Koimbra University study children’s brain development
Researchers are expected to understand the phenomenon that affects the brain in the first 28 days of life, and it can “treat brain pathologies in future, newborns.”

A. Koimbra University (UC) It has received 250,000 euros financing to develop a study over the next three years to investigate the newborn brain development, which are the central nervous system cells.
“The project is aimed at the construction of the blood vessel brain network and the role of Microglia – the role of the central nervous system cells needed for the protection of brain immune system in the organization,” said UC Lusa.
With the results of this study, the name of the “Microglia-endothelium interaction” in the construction of the cerebrovascular system, is expected to be more understandable F.Cakes It affects the brain in the first 28 days of life.
Vanessa Koelho-Santos, the Biomedical Image Center and the Institute of Nuclear Sciences are applied from the translation of the Nuclear Sciences to the UC, “In the transformation of the intertraturin world to the outside world, the neonatal brain experiences serious adaptation, especially the effects of life.”
According to a researcher dedicated to the Neonatal Cerebrovascular Development study, the early days of life, they are the interaction between strokes and brain systems Absorb changes that affect the brain.
“The basis of the endothelial cells – the basis of the blood vessels – how they manage themselves to create a brain hair network and how the brain immune cells contribute to this structure in this important stage of brain development of newborns contribute to this structure.”
Investigation affects the treatment of brain pathologies in newborns
For Vanessa Koelho -Santos, the organization of the blood vessel network in the brain can affect the development of the brain atmosphere, the certification of the contribution of microglia, how the brain is formed and neuroamun responses – after brain infection or damage – can affect the development of brain hair network. “
“I believe this research helps us to identify the processes and knowledge of brain pathologies in newborns,” he said.
The Prelinical Research, which is funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology under the ERC-PT A-Projects Program, is done with 250,000 euros.
