Preterm birth is linked to brain abnormalities, specifically reduced deep grey matter volumes. This white matter injury impacts remote brain structures, affecting neurodevelopment in infants.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Biology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Preterm birth is a major risk factor for neurodevelopmental and cognitive impairments.
  • Diffuse white matter abnormality is common in preterm infants but its impact is unclear.
  • Understanding brain alterations in preterm infants is crucial for early intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate cerebral morphological alterations in preterm infants.
  • To correlate white matter injury with deep grey matter development.
  • To explore the impact of prematurity on brain structure.

Main Methods:

  • Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at term equivalent age.
  • Diffusion-weighted imaging for tissue damage quantification.
  • Deformation-based morphometry for whole-brain analysis.

Main Results:

  • Preterm infants showed reduced thalamic and lentiform volumes.
  • These alterations worsened with increased prematurity.
  • Deep grey matter growth failure was associated with white matter injury.

Conclusions:

  • White matter injury in preterm infants is linked to maldevelopment of remote structures.
  • Corticothalamic connectivity may be disturbed during critical developmental periods.
  • Deformation-based morphometry is valuable for studying infant brain development and injury.
