Maternal Immune Activation Leads to Lasting Sex-Specific Changes in Behavior and Hippocampal Morphological and Molecular Features in 12-Month-Old Rat Offspring
Female offspring appear more vulnerable to pro-neurodegenerative changes, whereas male offspring activate compensatory neuroprotective pathways that might partially preserve hippocampal function despite sustained pro-inflammatory reactions, highlighting sex as a critical biological variable in the long-term consequence...
