Prenatal/Neonatal Immune Challenge Models |
Structural and Neurochemical Phenotype |
Behavioral Phenotype | References |
---|---|---|---|
Human Influenza Virus | Dysregulation of genes involved in cell structure and function; significant brain atrophy | Impaired PPI; deficits in exploratory behavior in both open field and novel object test; impaired social interaction | 61, 62, 63, 64 |
Borna Disease Virus | Impaired hippocampal synaptogenesis; increased cortical and cerebellum levels of NE and 5-HT; loss of Purkinje cells in cerebellum | Impaired social behaviors; increased locomotor activity; impaired habituation and PPI (rat strain dependent) | 65, 66, 67, 68, 69 |
LPS | Age-specific changes in accumbal DA levels and striatal DOPAC; dendritic changes in mPFC and hippocampus | Disrupted PPI; increased amphetamine-induced locomotor activity; deficits in social interaction | 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76 |
Poly I:C | DA-related pharmacological abnormalities; increase in GABAA receptor subunit α2 in ventral dentate gyrus and basolateral amygdala | Learning deficits in Morris water maze; postpubertal latent inhibition and PPI deficits; impaired object recognition; impaired social behavior | 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82 |
