Neonatal infection in male rats produces a number of long-term physiological and behavioral changes
Neonatally-infected rats exhibit a sensitized fever response following an adult immune challenge, such as LPS, when compared to control rats [41]. Neonatally-infected rats have an attenuated corticosterone response to an acute stressor, when compared to control rats [42]. Neonatally-infected rats also exhibit decreased social interactions with other rats when compared to control rats [42].
