[PROJECT] PRESSBIRTH - Arginine vasopressin and ion transporters in the modulation of brain excitability during birth and birth asphyxia seizures
ID: 341116
Start date: 2014-02-01, End date: 2019-01-31
A transient period of asphyxia in the newborn is an obligatory part of normal parturition. A more prolonged disturbance in cerebral blood supply is a major cause of neonatal seizures. Current therapies of birth asphyxia seizures are ineffective and the underlying mechanisms a...
