Encephalopathy of Prematurity Includes Neuronal Abnormalities

Volpe expresses his opinions on several studies on encephalopathy of premature infants. Among other things, he stresses that based from the findings, neuronal-axonal disturbance could underlie the most common type of neurologic sequelae in premature infants with abnormalities of cognition, attention...
