10 Questions
What is the role of caspases in apoptosis?
Serving as key components in the apoptotic signaling network
How does myelination impact the transmission of information along neurons?
It enhances the speed and fidelity of information encoded in action potentials
What factor can cause a reduction in blood flow combined with lower than normal oxygen levels in the blood, ultimately affecting brain development?
Cerebral hypoxia-ischemia
What neurological disorder may have its origins during fetal life according to compelling evidence?
Cerebral palsy
What is a potential consequence of acute fetal hypoxemia on brain development?
Enhanced cell migration in the hippocampus
What effect can chronic fetal hypoxemia have on brain development?
Impairment of development of the fetus
How can CNS inflammation affect pre-oligodendrocytes?
Impeding interneuron axons survival

Stem cells with neuroprotective effects
What challenges are associated with cord blood cell therapy?
Transient neuroprotective effects
What is the main focus of preclinical considerations relating to humans according to the text?
Relevance to humans
Test your knowledge on the concepts of cell apoptosis and myelination. Learn about the role of caspases in programmed cell death and the importance of neurotrophic factors in regulating apoptosis. Understand how oligodendrocytes wrap lipid-rich myelin around axons to enhance their speed and fidelity.
