Hi Harold,

I am not aware of a database for premature byby's brains. The only
available ressource I know in this context is the T2-weighted baby
template available from the website of a french group (I keep misplacing
that URL, but I am sure somebody's gotta have it).
I expect a couple of groups (Boston, San Francisco, ...) to have enough
data, and I know that Peter Boardman from the Hammersmith Hospital in
London was looking into scanning babies, but I am not sure how far along
they are (both in terms of prematurity and in terms of compiling a
database :).
Best,
Marko
