With advances in neonatal care, preterm neonates are surviving with an evolving
constellation of motor and cognitive disabilities that appear to be related to widespread …

The third trimester of pregnancy represents a sensitive phase for infant brain plasticity when
a series of fast-developing cellular events (synaptogenesis, neuronal migration, and …

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

The human connectome is the result of an elaborate developmental trajectory. Acquiring
diffusion-weighted imaging and resting-state fMRI, we studied connectome formation during …

Slower postnatal growth is an important predictor of adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes
in infants born preterm. However, the relationship between postnatal growth and cortical …

Procedural pain is associated with poorer neurodevelopment in infants born very preterm (⩽
32weeks gestational age), however, the etiology is unclear. Animal studies have …

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) …

Our objectives were to determine whether procedural pain and glucose exposure are
associated with altered structural and functional brain development differently in preterm …

The placenta is vital for fetal growth, and compromised function is associated with abnormal
development, especially of the brain. Linking placental function to brain development is a …

Globally, approximately 15 million infants every year (11.1% of all births) are born preterm,
at less than 37 completed weeks' gestation, with national rates varying from 5% to 18%. 1 As …
