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.
已有研究表明,大脑中的细胞因子表达介导了各种疾病行为。在此我们报告,给C57BL/6小鼠腹腔注射微小棒状杆菌抗原后,大脑皮层和皮层下结构中的细胞因子会出现长时间上调,其时间进程与自发跑步活动减少相一致。
