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 gut microbiota is increasingly recognized as a modulator of brain and behavior but its
role in early childhood, when the microbiome and the brain are both undergoing rapid …

Very preterm human neonates are exposed to numerous invasive procedures as part of life-
saving care. Evidence suggests that repetitive neonatal procedural pain precedes long-term …

Objective: To quantitatively assess white matter injury (WMI) volume and location in very
preterm neonates, and to examine the association of lesion volume and location with 18 …

Background Preterm infants are at high risk of diffuse white matter injury and adverse
neurodevelopmental outcome. The multiple hit hypothesis suggests that the risk of white …

Preterm-born children are at increased risk of lifelong neurodevelopmental difficulties.
Group-wise analyses of magnetic resonance imaging show many differences between …

Prematurity disrupts brain maturation by exposing the developing brain to different noxious
stimuli present in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and depriving it from meaningful …

Children born very preterm (< 33 weeks of gestation) are at a higher risk of developing socio-
emotional difficulties compared with those born at term. In this longitudinal study, we tested …

Background: Preterm birth has a dramatic impact on polyunsaturated fatty acid exposures for
the developing brain. This study examined the association between postnatal fatty acid …

Objective To examine white matter abnormalities, measured by Diffusion Tensor Imaging
(DTI), in very preterm (< 32 weeks) and moderate-late preterm neonates (32-37 weeks) at …
