“…It is apparent that the neurodevelopmental consequences of premature birth affect the development of cognitive functions and academic abilities, although the bulk of research evidence is not consistent. The IQs of the VLBW/ELBW preterm children as a group were found to fall into the average (Grunewaldt et al, 2013;Nagy et al, 2021) or low-average zone (StÅlnacke et al, 2019). However, according to a recent meta-analysis reviewing 71 studies, the IQ's of the very preterm children significantly lagged behind those of term comparison groups (Twilhaar et al, 2018).…”

The substantial inter-individual variations within the performances as well as the variety of developmental trends of the executive functions (Costa et al, 2017) among the preterm children underline the issue of prediction, the prerequisite of which is to reveal the factors explaining these variances.…”

“…Research evidence suggests that the most powerful covariates for the preterms' development are gestational age (Mulder et al, 2009;O'Meagher et al, 2017;Stålnacke et al, 2019;Nagy, 2019;Nagy et al, 2021) and birthweight (Ford et al, 2011;Twilhaar et al, 2018). Perinatal complications, disturbed maturation, and injuries to the CNS have untoward effects on cognitive development, including executive functions (Arhan et al, 2017;Loe et al, 2018;Iwata et al, 2012;Nagy, 2019;Nagy et al, 2021). Gender also seems to have a role: within the groups of EP/ELBW and VP/VLBW, female preterms performed better on IQ tests and EF tasks than their male counterparts (Aarnoudse- Moens et al, 2012;Baron et al, 2009;O'Meagher et al, 2017;Nagy, 2019;Nagy et al, 2021).…”

The increasing rate of survival of preterm newborns raises many questions given that preterm and low-birthweight children are at risk for impaired development of various cognitive abilities. The purpose of this article is to summarise the research evidence concerning the outcomes of language and executive function development in this risk group. The authors will discuss what influences neonatal factors and early neurological injuries have on the late outcomes of these high-risk children from the perspective of potential protective factors and intervention.

Neonatal administration of erythropoietin attenuates cognitive deficits in adult rats following placental insufficiency

Preterm birth is a principal cause of neurological disability later in life, including cognitive and behavioral deficits. Notably, cognitive impairment has greater impact on quality of life than physical disability. Survivors of preterm birth commonly have deficits of executive function. Difficulties with tasks and planning complexity correlate positively with increasing disability. To overcome these barriers for children born preterm, preclinical and clinical studies have emphasized the importance of neurorestoration. Erythropoietin (EPO) is a endogenous cytokine with multiple beneficial mechanisms of action following perinatal brain injury. While most preclinical investigations have focused on pathology and molecular mechanisms, translational studies of repair using clinically viable biobehavioral biomarkers are still lacking. Here, using an established model of encephalopathy of prematurity secondary to placental insufficiency, we tested the hypothesis that administration of EPO in the neonatal period would attenuate deficits in recognition memory and cognitive flexibility in adult rats of both sexes. We assessed cognition and executive function in two ways. First, using the classic test of novel object recognition and second, using a touchscreen platform. Touchscreen testing allows for rigorous testing of cognition and executive function in preclinical and clinical scenarios. Data show that adult rats exhibit deficits in recognition memory and cognitive flexibility following in utero placental insufficiency. Notably, neonatal treatment of EPO attenuates these deficits in adulthood and facilitates functional repair. Together, these data validate EPO neurorestoration using a clinically relevant outcome measure and support the concept that postnatal treatment following in utero injury can improve cognition and executive function through adulthood.
