“…Abnormal increases in lateral ventricle volumes were observed in 46% of the infants. This finding and the thinning of the corpus callosum in preterm infants are in accordance with previous descriptions [20] and are directly related to white matter injury [19,21]. When the increase in lateral ventricle volume was unilateral, the left ventricle was predominantly affected.…”

“…Diffuse and cystic periventricular leukomalacia, intraventricular haemorrhages, cerebral infarcts, cerebral cortex and cerebellar atrophies and T2-weighted diffuse WM abnormalities are pathologies related to poor neurodevelopmental outcomes [18,19]. The association between neonatal brain volumes and later neurodevelopmental outcomes has been explored in a few studies.…”

“…Enlarged extracerebral space is a relatively common abnormal finding [20]. Anderson et al [19] described that in the 1998-2000 Christchurch cohort, 51% of very preterm infants had a mild enlargement of the extracerebral space, while an additional 17% had a moderate-to-severe enlargement. As mentioned in the results, enlarged extracerebral space was also observed in all the groups of our sample, especially those with infants who had a GA of 37-38 or 39-40 weeks.…”

Objective: To evaluate Katona's neurohabilitation therapy in preterm and term infants with risk factors for brain damage followed up to 24 months of age.Methods: 262 infants from 25 to 40 weeks of gestational age (GA) were treated with neurohabilitation beginning before 2 months of corrected age. Treatment was intensive, sustained for at least 12 months and required family participation. Neuropediatric examinations, MRI and Bayley-II scales were performed.Results: Abnormal MRI findings were observed in 80% of infants (increase in lateral ventricle volumes, decrease in corpus callosum volume, diffuse and cystic periventricular leukomalacia, diffuse white matter abnormalities, haemorrhages, infarcts).Outcome: Bayley-II scales showed that 20% of infants with a GA of less than 29 weeks and less than 15% of infants with a 30-40 week GA had significantly delayed MDI and PDI scores. Conclusion:Diagnosis and treatment using neurohabilitation in new-borns at risk of brain damage is recommended.

Studying neuroanatomy using MRI

The study of neuroanatomy using imaging enables key insights into how our brains function, are shaped by genes and environment, and change with development, aging, and disease. Developments in MRI acquisition, image processing, and data modelling have been key to these advances. However, MRI provides an indirect measurement of the biological signals we aim to investigate. Thus, artifacts and key questions of correct interpretation can confound the readouts provided by anatomical MRI. In this review we provide an overview of the methods for measuring macro-and mesoscopic structure and inferring microstructural properties; we also describe key artefacts and confounds that can lead to incorrect conclusions. Ultimately, we believe that, though methods need to improve and caution is required in its interpretation, structural MRI continues to have great promise in furthering our understanding of how the brain works.

“…Prognostic models based on gestational age, neonatal morbidities and therapeutic interventions like the use of steroids in the neonatal period (4), as well as neurological assessment tools (5,6), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (7) or a combination of these (8,9), may be used to predict outcomes in high-risk infants. A common finding is that accuracy of neurologic assessment increases with age on assessment, delaying interventions beyond the time when brain plasticity is assumed to be at its highest (10,11).…”
