Background Over the past several decades, improvements in technology in the Neonatal
Intensive Care Unit (NICU) have led to improved survival of preterm infants. Some studies …

Modern health care has brought our society innumerable benefits but has also introduced
the experience of pain very early in life. For example, it is now routine care for newborns to …

can result in cerebral palsy and cognitive impairment in survivors. No optimal therapy exists …

Importance Studies of socioeconomic status and neurodevelopmental outcome in very
preterm neonates have not sensitively accounted for brain injury. Objective To determine the …

Objective To determine the associations of different grades of intraventricular haemorrhage
(IVH), particularly grades 1 and 2, with neurodevelopmental outcomes at 8 years of age in …

Neural activity is both a driver of brain development and a readout of developmental
processes. Changes in neuronal activity are therefore both the cause and consequence of …
