Two translational studies—one in humans and one in sheep—suggest that (i) premature
birth is associated with delayed maturation of grey matter in the cerebral cortex and (ii)
medical care that prohibits impairment of growth in premature neonates may enhance
cortical development and reduce neurological disabilities associated with preterm birth.
