Perinatal conditions, such as prematurity and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), altering normal brain development can have consequences in short- and long-term brain structure and function. Changes in brain connectivity associated to IUGR have been already described by connectomics. In this work, we use connectomics to analyse how brain network organization at 1-, 6- and 10-year-old children with and without IUGR correlates with their performance in neuropsychological tests. Results show a higher risk of social cognitive disorders, related to hyperactivity and altered executive function, in IUGR children, and a strong correlation between brain network metrics and neurodevelopmental evaluation.
