Mild hypothermia is one of the most robust neuroprotectant studied in the laboratory to date.
The reasons for this protective effect are likely multifactorial, but work from our laboratory …

Ammonia exposure can be considered more stressful for aquatic animals when it coincides
with high temperature. This study was conducted to detect the effects of ammonia exposure …

Perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), a subset of neonatal encephalopathy, is
