Premature babies are one of the most important health problems worldwide. People began to be interested in the prospects for further neuropsychic development (NDP) of prematurely born children even when their nursing and treatment were associated with great difficulties. It is known that the bulk (up to 80%) of neurological diseases develop in the ante- and perinatal periods of life. Among the main causes of brain damage that may already exist in a child by the time of his birth, the following are distinguished: congenital and hereditary diseases, hypoxic-ischemic damage, intrauterine infections [2].
