The pontine A5 noradrenergic group contributes to the maturation of the respiratory system before birth in rats. These neurons are connected to the neural network responsible for respiratory rhythmogenesis. In the present ...

Neonatal high risk children present high incidence for communication disorders and delay development of language. The present study aimed to evaluate the incidence of communication disorders and long term follow up of ...

Introduction: In previous work performed at sea level we reported that exposure to neonatal hypoxia impairs ventilatory and hematological responses to chronic hypoxia later in life. These findings supported the hypothesis ...

We investigated whether the effect of neonatal hypoxia on amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion can reproduce the ontogenic (age of onset) properties of schizophrenia. Neonatal hypoxia enhanced amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion ...

Background/Aims: Few studies address the long-term consequences of perinatal hypoxia, a frequent birth complication. Previously we described advanced reproductive senescence (premature loss of regular cyclicity) in female ...

Rationale: The effects of early ethanol exposure upon neonatal respiratory plasticity have received progressive attention given a multifactorial perspective related with sudden infant death syndrome or hypoxia-associated ...
