White-Matter Connectivity and General Movements in Infants with Perinatal Brain Injury
These findings support and expand upon previous research suggesting that white matter integrity across multiple brain regions plays a role in the formation of general movements. Corticospinal integrity alone was not strongly associated with general movements; interhemispheric and cortical-subcortical connectivity appear critical. These findings underscore the need for further research in larger, diverse populations to refine early biomarkers of neurodevelopmental impairment and guide targeted interventions.
