Infants born at very low birth weight (< 1500 g) are vulnerable to nutritional deficits during
their first postnatal month, which are associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes …

Background & aims Exposure to a suboptimal environment during the fetal and early infancy
period's results in long-term consequences for brain morphology and function. We …

Background Very low birth weight (VLBW) infants are at risk for disrupted white matter
maturation, yet little is known about the contributing factors, particularly at preschool-age …

Preterm birth and very low birth weight (VLBW,≤ 1500 g) are worldwide problems that
burden survivors with lifelong cognitive, psychological, and physical challenges. In this …

Background: Determining optimal nutritional regimens in extremely preterm infants remains
challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a new nutritional regimen and …

Background This study aimed to investigate the effect of nutrition and growth during the first
4 weeks after birth on cerebral volumes and white matter maturation at term equivalent age …

BACKGROUND: Optimizing early nutritional intake in preterm neonates may promote brain
health and neurodevelopment through enhanced brain maturation. Our objectives were (1) …

Background It is well known that white matter injuries observed at birth are associated with
adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes later in life. Whether white matter developmental …

Nutritional intake can promote early neonatal brain development in very preterm born
neonates (< 32 weeks' gestation). In a group of 7-year-old very preterm born children …
