Figure 6From: Inflammation early in life is a vulnerability factor for emotional behavior at adolescence and for lipopolysaccharide-induced spatial memory and neurogenesis alteration at adulthood A lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge at adulthood reduces the number of doublecortin (DCX)-positive cells in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus of postnatal day 14 (PND14) neonatal LPS mice. Neurogenesis was evaluated by quantifying the number of DCX-positive cells in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Data are expressed as means ± SEM (n = 8/group). *P <0.05, for the NaCl-NaCl group compared to the LPS-LPS group.Back to article page
