早產兒身體器官病變所造成的腦神經發展障礙與來自身體的發炎訊號改變了脈絡叢屏障及其調控的晝夜節律有關-早產兒脈絡叢上免疫與晝夜節律的互動關聯是一個聯結「身體與腦部」之重要集線器(2/3)

The uterus provides an environment for a fetus to maintain stable rhythms of homeostasis. These rhythms are often compromised after premature birth, leading to loss of temporal coordination of signals and nutrients ideal for development. Understanding how the rhythms come together, or what happens when the coordination is not met, is critical for improving the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) system. It is also fundamental for enhancing our knowledge of maturation and deterioration of the brain.
