Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Many extremely preterm infants (EPIs) subsequently develop cognitive impairment of unknown etiology. We observed fewer neural progenitors and larger numbers of ectopic neurons in the white matter (WM) of human EPI brains and hypothesized that EPIs develop cognitive dysfunction because of altered neuronal generation and migration. To test our hypothesis we produced ischemic brain damage in mouse embryos by occluding maternal uterine arteries. The mice showed decreased proliferation of neuronal progenitors, delayed neuronal migration, and altered neocortical structures. Similar to human EPIs the surviving mice exhibited abnormal cognitive function. These findings supported our hypothesis that altered neuronal generation and migration underlies the serious risk of subsequent cognitive impairment of EPIs.
