Perinatal Asphyxia and Brain Development: Mitochondrial Damage Without Anatomical or Cellular Losses.

Perinatal asphyxia remains a significant cause of neonatal mortality and is associated with long-term neurodegenerative disorders. In the present study, we evaluated cellular and subcellular damages to brain development in a model of mild perinatal asphyxia. Survival rate in the experimental group was 67%.
