Electroencephalography and brain injury in preterm infants

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a sensitive method for detection of brain injury in preterm infants. Although the acute and chronic EEG changes are mainly non-specific regarding type of injury, they correlate with later neurological and cognitive function. In infants developing periventricular hemorrhagic or ischemic brain injury, acute EEG findings include depression of background activity and...

Microglia toxicity in preterm brain injury

Microglia are the resident phagocytic cells of the central nervous system. During brain development they are also imperative for apoptosis of excessive neurons, synaptic pruning, phagocytosis of debris and maintaining brain homeostasis. Brain damage results in a fast and dynamic microglia reaction, which can influence the extent and distribution of subsequent neuronal dysfunction. As a conseque...
