Figure 2. Developmental processes in the brain impaired by carbon monoxide (CO).

Figure 2

Animal models have demonstrated that perinatal subclinical CO exposure interrupts many of the processes that are critical for normal brain development. Inhibition due to prenatal or postnatal CO exposure is indicated. Specific mechanisms remain largely unknown and are likely not due to tissue hypoxia.
