A spatio-temporal delay in maturation and reorganization of transient fetal compartements, such as subplate zone, Von Monakow segments of white matter, crossroad areas and migrating cell bands, seems to be linked to abnormal brain growth and radial vulnerability(Kostovic et al. 2014) in preterm born infants (PT).
