Title
Preterm birth results in alterations in neural connectivity at age 16 years.
Abstract
Very low birth weight preterm (PT) children are at high risk for brain injury. Employing diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), we tested the hypothesis that PT adolescents would demonstrate microstructural white matter disorganization relative to term controls at 16years of age. Forty-four PT subjects (600–1250g birth weight) without neonatal brain injury and 41 term controls were evaluated at age 16years with DTI, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—III (WISC), the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised (PPVT), and the Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOPP).
