Neonatal intensive care units are willing to apply environmental enrichment via music for preterm newborns. However, no evidence of an effect of music on preterm brain development has been reported to date. Using resting-state fMRI, we characterized a circuitry of interest consisting of three network modules interconnected by the salience network that displays reduced network coupling in preterm compared with full-term newborns. Interestingly, preterm infants exposed to music in the neonatal intensive care units have significantly increased coupling between brain networks previously shown to be decreased in premature infants: the salience network with the superior frontal, auditory, and sensorimotor networks, and the salience network with the thalamus and precuneus networks. Therefore, music exposure leads to functional brain architectures that are more similar to those of full-term newborns, providing evidence for a beneficial effect of music on the preterm brain.

Massive Overdose

The use of theophylline preparations for treating apnea in premature infants has gained popularity in many neonatal intensive care units.1,2 Toxocity of aminophylline in premature infants is not well studied. We present a case of severe aminophylline intoxication in a premature infant secondary to a pharmacy error. We call attention to the massive overdose tolerated by this infant and relate how the error was made so that other hospitals might avoid such incidents. CASE REPORT Baby girl C.E. was a 1.2 kg 30 weeks gestation, second born twin of a 23-year-old gravida 1, para 0, abortus 0 Rh negative mother.
