The Brains of Babies: A Surface Based Approach To Study Cortical Development in Term and Preterm Human Infants
… Although advances in newborn medicine have increased survival rates of very preterm infants to almost 90%, surviving preterm infants are at increased risk for developing lasting neurologic impairments. In order to develop a plausible neuroprotective strategy it is imperative that we improve …
