[Abstract] With the rapid development of NICU, the survival rate of premature and very low birth weight infants has increased significantly. However, these preterm survivors are at risk of neurodevelopmental impairments such as cognitive and behavioral abnormalities, poor attention and social skills, learning disorder, even cerebral palsy (CP). Due to advances in functional magnetic resonance imaging (e.g. DWI, DTI, DKI, MRS, SWI, ASL) in recent years, it is feasible to investigate preterm brain injury through observation of brain microstructure, metabolism and hemodynamic. So we review the application and progress of multimodality fMRI in preterm brain injury.
