Ferrante Featured in Neurology Today Article on White Matter Development in Preterm Infants

Assistant neurology professor and neonatal neurologist Leah Ferrante, MD, was a featured expert commentator in a Neurology Today article entitled “Skin-to-Skin Care May Impact White Matter Development in Preterm Infants.” The article reported on a recent Neurology publication whose authors found an association between skin-to-skin care and neonatal white matter microstructure in frontolimbic tracts involved in socioemotional development and stress regulation. Ferrante told Neurology Today that the findings affirm what she and other clinicians see in the NICU and in long-term outcomes.
