Preterm birth and neonatal white matter microstructure in in-vivo reconstructed fiber tracts among audiovisual integration brain regions.

"scripts used to perform the neuroimaging and statistical analysis described in the method sections will be made publicly available at osf (https://osf io/24hcb/) 3 3 1 panel a of fig 2 depicts the reconstructed fiber bundles in the ft and pt groups of neonates."

"in brief we applied the publicly accessible shell scripts (see https://github com/ecr05/dhcp_template_alignment) and performed a rigid registration between the neonates' anatomical scan and the 40-week anatomical template provided by the dhcp on the mirtk software (https://mirtk github io/index html)."
