“…Preterm birth has been shown to cause long‐lasting changes to the OL population and subsequent myelination development, particularly within the frontal cortex and hippocampus (Ortinau & Neil, 2015; Shaw et al., 2016; Volpe et al., 2011). These regions are densely innervated by dopaminergic and noradrenergic pathways, of which these neuromodulators are particularly susceptible to injury caused by hypoxia and associated excitotoxic damage (Buller et al., 2008; Bywood & Johnson, 2001; Chen et al., 2017; Descarries et al., 1987; Devoto & Flore, 2006; Jenkins et al., 2016; Lindvall et al., 1978; Moreno‐Castilla et al., 2017). Studies have indicated that these neurotransmitters also play roles in OL development and myelin production (Azizi, 2022; García‐Ramírez et al., 2014).…”
