Very preterm children, born before 32 weeks of gestation, are at risk for impaired cognitive
function, mediated by several risk factors. Cognitive impairment can be measured by various …

BACKGROUND: Preterm born children with very low birth weight (VLBW: bw≤ 1500g) have
an increased risk of perinatal brain injury which may influence the subsequent maturation of …

Very preterm birth influences brain development and may result in alterations of cortical
morphometry. These structural alterations may interact with cognitive development. The aim …

Very preterm birth (gestational age< 33 weeks) is associated with alterations in cortical
thickness and with neuropsychological/behavioural impairments. Here we studied cortical …

Cortical thickness (CTh) reflects cortical properties such as dendritic complexity and synaptic
density, which are not only vulnerable to developmental disturbances caused by premature …

Objective To evaluate the ability of four objectively defined, cortical maturation features—
surface area, gyrification index, sulcal depth and curvature—from structural MRI at term …

Cortical structure has been consistently related to cognitive abilities in children and adults,
yet we know little about how the cortex develops to support emergent cognition in infancy …

Children born prematurely with very low birth weight (VLBW: bw≤ 1500 g) have an
increased risk of preterm perinatal brain injury, which may subsequently alter the maturation …

Background Preterm birth is associated with an increased risk of neonatal brain injury, which
can lead to alterations in brain maturation. Despite being born without the most significant …

Although lower socioeconomic status (SES) is generally negatively associated with
performance on cognitive assessments, some children from lower-SES backgrounds …
