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……
…Serious illness, struggling to hold down a regular job, and poor social relationships are just some of the adverse outcomes in adulthood faced by those exposed to bullying in childhood… More
…Q&A with Dieter Wolke on his recent study in Psychological Science, Impact of Bullying in Childhood on Adult Health, Wealth, Crime, and Social Outcomes.
…Adults who had experienced infant regulatory problems (RPs) have more avoidant personality traits that are mediated by the default mode network (DMN). Persistent and/or multiple infant RPs and the DMN may be targets to attenuate behavioral and emotional problems.
…Objective -To investigate whether level of prematurity (very, moderate, late preterm, vs full term) is associated with physical activity from childhood to adolescence and to identify factors in childhood that predict moderate-vigorous physical activity in early adolescence.
