   EARLY gestational exposure to isoflurane causes persistent cell loss in the dentate gyrus of adult male rats

   Our previous research showed that 4 h of maternal anesthesia with isoflurane during early gestation in pregnant rats leads to a deficit in spatial memory of adult male offspring. Because spatial memory is pred...
