Abstract

In recent decades, there has been a distinct increase in the number of deeply and extremely preterm children without structural organic lesions of the nervous system. A comprehensive study and clinical observations of these children reveal their differences from full-term peers, becoming the most obvious by the beginning of schooling. In this article, we consider the cognitive, behavioral, and socializing features of these children, paying attention to key biosocial factors of their development, such as the long-term influence of the early neonatal period on the formation of brain structures and connections and the «resetting» of the neurohumoral system, the role of genomic polymorphism, the special importance of a favorable environment for the emotional well-being and success of these children among their peers. Knowledge and understanding of extremely preterm infants’ specific development, typical risks of behavioral disorders and social disfavor is of great practical importance for prolonged interdisciplinary follow-up — in the form of appropriate medical, educational, and psychological programs.
