Description
The preterm brain is highly susceptible to injury and influence. Every interaction we have as providers can have significant influence on the long-term outcomes of this fragile population. Understanding development of the preterm brain, the pathophysiology of injury and infection, and the influence of our daily interactions will help practitioners deliver the highest quality care to the tiniest of patients.
