Open AccessBrain volume and neurodevelopment at 13 years following sepsis in very preterm infants
Associations of neonatal infection with brain growth and later neurodevelopmental outcomes in very preterm (VP) infants are unclear. This study aimed to assess associations of neonatal sepsis in VP infants wit...

White matter tracts related to memory and emotion in very preterm children
Very preterm (VP) children are at risk of memory and emotional impairments; however, the neural correlates remain incompletely defined. This study investigated the effect of VP birth on white matter tracts tra...

Basal ganglia and thalamic tract connectivity in very preterm and full-term children; associations with 7-year neurodevelopment
Altered basal ganglia and thalamic connectivity may be critical for cognitive, motor and behavioural impairments common to very preterm (<32 weeks’ gestational age) children. This study aims to (1) compare cor...

Open AccessHistologic chorioamnionitis in preterm infants: correlation with brain magnetic resonance imaging at term equivalent age
To explore the associations between histologic chorioamnionitis with brain injury, maturation and size on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of preterm infants at term equivalent age.

Neonatal basal ganglia and thalamic volumes: very preterm birth and 7-year neurodevelopmental outcomes
This study aims to (i) compare volumes of individual basal ganglia nuclei (caudate nucleus, pallidum, and putamen) and the thalamus between very preterm (VP) and term-born infants at term-equivalent age; (ii) ...

Altered posterior cingulate brain metabolites and cognitive dysfunction in preterm adolescents
Extremely preterm (EP, <28 wk gestation) individuals have increased the risk of cognitive deficits compared with controls. The posterior cingulate region has an important role in cognitive function, but how th...

Article
Diffusion tractography and neuromotor outcome in very preterm children with white matter abnormalities
Moderate-to-severe white matter abnormality (WMA) in the newborn has been shown to produce persistent disruptions in cerebral connectivity but does not universally result in neurodevelopmental disability in ve...

Open AccessNeurobehaviour between birth and 40 weeks’ gestation in infants born <30 weeks’ gestation and parental psychological wellbeing: predictors of brain development and child outcomes
Infants born <30 weeks’ gestation are at increased risk of long term neurodevelopmental problems compared with term born peers. The predictive value of neurobehavioural examinations at term equivalent age in v...

Open AccessPreventing academic difficulties in preterm children: a randomised controlled trial of an adaptive working memory training intervention – IMPRINT study
Very preterm children exhibit difficulties in working memory, a key cognitive ability vital to learning information and the development of academic skills. Previous research suggests that an adaptive working m...

Chapter
Postnatal Hippocampal Growth in Health and Prematurity: Modulation and Implications
The hippocampus is part of the limbic system of the brain, involved with memory and learning functions. The hippocampus is vulnerable to neurological insults during development and is therefore particularly su...

Reduction in Cerebellar Volumes in Preterm Infants: Relationship to White Matter Injury and Neurodevelopment at Two Years of Age
A substantial number of prematurely born infants will experience later neurodevelopmental challenges. Abnormal development of the cerebellum may be related to some of the impairments exhibited by preterm child...
