<i>Toxoplasma</i> induces stripping of perisomatic inhibitory synapses

2019-10-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Infection and inflammation within the brain induces changes in neuronal connectivity and function. The intracellular protozoan parasite, Toxoplasma gondii , is one pathogen that infects the brain and can cause encephalitis and seizures. Persistent infection by this parasite is also associated with behavioral alterations and an increased risk for developing psychiatric illness, including schizop...
