|
Research Description: Hypoxia, defined as an insufficient oxygenation of tissue, can have serious, detrimental effects on central nervous system (CNS) development in humans. One prominent example of a human disorder that can result from developmental hypoxic injury is cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is a chronic disorder that occurs in the perinatal period and causes life-long symptoms including motor impairment, seizures, and cognitive deficits.
