: Some study subjects or cohorts have been previously reported in the following:Paper 1: “Hippocampal asymmetry of regional development and structural covariance in preterm neonates,” and Paper 2: “Disruption and compensation of sulcation-based covariance networks in neonatal brain growth after perinatal injury.”The topic of Paper 1 is how preterm birth may exert an impact on hippocampal development in neonates, while Paper 2 is about how brain injury in preterm birth may alter the topological organization of brain structural network in neonates. Our current study, however, focuses on brain age prediction in neonates, which is a completely different research topic compared to the previously published work.The manuscript has a pre-print
