Behavioral Dysfunctions After Preterm Birth: The Role of Vasopressin

This project aims to explore the role of arginine vasopressin (AVP) in cognitive and anxiety-like behavior dysfunctions observed in preterm birth models. Using a neonatal hyperoxia rat model, which mimics bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and associated complications of preterm birth, the study will assess behavioral outcomes and AVP levels in different experimental conditions. The findings are […]
