Kelly et al. compare cortical developmental trajectories in children born at term versus very preterm, and show that the impact of very preterm birth on cortical growth is amplified from infancy to adolescence. tinyurl.com/262mxyxx

Our recent work investigates the microstructural and free-water composition of the white matter and cortical grey matter in children born very preterm and at term. It is now available in @NeuroImage_EiC: doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage…

Here is a sneak peak of our NEW Short Cut Video for families on BPD featuring @drbretty This is the first in a series of videos @CREnewborn is producing, addressing topics of interest as identified by our Consumer Advisory Group. Full length video here: bit.ly/2FKvFoh
NEWS: More babies are being given a fighting chance says Professor Jeanie Cheong The lead researcher released a study today in @BMJ_Open showing survival rates of extremely premature babies has gone up nearly 20% since the 90s. Read more: thewomens.org.au/news/more-b…

How to revise: As an editor and author I have seen many revised papers return to journals. Given effort, most go well (ie step toward acceptance). Some go pear-shaped. I’ve slowly improved and have an approach known by my group as the ‘Breakspear method”. Here is its essence

Latest pre-print led by @claireekelly_ - "Long-term development of white matter fiber density and morphology up to 13 years after preterm birth". A truly impressive effort characterising white matter development 13 years following pre-term birth. Link: tinyurl.com/t2tbxad
