TL;DR
Male sex and low birth weight were significant predictors of DCD, suggesting that these infants should be followed for detection of this common, but under-recognised disorder.
Abstract
Male sex and low birth weight were significant predictors of DCD, suggesting that these infants should be followed for detection of this common, but under-recognised disorder. Future research aimed at identifying neural underpinnings of DCD and possible antecedents to the disorder is warranted.

The data suggest that the growth of the immature cerebellum is particularly rapid during late gestation, however, this accelerated growth seems to be impeded by premature birth and associated brain injury.

237 Citations2010Jill G. Zwicker, Cheryl Missiuna +2 more
Functional magnetic resonance imaging data suggest a neurobiological correlation with impaired learning of motor skills in children with DCD, which will need to be confirmed with a larger sample, and under‐activation in cerebellar–parietal and cerebellAR–prefrontal networks and in brain regions associated with visual‐spatial learning.

ELBW/very preterm children with DCD had worse cognitive function and academic test scores (up to 1SD below those without DCD); they also had more adaptive behaviour and externalizing problems, but not internalizing problems.

Results suggest that DCD could be characterized by abnormal brain hemispheric specialization during development and connectivity in the MFC-ACC-IPC network could indicate that children with DCD are less able than healthy children to easily and/or promptly switch between go and nogo motor responses.

The comparison of the activation maps showed that the brain activity in the left posterior parietal cortex and left postcentral gyrus was lower in the DCD children than in the control children, suggesting that the dysfunction of these regions may be the neural underpinnings of impaired motor skill in DCDChildren.

Infants born at or before 33 weeks gestation require a higher sodium intake in the first two weeks of postnatal life than thoseBorn at or near term, and failure to provide such an intake (4–5 mmol/day) may predispose to poor neurodevelopmental outcome in the second decade of life.
