Cerebellar peduncle injury predicts motor impairments in preterm infants: A quantitative tractography study at term-equivalent age

Purpose Cerebellar injury is well established as an important finding in preterm infants with cerebral palsy (CP). In this study, we investigated associations between injury to the cerebellar peduncles and motor impairments in preterm infants using quantitative tractography at term-equivalent age, which represents an early phase before the onset of motor impairments. Methods We studied 64 preterm infants who were born at <33 weeks gestational...
