I am grateful for the letter from Amiel-Tison et al, which highlights the importance of functional correlates to neurologic investigations, including our volumetric MRI techniques, in understanding the pathway to neurodevelopmental disability in the preterm infant. We have always considered this to be essential in our research and wish to reassure the authors of this letter that we have gathered the following: extensive perinatal and neonatal information including maternal and infant factors; neurobehavioral assessments including the NICU Network Neurobehavioral Scale1 and the Revised Hammersmith Neonatal Neurologic Examination2 at term equivalent; surveys of development and behavior at 1 year of age; and an extensive evaluation including the Bayley II Scales of Infant Development, pediatric neurologic examination, parent-infant interactional scales, behavioral checklist, and executive functioning tasks at 2 years of age. We also recently enhanced our image-analysis techniques to define regional cerebral development across 16 regions, which improves our ability to carry out
