Corpus Callosum Abnormalities at Term-Equivalent Age Are Associated with Language Development at 2 Years’ Corrected Age in Infants Born Very Preterm

ABSTRACT

We studied the effect of microstructural abnormalities in the corpus callosum on language development in 348 infants born very prematurely. We discovered that the fractional anisotropy of the corpus callosum anterior midbody was a significant predictor of standardized language scores at 2 years, independent of clinical and social risk factors.
