Predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes from neonatal cortical microstructure: A conceptual replication study by Andrea Gondová, Sara Neumane, Yann Leprince, Jean-François Mangin, Tomoki Arichi, Jessica Dubois

“…Our findings suggest that the cortical microstructure close to birth described by DTI-FA measures might not be sufficient for a reliable prediction of BSID-III scores during toddlerhood, at least in the current setting, i.e. generally older cohorts and a different processing pipeline. Our inability to conceptually replicate the results of the original study is in line with the previously reported replicability issues within the machine learning field and demonstrates the challenges in defining the good set of practices for the implementation and validation of reliable predictive tools in the neurodevelopmental (and other) fields.…”
