Abstract

Premature infants are at especially high risk for asphyxia, seizures, and other conditions that cause hypoxia-ischemia. These events result in abnormal brain pathology and behavioral deficits that persist throughout adolescence and into adulthood. Current rodent models of human infant hypoxic-ischemic brain damage have focused on exogenous glutamate receptor agonist exposure in the postnatal day 7 rat. While this model is considered analogous to the newborn human, no adequate models for preterm infant brain damage have been developed. Recent work from our lab has proposed a potential model for preterm infant brain damage in which neonatal rats are treated with exogenous muscimol, the selective gamma-aminobutyric acid(A) (GABA(A)) receptor agonist, on postnatal days 0 and 1. In the companion paper to this one (Exp. Neurol., in press), we report fewer neurons in the hippocampal formation on postnatal day 7 (6 days after treatment), but the persistence of these anatomical deficits, and potential resultant behavioral dysfunctions, were not investigated. In the current experiment, we documented that muscimol exposure on postnatal days 0 and 1 leads to fewer neurons in the male and female rat hippocampus (CA1, CA2/3, and dentate gyru...Continue Reading
