Abstract

The depth and volume of the primary olfactory sulcus and secondary orbital sulci in a sample of 22 adolescents with history of very-preterm birth (VPTB), compared to control subjects born at term, were measured, using MRI Anatomist/Brain VISA 3.0.1 package, and possible reductions in gray and white matter analyzed, using voxel-based morphometry (VBM), in a study at University of Barcelona, Spain.
