In recent years, exploration of the develo** brain has become a major focus for
researchers and clinicians in an attempt to understand what allows children to acquire …

Perinatal care advances emerging over the past twenty years have helped to diminish the
mortality and severe neurological morbidity of extremely and very preterm neonates (eg …

BACKGROUND: Optimizing early nutritional intake in preterm neonates may promote brain
health and neurodevelopment through enhanced brain maturation. Our objectives were (1) …

Despite the advances in neonatal intensive care, the preterm brain remains vulnerable to
white matter injury (WMI) and disruption of normal brain development (ie, dysmaturation) …

The folding of the human brain mostly takes place in utero, making it challenging to study.
After a few pioneer studies looking into it in post-mortem foetal specimen, modern …

Although covarying for potential confounds or nuisance variables is common in
psychological research, relatively little is known about how the inclusion of covariates may …

Early life experiences can exert a significant influence on cortical and cognitive
development. Very preterm birth exposes infants to several adverse environmental factors …

Human cortical development during the third trimester is characterised by macro-and
microstructural changes which are reflected in alterations in diffusion MRI (dMRI) measures …

Premature birth has been associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. However,
the relation between such outcomes and brain growth in the neonatal period has not yet …

Importance Preterm birth and socioeconomic status (SES) are associated with brain
structure in childhood, but the relative contributions of each during the neonatal period are …
