Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the development of sensory-motor nerves in healthy preterm infants compared to full-term neonates.
- It involved 26 preterm infants, conducting nerve conduction studies every two weeks until they reached term age, and comparing their results with those of 10 full-term babies.
- Findings indicated that while motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities improved with gestational age in preterm infants, they were still significantly lower than in full-term infants, suggesting that external factors didn't aid in their peripheral nerve maturation.

Neonatal encephalopathy is a significant cause of infant mortality and morbidity with risk of neurological sequelae in the survivors of neonates admitted to Neonatal (N) Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The EEG and Evoked Potentials (EPs) are very informative in the ICU. In particular, it is known that the SomatoSensory (SS) EPs are the best single indicator of early prognosis in adults and children patients with traumatic and/or hypoxic-ischemic coma compared to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and CTscan.
