Decreased right temporal activation and increased interhemispheric connectivity in response to speech in preterm infants at term-equivalent age

Preterm infants are at increased risk of language-related problems later in life; however, few studies have examined the effects of preterm birth on cerebral responses to speech at very early developmental stages. This study examined cerebral activation and functional connectivity in response to inf...
