Highlights
Longitudinal DTI data were collected in very preterm (VPT) and full-term children.
We found disruptions in the posterior visual system of the VPT children.
Early life maturational deficits were found in an anophthalmic VPT child.
Preterm birth and monocular vision jointly impact neuroanatomical development.
Between birth and 8yrs of age, considerable compensatory mechanisms are evident.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
