* In the study by Yang and colleagues, LPS from E. coli O26:B6 is mentioned as a material in the cell culture treatment; however, this information is not provided in the animal model-so it is hypothesized that the same LPS type has been used [70]. Abbreviations: N/A—no data available; LPS—lipopolysaccharide; MWM—Morris water maze test; PAT—passive avoidance test; PT—pole test; OFT—open field test; NOR—novel object recognition test; NAD—novel arm discrimination task; ST—splash test.
