Increased claustrum volume and aberrant microstructure in preterm-born neonates

Year: 2024

Type: dissertation

Abstract: Hypothesizing that the claustrum is at risk after preterm birth, we analyzed 558 neonatal T2 and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images of the developing Human Connectome Project. Automated claustrum segmentation was established by deep learning with transfer learning. In preterm-born neonates, the claustrum volume was increased, and the claustrum microstructure and microstructural covariance with other brain regions were impaired, suggesting an altered development following preterm birth.
