[S9] Symposium 9
Supporting foetal and neonatal development beyond neuroprotection

Fri. Jun 16, 2017 10:10 AM - 12:10 PM Room No.5 (10F Conference Room 1008)

Chair:Osuke Iwata(Department of Pediatrics and Child Health, Kurume University School of Medicine), Hidenobu Ohta(Department of Psychiatry, Asai hospital, Togane, Chiba, Japan)

[Aim]
Brain injury of prematurity affects a wide range of preterm infants even without major destructive cerebral injury. Since this condition is associated with long term cognitive outcomes, studies are underway to investigate relationships between this clinical condition and environmental and nutritional factors. In this symposium, four outstanding researchers are going to present their latest findings, which dramatically changed the understanding on the dependence of cerebral growth and functional maturation on environmental variables. An active discussion follows regarding how to provide evidence-based cares to promote optimal development of preterm infants beyond the brain tissue protection.
