In addition, C-section is often performed for very preterm neonates to avoid hypoxia during a vaginal delivery.

- Microglia and macrophages are important for brain health and development, especially during early life.
- Research shows that inflammation in newborn mice can alter the development of brain cells, leading to problems with thinking and learning.
- Scientists found a specific group of microglia that react strongly to inflammation, which may explain some issues linked to neurodevelopmental disorders.
