Abstract

MRI data of brains of 218 adolescents (ages 14-15 years) born very preterm, < 33 weeks gestation (VPT), and 128 controls bom at term were compared, using voxel-based morphometry, and the findings correlated with neurodevelopmental outcome in a study at King's College London Institute of Psychiatry and Centre for Neuroimaging Sciences, Maudsley NHS Trust, London, UK.
