Cerebral cortex thickness in 15-year-old adolescents with low birth weight measured by an automated MRI-based method

Cerebral cortex thickness in 15-year-old adolescents with low birth weight measured by an automated MRI-based method

Infants with low birth weight are at increased risk of perinatal brain injury. Disruption of normal cortical development may have consequences for later motor, behavioural and cognitive development. The aim of this study was to measure cerebral cortical thickness, area and volume with an automated M...

Zusammenfassung:Infants with low birth weight are at increased risk of perinatal brain injury. Disruption of normal cortical development may have consequences for later motor, behavioural and cognitive development. The aim of this study was to measure cerebral cortical thickness, area and volume with an automated MRI technique in 15-year-old adolescents who had low birth weight. Cerebral MRI for morphometric analysis was performed on 50 very low birth weight (VLBW, birth weight ≤1500 g), 49 term small for gestational age births (SGA, birth weight
