Regulatory problems in infancy and toddlerhood have previously been associated with an increased risk of developing attention problems in childhood.
…The dorsal attention network (DAN), including frontal eye fields and posterior parietal cortices, and its link with the posterior thalamus, contribute to visual–spatial abilities. Very premature birth impairs both visual–spatial abilities and cortico‐thalamic structural connectivity.

…This longitudinal study examined the associations among infant crying, symptoms of sleeping problems, and attachment while considering the influence of maternal sensitivity and depressive symptoms.
…The competition was open to all articles that were published in international peer-reviewed journals in 2018, either electronically (must have a doi number) or in print, by Warwick Psychology PhD students who met certain conditions.
…The study by Benavente-Fernández et al1 investigated the association of maternal education as a marker of socioeconomic status (SES) and complications related to very preterm birth, such as chronic lung disease (CLD), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), and reduced white matter volume (WMV), with cognitive development in preschool-aged children.
…Since the 1980s, the long term outcomes of extremely preterm birth, before 28 weeks of gestation, have garnered considerable interest as a result of significant improvements in neonatal care and the consequent increase in survival rates.
…Aim – To determine how handedness changes with age, and its relation to brain injury and cognition in births before 26 weeks of gestation.
…To investigate the structural brain abnormalities and their diagnostic accuracy through qualitative and quantitative analysis in term born and very preterm birth or with very low birth weight (VP/VLBW) adults.
…Gyrification is a hallmark of human brain development, starting in the second half of gestation in primary cortices, followed by unimodal and then transmodal associative cortices. Alterations in gyrification have been noted in premature-born newborns and children, suggesting abnormal cortical folding to be a permanent feature of prematurity……
