          Omega-3 Fatty Acid Could Boost IQ for Preterm Babies

          Providing DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, to children born prematurely boosted their IQ by 3.5 points compared to preterm infants who did not receive DHA supplementation.

          Maternal Voice Reduces Pain in Premature Babies

          When a mother speaks to her newborn during a medical intervention, the baby's oxytocin levels increase and their expression of pain decreases.

          Lack of oxygen doesn’t kill infant brain cells, as previously thought

          A lack of oxygen as a result of preterm birth does not cause hippocampal neurons to die but does impair hippocampal development. Hypoxia causes hippocampal cells to fail to mature normally, causing a reduction in long-term potentiation and impaired learning.

          Music helps to build the brains of very premature babies

          Music specially composed for preterm babies helps strengthen the development of neural networks and may help to limit neurodevelopmental delays often experienced by those born prematurely.

          Developing Brains of Preterm Babies Benefit From Caffeine Therapy

          A new study reveals caffeine therapy appears to have benefits for healthy brain development in children born prematurely. Researchers report preterm babies given caffeine therapy had better cognitive scores, reduced odds of cerebral palsy and less hearing impairments as toddlers.

          Checking Very Preterm Babies’ Head Size Can Help Identify Long Term IQ Problems

          Measuring and monitoring the circumference of a preterm baby's head could help to predict intelligence later in life and identify potential neurocognitive problems. Researchers report faster head growth is linked to higher IQ scores at age 26.

          Premature Birth Linked to Older ‘Brain Age’ in Adulthood

          A Neuroimaging study, conducted by King's College London researchers, reveals accelerated brain aging during adulthood for those born very prematurely. Researchers noted those born preterm tended to have smaller global gray matter volume and some brain structure changes in areas associate with spatial abilities and behavior control in adulthood.
