Exp Neurol. 2007 Oct 24; [Epub ahead of print] Note: From abstract: "These data support previous observations that asphyxia per se can generate the substrate for peripheral tissue and brain damage, which are worsened by aberrant sensorimotor experience during maturation, and could explain the disabling movement disorders observed in children with CP."
