Led by Dr Paola Galdi, in collaboration with @emrobSci with sig. contributions from many others. Made possible by open, shareable neonatal MRI data.

[James P Boardman @JamesPBoardman]

The observations replicated across two independent datasets and were robust to differences that remain in the data after matching samples and alignment of processing and quality control strategies ➡️useful insights for multisite analyses.

VBI provides a granular description of regional homogeneities & sharp variations in cortical properties

Compared with term-born controls, preterm infants have a homogeneous microstructure in temporal & occipital lobes, & the medial parietal, cingulate, & frontal cortices

...neural density index and orientation dispersion index.

The VBI measures the extent of discontinuity in cortical intra-areal relationships, summarising in a single metric the information contained in a feature similarity gradient
