Preclinical data demonstrate that gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) interneurons initiate connectivity in the developing brain. The goal of this study was to compare GABA concentration and its relationship to functional connectivity in the brains of term and preterm infants at term equivalent age. Infants received both MRS and fMRI scans at term equivalent age. Whole brain functional connectivity MRI data using intrinsic connectivity distribution (ICD) maps were compared to identify areas with differences in resting state functional connectivity between the preterm and term control groups. MR spectroscopy measured concentrations of GABA, glutamate, N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA) and choline, and NAA/choline was calculated for comparison between the two groups. Preterm infants had lower right frontal GABA and glutamate concentrations than term controls and showed a significantly different relationship between connectivity and GABA concentration in the right frontal lobe. Preterm infants had a positive correlation between GABA concentration and connectivity, while term controls demonstrated a negative correlation between these two developmentally-regulated parameters. These results suggest that regional GABA concentrations are associated with normal and altered neonatal resting state connectivity.
