Abstract

âº At term equivalent, preterm infants' hippocampi are less infolded than term infants. âº Preterm hippocampi are less curved toward midline and less arched superior-inferiorly. âº Straighter hippocampi are associated with white matter injury and postnatal steroids. âº Infant hippocampal shape is not related to 7 year memory. âº Larger infant hippocampal volume is associated with better verbal memory at 7.
