Alterations of thalamic structures may cause disruptions in thalamic-cortical-thalamic circuitry and affect cognition. In this work we present a local shape analysis of the thalamus in extremely preterm born young adults when compared to their term born peers. We perform a groupwise shape analysis after spectral matching registration. After correcting for gender and thalamic volume, it resulted that the anterior and superior thalamic regions, connected to regions responsible for executive function, working memory, language and verbal memory, show most shape variations.
