      Rimol, Lars Morten; Rise, Henning Hoel; Evensen, Kari Anne Indredavik; Yendiki, Anastasia; Løhaugen, Gro; Indredavik, Marit Sæbø; Brubakk, Ann-Mari; Bjuland, Knut Jørgen; Eikenes, Live; Weider, Siri; Håberg, Asta; Skranes, Jon Sverre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Preterm birth with very low birth weight (VLBW) confers heightened risk for perinatal brain injury and long-term cognitive deficits, including a reduction in IQ of up to one standard deviation. Persisting gray and white ...
    • Limited microstructural and connectivity deficits despite subcortical volume reductions in school-aged children born preterm with very low birth weight. 

      Sølsnes, Anne Elisabeth; Sripada, Kam; Yendiki, Anastasia; Bjuland, Knut Jørgen; Østgård, Heidi Furre; Aanes, Synne; Grunewaldt, Kristine Hermansen; Løhaugen, Gro; Eikenes, Live; Håberg, Asta; Rimol, Lars Morten; Skranes, Jon Sverre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Preterm birth and very low birth weight (VLBW, ≤ 1500 g) are worldwide problems that burden survivors with lifelong cognitive, psychological, and physical challenges. In this multimodal structural magnetic resonance imaging ...
    • Reduced white matter fractional anisotropy mediates cortical thickening in adults born preterm with very low birthweight. 

      Rimol, Lars Morten; Botellero, Violeta NL; Bjuland, Knut Jørgen; Løhaugen, Gro; Lydersen, Stian; Evensen, Kari Anne Indredavik; Brubakk, Ann-Mari; Eikenes, Live; Indredavik, Marit Sæbø; Martinussen, Marit; Yendiki, Anastasia; Håberg, Asta; Skranes, Jon Sverre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Development of the cerebral cortex may be affected by aberrant white matter development. Preterm birth with very low birth weight (VLBW) has been associated with reduced fractional anisotropy of white matter and changes ...
