Thus, we studied the temporal changes in Iba1+ microglia-like cell (MCL) populations in the CA1 between P10–P11 and P18–P19 in response to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) at E12.5 in mice, chorioamnionitis (chorio) at E18 in rats and neonatal hypoxia–ischemia (HI) at P10 in mice. This evidence concerns the gene AIF1 and chorioamnionitis.
