Our objective was to assess the relationship between hyperbilirubinemia with and without kernicterus and metabolic profile at newborn screening. Included were 1,693,658 infants divided into a training or testing subset in a ratio of 3:1. Forty-two metabolites were analyzed using logistic regression
The pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN), which is located in the upper brainstem, contains cholinergic and non-cholinergic neurons, and has afferent and efferent connections to the basal ganglia and spinal cord. The PPN is known to be affected in adult-onset basal ganglia diseases, and we speculated that
