Article Synopsis
- Helminth infections in school-age children lead to cognitive deficits, and deworming treatment improves memory recall; similar effects are observed in mice with distinct differences between sexes.
- Male and female mice showed different parasite loads and changes in neurotransmitter levels, with males experiencing increased norepinephrine and serotonin in the hippocampus, while females had decreased levels.
- The study indicates that the brain's response to infection varies across different structures and can explain the behavioral changes seen in infected individuals, highlighting the complex interactions between the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems.
