Neurotoxicity of Anesthetics in the Developing Brain – A Translational Update
Ansgar Brambrink, MD, PhD
Key Summary Points
Neurotoxicity of Anesthetics in the Developing Brain
- The major excitatory neurotransmitter, glutamate, and the major inhibitory neurotransmitter, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), are generally associated with neuronal communication in the adult brain.
- In the developing brain, these transmitters play a central role in brain morphogenesis, including synapse formation, proliferation, migration, differentiation and survival of neurons.
