ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT Abstract (199 words) Preterm birth is still the most important cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity. Follow-
T
up studies showed that the majority of neurological abnormalities during childhood are already
IP
present in the first week after birth. In this light, the knowledge of the timing of the insult and/or of
SC R
the contributing factors is of utmost relevance in order to avoid adverse neurological outcome. Notwithstanding, the considerable advances in perinatal clinical care and monitoring, the early detection of cases at risk for brain damage is still a challenge because, when radiological pictures
NU
are still negative, brain damage may be already at a subclinical stage, with symptoms hidden by
MA
therapeutic strategies. Thus, it could be very relevant to measure quantitative parameters, such as neuroproteins, able to detect subclinical lesions at a stage when routine brain monitoring procedures are still silent.

In the last decade, the assay of the brain-specific protein S100B in different biological fluids proved useful information on brain function and damage in the perinatal period.

Therefore, the present study provides an overview of the most recent findings on S100B role

as a reliable marker of brain development/damage in preterm high risk fetuses and newborns.
