Journal ArticleDOI

Abnormal Cerebral Structure Is Present at Term in Premature Infants

TL;DR: This MRI study of prematurely born infants further defines the nature of quantitative cerebral structural abnormalities present as early as term equivalent and is related most significantly to the degree of immaturity at birth and to concomitant WM injury.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early Experience Alters Brain Function and Structure

TL;DR: This is the first in vivo evidence of enhanced brain function and structure due to the NIDCAP, and demonstrates that quality of experience before term may influence brain development significantly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microstructural development of human newborn cerebral white matter assessed in vivo by diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging.

TL;DR: The data indicate that quantitative assessment of water diffusion by diffusion tensor MRI provides insight into microstructural development in cerebral white matter in living infants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging of brain development in premature and mature newborns

TL;DR: The application of 3D MRI and tissue segmentation to the study of human infant brain from 29 to 41 weeks of postconceptional age has provided new insights into cerebral cortical development and myelination and has for the first time provided means of quantitative assessment in vivo of early human brain development.
Journal ArticleDOI

The early development of brain white matter: A review of imaging studies in fetuses, newborns and infants

TL;DR: Current knowledge from post-mortem descriptions and in vivo MRI studies is summed up, focusing on T1- and T2-weighted imaging, diffusion tensor imaging, and quantitative mapping of T1/T2 relaxation times, myelin water fraction and magnetization transfer ratio.
