| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, it was shown that fetal growth restriction (FGR) is high risk for learning and/or behavioral problems, such as impaired motor coordination, learning disability, depression, and/or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Impaired vascular perfusion in fetal period, which is one of the etiology of FGR, can cause to white matter injury.
In this project, we developed two FGR models with impaired vascular perfusion in fetal period, and evaluated them histologically and behaviorally.
