Journal ArticleDOI

Functional neuroanatomy of the human pre-Bötzinger complex with particular reference to sudden unexplained perinatal and infant death.

TL;DR: The authors suggest that the pre‐Bötzinger complex contains a variety of neurons not only involved in respiratory rhythm generation, but more extensively, essential to the control of all vital functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adverse effects of prenatal tobacco smoke exposure on biological parameters of the developing brainstem

TL;DR: Exposure in utero to maternal smoking may strongly interfere with brain biological parameters, giving rise not only to structural developmental abnormalities of the arcuate nucleus, but also to a decrease of noradrenergic activity in the LC, of EN2 gene expression in the ArcN and of SS in the HypoglN.
Journal ArticleDOI

Perinatal and infant early atherosclerotic coronary lesions

TL;DR: Early intimal alterations of the coronary arteries are detectable in the prenatal and infancy period, and may be significantly associated with maternal smoking, as evidenced by proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive cells.

Original A rticle Functional neuroanatomy of the human pre-Bötzinger complex with particular reference to sudden unexplained perinatal and infant death

TL;DR: The pre-Botzinger complex as mentioned in this paper was found to contain a variety of neurons not only involved in respiratory rhythm generation, but also essential to the control of all vital functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Techniques and criteria in pathologic and forensic-medical diagnostics in sudden unexpected infant and perinatal death.

TL;DR: Histopathologic examination of unexpected late fetal and neonatal death and SIDS cases allowed us to identify frequent alterations, mainly congenital, of the autonomic nervous system, modulating respiratory, cardiovascular, arousal, and upper digestive activities.
