## Abstract The NMDA‐type glutamate receptor is a predominant mediator of excitotoxicity in the immature brain due to overexpression of the receptor in the developing brain. Within the development period however, the extent of NMDA receptor mediated processes including hypoxia‐induced excitotoxicit

Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury in the perinatal period is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Presently, there are no proven effective therapies with which to safeguard the human neonatal brain against this type of injury. Minocycline, a semisynthetic tetracycline, has been shown to be neuropro
## Abstract Neonatal hypoxic‐ischemic (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
