Mechanisms of developmental brain injuries

This special issue of „Developmental Neuroscience“ follows the 11th Hershey Conference on Developmental Brain Injury with the topic "From 'Metabolomic' to Translation – Molecular Insights That Inform Therapies". Several papers are included that report on the diverse mechanisms that contribute to developmental brain injuries, including ferroptosis, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi stress, inflammation, and oxidative stress. Other studies have either defined or refined the animal models used to study developmental brain injuries. New developments in identifying biomarkers for brain injury as well as progress in testing neuroprotective therapies are also included. This special issue will be of interest to both clinicians and scientists who are interested in the developing nervous system, its vulnerability to injury, and the short- and long-term consequences for neurologic development.
