Today's #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek spotlight is on the BIPP Study Preterm Research , which looks at the brain development of children born prematurely, developing strategies to prevent mental health problems from arising.

Functional connectivity changes in adults born very preterm could represent both risk and protective factors to behavioural problems

Are maternal depressive symptoms associated with the rate of fetal growth in the critical rapid growth stage before delivery?

New research emphasizes the importance of early screening and intervention for mental disorders in pregnancy. Find out more here doi.org/10.1001/jamane…

On 23 and 24 November, Università deli Studi di Milano is hosting the closing congress of Ricerca Finalizzata REal Matters In Developmental psychopathology (REMIND) discussing what matters in the developmental trajectories of psychopathology.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay - we hope our research on prematurity will bring us closer to understanding, predicting and preventing mental health problems. Thank you to all our followers. Please take a moment to check in with yourself and breathe. You're doing better than you think ♥️

Why is involving #youngpeople in #mentalhealth research so important?🧠🔬

You can follow up on the amazing research about #braindevelopment 🧠 in relation to #mentalhealthproblems in premature children being conducted by Prof Chiara Nosarati Preterm Research here 👉 bippstudy.com #IoPPNfestival

This research highlights the importance of using early imaging to better predict toddler outcomes in order to support their development and can help us to develop #interventions to protect #mentalhealth at an early stage #IoPPNfestival

🥼Prof Chiara Nosarati’s has identified structural brain alterations during the #neonatalperiod which are linked to behavioural problems in childhood. #IoPPNfestival

Very preterm is associated with an increased likelihood of experiencing #mentalhealth problems throughout the lifespan. #IoPPNfestival

⏰We will now be hearing from Prof Chiara Nosarati Preterm Research who is going to talk to us about identifying early biomarkers of #behaviouraloutcomes following very #pretermbirth #IoPPNfestival

Our latest paper on longitudinal brain development in preterm neonates is now out! 🧠

We show early structural and functional brain development is related to psychomotor and psychopathology outcomes in toddlerhood.

Our latest paper shows that combinations of brain, environmental and behavioural features distinguish subgroups of very preterm children nature.com/articles/s4139…

we are offering CO4-031 Identifying trajectories of psychiatric risk and resilience during development (THRIVE)

Excited to advertise a PhD Studentship opportunity at our research group at King’s College London in collaboration with A*STAR Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences.

It’s #PrematurityDay ! 💜

Preterm birth increases one’s chances of experiencing developmental and behavioural difficulties.

Our team works tirelessly to help advance available research and knowledge on these issues.

Thanks to all participant families who make our work possible!

Subgroups of children born very preterm screening positively and negatively for autism exhibit distinct neurodevelopmental trajectories characterised by differences in cerebellar volumes in infancy and developmental profiles in toddlerhood.
