Brain motor excitability and visuomotor coordination in 8-year-old children born very preterm

Highlights ► Our study provides new insights on brain motor function in very preterm children. ► The intracortical inhibition usually required for motor planning is missing. ► This may underlie the visuomotor coordination deficits detected.
