Repeated, sustained inflammation affects hippocampal dependent learning and neuroinflammation across age and sex.
Article in Behavioural brain research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Brain aging results in alterations of baseline neuroimmune signaling and cognitive function. Here, we characterize hippocampal-dependent cognitive function for two behavioral tasks, the T-maze and context object discrimination (COD), following repeated inflammation with peripheral lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment in three age groups. Inflammation affected behavior differently across age groups. Males that received LPS were more likely to complete the T-maze task and select the correct arm compared to other groups. Six-month-old female rats were more successful on the COD task following LPS compared to other ages. Three-month-old rats were impaired by previous LPS treatment, while 12-month-old rats were unable to complete the task at all. However, the molecular mechanisms for these behavioral changes remain unclear. Microglial morphology was altered in 6-month-olds, but interleukin-1β and phosphorylated tau expression decreased within the brain across age. The behavioral improvement in the 6-month-olds following LPS indicates a unique response of their brains to peripheral inflammation and shows a distinct trajectory from young to older adults. Specific mechanisms for these behavioral differences remain unexplored.
