Dissociation between learning and memory impairment and other sickness behaviours during simulated Mycoplasma infection in rats
Swanepoel, Tanya; Harvey, Brian H.; Harden, Lois M.; Laburn, Helen P.; Mitchell, Duncan (Elsevier, 2011)To investigate potential consequences for learning and memory, we have simulated the effects of Mycoplasma infection, in rats, by administering fibroblast-stimulating lipopepide-1 (FSL-1), a pyrogenic moiety of Mycoplasma ... -
Simulated systemic recurrent Mycoplasma infection in rats induces recurrent sickness responses without residual impairment in spatial learning and memory
Swanepoel, Tanya; Harvey, Brian H.; Harden, Lois M.; Laburn, Helen P.; Mitchell, Duncan (Elsevier, 2012)In spite of their prevalence and importance, recurrent acute infections seldom have been investigated in the laboratory. We set out to measure fever and sickness behaviour in simulated recurrent Mycoplasma infection; Mycoplasma ...
