NO-dependent protective effect of VEGF against excitotoxicity on layer VI of the developing cerebral cortex
In industrialized countries, cerebral palsy affects 2.5‰ of preterm and term infants. At a neurochemical level, the massive release of glutamate constitutes a major process leading to excitotoxicity and neonatal brain lesions. Previous studies, conducted in the laboratory, revealed that, in δ/δVEGFA...
