“…HIP7 causes delays 55 in reflex maturation, motor coordination deficits (Lubics 56 et al, 2005), and also anxiety-related and cognitive 57 impairments in early and late development (Ikeda et al,58 2001; Pereira et al, 2007;Hill et al, 2010;Arteni et al, 59 2010; Sanches et al, 2012). Anatomical and growing impairments (Tai et al, 2009), spatial and 76 aversive memory impairments (Huang et al, 2009;77 Sanches et al, 2013a,b;Alexander et al, 2013), as well 78 as sensorimotor deficits after HIP3 injury (Fan et al,79 2005; Cengiz et al, 2011;Alexander et al, 2014). 80 Recent findings of our research group showed effects 81 of hemispheric brain lateralization on biochemical, 82 histological and behavioral impairments using HIP7 and 83 HIP3 injury models (Arteni et al, 2010;Sanches et al, 84 2013a,b), and such effects showed to also depend on 85 the age of animals at injury.…”
