摘要
Neonatal sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonatal intensive care units. Treatment with antibiotics reduces mortality and morbidity, but neonatal sepsis remains a serious life-threatening condition. The objective of this study was to evaluate cognitive impairment in adult mice submitted to sepsis in the neonatal period. To this aim, 2-day-old male C57BL/6 mice were submitted to sepsis by injection of 25 mu g of LPS. Sixty days after, the learning and memory were evaluated. It was observed that the mice submitted to neonatal sepsis presented impairment of habituation, aversive, and object recognition memories, and had an increase of immobility time in forced swimming test in adulthood. In conclusion, this study shows that the neonatal sepsis causes long-term brain alterations. These alterations can persist to adulthood in an animal model due to a vulnerability of the developing brain.
