text: Using three-dimensional brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Lepore and colleagues analyzed the structure and neural circuitry of two specific areas of the brain in 17 preterm and 19 term-born babies: the thalamus – the brain’s relay station, critical to sending and receiving sensory information – and the putamen, part of an intricate circuit connecting to the brain’s frontal lobe and involved in a number of different processes, most notably regulation of movement and learning.
