Inflammation processes in perinatal brain damage

Vincent Degos et al. J Neural Transm (Vienna). 2010 Aug.

Abstract

Once viewed as an isolated, immune-privileged organ, the central nervous system has undergone a conceptual change. Neuroinflammation has moved into the focus of research work regarding pathomechanisms underlying perinatal brain damage. In this review, we provide an overview of current concepts regarding perinatal brain damage and the role of inflammation in the disease pathomechanism.
