Early life experiences, such as very preterm (VP) birth, can affect brain and cognitive
development. Several prior studies investigated brain structure in adults born VP; …

The stressful extrauterine environment following premature birth likely has far-reaching and
persistent adverse consequences. The effects of early “third-trimester” ex utero stress on …

Importance Very preterm neonates (24-32 weeks' gestation) remain at a higher risk of
morbidity and neurodevelopmental adversity throughout their lifespan. Because the extent of …

Background This study aimed to explore the main risk factors for cerebral palsy in children
by meta-analysis of the literature on the risk factors of cerebral palsy. Methods We performed …

Developmental and evolutionary effects on brain organization are complex, yet linked, as
evidenced by the correspondence in cortical area expansion across these vastly different …

The circadian system in mammals ensures adaptation to the light-dark cycle on Earth and
imposes 24-h rhythmicity on metabolic, physiological and behavioral processes. The central …

Preterm birth and its complications and the associated adverse factors, including brain
hemorrhage, inflammation, and the side effects of medical treatments, are the leading …

Neonatal brain injury is often caused by preterm birth. Brain development is vulnerable to
increased environmental stress, including oxidative stress challenges. Due to a premature …
