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. https://t.co/en4UqncVpd

I'm excited to present our work using the brain age approach to study brain maturation at @ABPS2022 today (11.30 am, stream 4)!

[Courtney Gilchrist @CourtGilx]

PhD submitted! Such a privilege to work under an incredible team in @DeanneThompson @mtolcos @DrALCumberland @PeterAn42416669 🙏🏻 Many thanks to the VIBeS team at @MCRI_for_kids, @CREnewborn, and @NeurodevHD for their support throughout.

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: https://t.co/DIEAEZ3Hxo

[Claire Kelly @Claire_E_Kelly]

Our paper "Investigating brain structural maturation in children and adolescents born very preterm using the brain age framework" is now out in @NeuroImage_EiC https://t.co/7CzuTBagn5

New pre-print alert! In this paper, we benchmark different geometric deep learning frameworks as potential tools for registration-independent cortical analysis. A mammoth effort led by Abdulah with @lzjwilliams @amiralansary @lombaert and others https://t.co/JrN0KyhpUl 1/n

I'm really excited to be joining the @ISMRM_ANZ Committee as the Division Representative for Victoria and to have the opportunity to work with this fantastic team. Looking forward to future events!

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.

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

[nature @Nature]

Babies born before 28 weeks of gestation are surviving into adulthood at higher rates than ever, and scientists are checking in on their health. https://t.co/j2Cwhzt5IZ

[Sila Genc @drsilagenc]

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: https://t.co/wcbdsG7ZU3

New neonatal parcellation suite. Extracts cortical surfaces using dHCP tools, then parcellates the cortex into Desikan-Killiany-(Tourville) compatible regions.

Our M-CRIB-WM neonatal parcellated white matter atlas has just been published: https://t.co/fGmkoTCGeG, and the ten individual parcellated datasets are publicly available here: https://t.co/bVSJJ5ngJJ

[Bonnie Alexander @BonnieAlexandr]

This atlas contains 54 manually parcellated white matter regions, & is also downloadable combined with the M-CRIB 2.0 whole-brain atlas. Huge thanks to Sarah Yao and everyone involved @claireekelly_ @garedaba @L1L_BRAIN @ParkvilleGeek @ProfLexDoyle @AliciaSpittle @DeanneThompson
