Characterisation of brain volume and microstructure at term-equivalent age in infants born across the gestational age spectrum

ConclusionAll preterm sub-groups had atypical brain volume and microstructure at TEA when compared with a FT group, particularly for the CSF, temporal grey and white matter, and corpus callosum. In general, the groups followed a gradient, where the differences were most pronounced for the VP group, less pronounced for the MP group, and least pronounced for the LP group. The VP sub-group was particularly vulnerable compared with the MP and LP sub-groups.
