Abstract

Highlights: Untreated immature breathing leads neonatal intermittent hypoxia (nIH).nIH promotes a pro-oxidant state associated with increased HIF1a activity and NOX upregulation.nIH-dependent pro-oxidant state leads to NMDAr remodeling of the GluN2 subunit to impair synaptic plasticity.Impaired synaptic plasticity and NMDAr remodeling caused by nIH persists beyond the critical period of development.A discrete window for antioxidant administration exists to effectively mitigate neurophysiological and behavioral consequences of nIH.
