Alterations in frontostriatal pathways in children born very preterm

Children born very preterm (<32wks' gestation) are at risk of white matter injury, particularly in frontostriatal pathways that mediate executive functioning. However, it is unclear whether very preterm children without evidence of neonatal brain injury manifest long-term white matter microstructural differences once they reach school age and if this is related to cognitive impairments.Twenty school-aged children born very preterm (11 males,...
