The relationship between nucleated red blood cell counts and early-onset seizures

Article Abstract:

A newborn baby who has a seizure shortly after birth may have developed brain damage two or three days before birth, not during delivery. This was demonstrated in a study of 30 such babies, who had elevated blood levels of nucleated red blood cells. This takes two or three days to happen after blood oxygen levels drop.

Prolonged in utero meconium exposure impairs spatial learning in the adult rat

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted using an animal model, to test the effects of prolonged in utero meconium exposure on the latter adult learning and memory, as measured by the Morris water maze. The findings of this animal suggest that prolonged in utero meconium exposure during late fetal life is associated with a delay in spatial learning in adult animals.
