Abstract The profound programming effects of early life stress (ELS) on brain and behavior are thought to be primarily mediated by adrenal glucocorticoids (GCs). However, in mice, stressors are often administered between postnatal days 2 and 12 (PND2-12), during the...

Abstract Background: Prolonged exposure to general anesthesia (GA) results in long-lasting cognitive impairment, especially during critical stages of brain development. An exaggerated neuroinflammation induced by anesthesia is generally considered to be a key cause of...

Abstract Sevoflurane anesthesia induces neurocognitive impairment and pyroptosis in the developing brain. Pleckstrin homology-like domain, family A, member 1 (PHLDA1) was involved in neuronal apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammation during ischemic stroke. The...

Abstract Background: In neonatal mice, anesthesia with sevoflurane depolarizes the GABA Type A receptor (GABAAR), which leads to cognitive impairment. Calcium accumulation in neurons can lead to neurotoxicity. Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) can increase...

Abstract Background: General anesthesia (GA) in pediatric patients represents a clinical routine. Factors such as increased birth age and maternal chronic conditions cause more infants to experience hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, an additional risk for anesthesia....
