Preterm birth may increase odds of poor language development in childhood


Researchers found that premature infants had less developed primary and nonprimary auditory cortices at 40 weeks' gestation, compared with those born full-term. The findings in the journal eNeuro, based on MRI scans involving 105 babies, also showed that delayed nonprimary auditory cortex development among those born preterm was associated with language delays at age 2.
