The brain displays a remarkable ability to adapt following injury by altering its connections through neural plasticity. However, we know very little about why plasticity occurs in some areas of the brain, and not others. Here we investigated how the …
We know the hippocampus is important for memory, but many of the lesion studies in humans and non-human primates investigating the role of the hippocampus in memory have also affected other related structures. Studies in rodents can overcome this …
Very preterm birth (VPT; <32 weeks of gestation) has been associated with impairments in memory abilities and functional neuroanatomical brain alterations in medial temporal and fronto-parietal areas. Here we investigated the relationship between …
Very preterm (textless32 weeks of gestation) birth is associated with structural brain alterations and memory impairments throughout childhood and adolescence. Here, we used functional MRI (fMRI) to study the neuroanatomy of recognition memory in 49 …
Deficits in memory function have been described in children and adolescents who were born very preterm (VPT), which can have profound effects on their school achievement and everyday life. However, to date, little is known about the development of …
Very preterm (VPT) birth is considered a risk factor not only for neurological impairment, but also for reduced function in several cognitive domains in childhood and later in life. Individuals who were born VPT are more likely to demonstrate …
Very preterm birth (VPT; textless 33 weeks of gestation) is associated with an increased risk of learning disability, which contributes to more VPT-born children repeating grades and underachieving in school. Learning problems associated with VPT …
