- Description
The production of new neurons in the after birth brain ?neurogenesis- relies on stem and progenitor cells which have the capacity of self-renovation and at the same time, transformation into any neuronal cell type. During pregnancy, neurogenesis in the future newborn is highly active in the so-called germinal matrix, a structure flooded by blood vessels located near the brain ventricles. Preterm infants are vulnerable to bleedings in this matrix, which may cause progenitor cells to drain into the fluid filling the ventricles, the cerebrospinal fluid. These bleedings are called intraventricular haemorrhage, and one of the possible negative outcomes is the excess accumulation of fluid in the ventricles, causing head growth and hydrocephalus.
