Corpus callosum structural characteristics in very preterm children and adolescents: Developmental trajectory and relationship to cognitive functioning

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler, Vanessa Siffredi

Previous studies suggest that structural alteration of the corpus callosum, i.e., the largest white matter commissural pathway, occurs after a preterm birth in the neonatal period and lasts across development. The present study aims to unravel corpus callo ...

Altered orbitofrontal activation in preterm-born young adolescents during performance of a reality filtering task

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler, Vanessa Siffredi

Preterm birth is one of the main causes for neurodevelopmental problems, and has been associated with a wide range of impairments in cognitive functions including executive functions and memory. One of the factors contributing to these adverse outcomes is ...

Methods for functional connectivity and morphometry in neonatal neuroimaging to study neurodevelopment

Serafeim Loukas

Preterm birth is a major pediatric health problem that perturbs the genetically determined program of corticogenesis of the developing brain. As a consequence, prematurity has been strongly associated with adverse long-term neurodevelopmental outcome that ...

Dynamics of brain function in preterm-born young adolescents

Lorena Gonçalves de Alcântara e Freitas Krikler

Preterm birth is a major risk factor for neurodevelopment impairments often only appearing later in life. The brain is still at a high rate of development during adolescence, making this a promising window for intervention. It is thus crucial to understand ...

Mild Neonatal Brain Hypoxia-Ischemia in Very Immature Rats Causes Long-Term Behavioral and Cerebellar Abnormalities at Adulthood

Yohan Van de Looij, Hongxia Lei

Systemic hypoxia-ischemia (HI) often occurs during preterm birth in human. HI induces injuries to hinder brain cells mainly in the ipsilateral forebrain structures. Such HI injuries may cause lifelong disturbances in the distant regions, such as the contra ...

Longitudinal study of neonatal brain tissue volumes in preterm infants and their ability to predict neurodevelopmental outcome

Djalel Eddine Meskaldji, Laura Ioana Gui, Serafeim Loukas

Premature birth has been associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. However, the relation between such outcomes and brain growth in the neonatal period has not yet been fully elucidated. This study investigates longitudinal brain development between ...

Fighting preterm birth with novel surgical tools and biomaterials engineering

Yannick Robert Devaud

With advances in fetal diagnosis and therapy, fetoscopy has become a good option to treat a series of life threatening diseases like twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome or severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The efficacy of fetoscopy for those types of d ...

Connectomics across development : towards mapping brain structure from birth to childhood

Elda Fischi Gomez

The brain is probably the most complex system of the human body, composed of numerous neural units interconnected at dierent scales. This highly structured architecture provides the ability to communicate, synthesize information and perform the analytical ...
