- Higher neonatal protein intake in very preterm children associated with thinner lateral occipital and parietal cortices at 7 years.
- Study assessed brain structure in children born prior to 30 weeks' gestation or with a birth weight under 1,500 g.
- Neonatal protein intake linked to differences in cortical thickness and white matter microstructure.
- Potential neurodevelopmental implications of increased neonatal protein intake.
