Altered glutamatergic metabolism associated with punctate white matter lesions in preterm infants.

Altered glutamatergic metabolism associated with punctate white matter lesions in preterm infants.

Preterm infants (∼10% of all births) are at high-risk for long-term neurodevelopmental disabilities, most often resulting from white matter injury sustained during the neonatal period. Glutamate excitotoxicity is hypothesized to be a key mechanism in the pathogenesis of white matter injury; however,...
