Hum Brain Mapp 12:232-45. 2001..Future studies will determine whether these novel measures are more closely related to neurobiologically important features of the corpus than are conventional measures of callosum size and shape...
Regional brain volume abnormalities and long-term cognitive outcome in preterm infantsB S Peterson
Yale Child Study Center, 230 S Frontage Rd, New Haven, CT 06520, USA
JAMA 284:1939-47. 2000..However, it is not known whether the stresses associated with premature birth disrupt regionally specific brain maturation or whether abnormalities in brain structure contribute to cognitive deficits...

Yale Child Study Center, New Haven, Conn 06520, USA
Arch Gen Psychiatry 57:364-72. 2000..It is also unknown whether streptococcal infection is associated in vivo with anatomical alterations of the brain structures that have been implicated in the pathophysiology of these disorders...
A double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of an antiandrogen in the treatment of Tourette's syndromeB S Peterson
