Late preterm birth, defined as delivery at 34–36 weeks of gestation, occurs during a period of rapid brain development. During this window, white matter expands substantially. Synapse formation, dendritic growth, cortical folding, and brain surface expansion also continue. The study highlights that these developmental processes are ongoing at the time of late preterm delivery.
