Animal Kernicterus Models: Progress and Challenges.

Kernicterus is a leading cause of neonatal death throughout the world, especially in low-middle-income countries. It is developed by an unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia in the blood and brain tissue, triggering pathological processes that spawn neurotoxicity and neurodegeneration. However, the biological mechanism (s) of bilirubin-induced neurotoxicity and Kernicterus development remain to be well elucidated.

A Novel Intervention Technology for Cerebral Palsy: Brain Stimulation.

A common pediatric disorder with posture and motor dysfunction in neurological diseases is known as cerebral palsy (CP). Recently, a series of effective techniques have been developed for treatment of CP. These promising methods need high-tech equipment for brain stimulation and mainly classified into invasive and no-invasive approaches.
