Background Despite advances in antenatal and neonatal care, preterm birth remains a
leading cause of neurological disabilities in children. Infants born prematurely, particularly …

Objective To use structural connectivity to (1) compare brain networks between typically and
atypically developing (very preterm) children,(2) explore associations between potential …

Preterm birth (PTB) is a leading cause of neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive
impairment in childhood and is closely associated with psychiatric disease. The biological …

Very preterm infants (≤ 31 weeks gestational age) are at high risk for brain injury and
delayed development. Applying functional connectivity and graph theory methods to resting …

Objective Premature birth is associated with numerous complex abnormalities of white and
gray matter and a high incidence of long‐term neurocognitive impairment. An integrated …

Prematurely born children are at increased risk for cognitive deficits, but the neurobiological
basis of these findings remains poorly understood. Because variations in neural circuitry …

Brain injury sustained during the neonatal period may disrupt development of critical
structural and functional connectivity networks leading to subsequent neurodevelopmental …

For typically developing infants, the last trimester of fetal development extending into the first
post-natal months is a period of rapid brain development. Infants who are born premature …

Higher risk for long-term cognitive and behavioral impairments is one of the hallmarks of
extreme prematurity (EP) and pregnancy-associated fetal adverse conditions such as …

Background Very preterm birth is associated with an increased risk of childhood
psychopathology and cognitive deficits. However, the extent to which these developmental …
