A new study reports babies born prematurely perform as well as those who were born full term in developmental tasks of language and cognition.
Researchers report using neuroimaging to map the brains of preterm babies soon after their born could hold clues as to possible disabilities they may develop.
Researchers report the adult IQ of preterm and low birth weight babies can be predicted by the age of two, but for full term babies, IQ can not be predicted until they are six.
An important new study reveals breast feeding not only helps pass immunity onto infants and reduces the risk of obesity, it can also help preterm babies develop more robust white matter.
Preterm babies fed mostly breast milk during the first month of life have more robust brain growth than those fed little or no breast milk, researchers report.
A simple test using a raisin can help predict future academic performance in toddlers.
When a mother speaks to her newborn during a medical intervention, the baby's oxytocin levels increase and their expression of pain decreases.
A new deep learning algorithm can interpret EEG data from preterm babies and estimate the child's brain functional maturity, researchers report.
A new study reveals premature babies may suffer from severe abnormalities of the thalamus, especially if they are born before 28 weeks gestation.
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.
Researchers have identified a source of spontaneous bursts of neural activity in the brains of preterm babies.
Study may provide clues as to why seemingly healthy babies born prematurely often face higher risks of developmental delays.
