## Abstract Glutamate, the main excitatory amino acid in the vertebrate brain, is critically involved in most of the physiological functions of the central nervous system. It has traditionally been assumed that glutamate triggers a wide array of signaling cascades through the activation of specific
## Abstract Neonatal hypoxicβischemic (HI) white matter injury is a major contributor to chronic neurological dysfunction. Immature oligodendrocytes (OLGs) are highly vulnerable to HI injury. As little is known about in vivo OLG repair mechanisms in neonates, we studied whether new OLGs are generat
Iron can contribute to hypoxic-ischemic brain damage by catalyzing the formation of free radicals. The immature brain has high iron levels and limited antioxidant defenses. The objective of this study was to describe the early alterations in nonheme iron histochemistry following a hypoxic-ischemic (
## Abstract Perinatal brain injury following trauma, hypoxia, and/or ischemia represents a substantial cause of pediatric disabilities including mental retardation. Such injuries lead to neuronal cell death through either necrosis or apoptosis. Numerous in vivo and in vitro studies implicate ionotr
