Abstract

ABSTRACT Cytokine expression in the brain has been suggested to mediate various sickness behaviors. Here we report that intraperitoneal injection of a Corynebacterium parvum antigen in C57BL/6 mice was followed by prolonged upregulation of cytokines in the cerebral cortex and subcortical structures in a time course that coincided with reduced spontaneous running activity.

Key Biomarkers

Cytokine expression in cerebral cortexCytokine expression in subcortical structures

Symptom Clusters

Cognitive deficitsReduced spontaneous activitySickness behaviors
