Very preterm infants who survive are at high risk of white matter injury (WMI). With a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of WMI, the gut microbiota has recently drawn increasing attention in this field. This review tries to clarify the possible mechanisms behind the communication of the gut bacteria and the immature brain
