of one month was applied for each of the eight HMOs.
- AIC Akaike information criterion
- the functional network strength can be evaluated as how strongly are the parts of the functional network interrelated.
- the default mode network (DMN) strength was derived by calculating the Pearson’s correlation between each pair of the following regions of interest: Cuneus, superior frontal gyrus (both medial and dorsal component), posterior cingulate gyrus, rectus gyrus, angular gyrus, precuneus, thalamus and superior temporal gyrus.
- These regions of the default mode network largely activate in tasks requiring participants to understand and interact with others, such as perceiving and interpreting other's emotion status, showing empathy to other people, inferring other's belief and intention, and performing moral judgments on other's behaviour (Schilbach et al., Conscious. Cogn., 2008, 17: 457-467; and Laird et al., J. Cogn. Neurosci., 2011 , 23: 4022-4037).
- benefits associated with this domain are social-emotional skills.
