TrkB-mediated sustained neuroprotection is sex-specific and [Formula: see text]-dependent in adult mice following neonatal hypoxia ischemia.

These observations provide evidence for a therapeutic role for DHF in which TrkB-mediated sustained recovery of recognition and location memories in females are [Formula: see text]-associated and dependent, respectively. However, the beneficial effects of DHF therapy did not include reduction of gross tissue loss but may be derived from the enhanced functioning of residual tissues in a cell-specific manner.
