Abstract:
Neonatal brain damage, including the damage in the fetal period, is caused by many factors such as hypoxia, infection, trauma, intoxication and metabolic disorders. According to epidemiological studies, perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage shows the highest incidence, and needs a new strategy for its prevention and treatment. This symposium is focused on the recent advances of basic research and technological science in the pathogenesis, neuroimagings, near-infrared spectroscopy, developmental neurophysiology, and intervention in perinatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage, taking into consideration on the long term prognosis in each section.
