Study shows why females suffer less brain injury at birth

It has been known for some time that female infants appear less vulnerable to a specific birth injury, but scientists did not know why. The injury occurs if complications arise during birth that deprives infant brains of oxygen and nutrient-rich blood. This deprivation can lead to hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, which causes many long-term neurological conditions including cerebral palsy and learning disabilities. It may also cause death in some cases.
