Can early developmental programs really change the long-term outcomes for babies born too soon?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Early intervention can make a meaningful difference in how preterm infants grow, learn, and connect. These programs target the developing brain during a critical window, supporting motor, cognitive, and emotional skills that lay the foundation for future learning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The earlier we start, the more we can strengthen the brain’s pathways for growth, adaptability, and resilience 🩵

One of the best parts of neuropsychology is seeing how each brain works in its own unique way 🧠

Welcome to Prematurity Awareness Month 💜
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Preterm birth can shape the brain in powerful ways, changing its structure, its connections, and even the way it “solves problems.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But there’s hope: early interventions and supportive environments can make a lasting difference!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When we think of the hippocampus, we often think memory machine. But this tiny, seahorse-shaped structure does more than just help you form new memories 🧠✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It also helps you navigate your environment (like remembering where you parked your car) and plays a role in emotional regulation through its deep connections with the amygdala and prefrontal cortex.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, the hippocampus isn’t just your memory center — it’s also part of the reason you can find your way home and process how you feel along the journey!
