Systemic immune activation occuring together with release of peripheral cytokines can affect behavior and the functioning of the central nervous system (CNS) However it remains unknown whether and to what extent cognitive functions like memory and attention are affected during transient immune activation We employed a human endotoxemia model and standardized neuropsychological tests to assess the cognitive effects of an experimental inflammation in two groups of 12 healthy young men before and after intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS Escherichia colt 04 ng/kg) or physiological saline Endotoxin administration caused a profound transient physiological response with elevations in body temperature number of circulating neutrophils and increases in plasma cytokine levels [interleukin (IL)-6 IL-10 tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha] and concentrations of norepinephrine ACTH and cortisol However these changes in immune and neuroendocrine parameters were not associated with alterations of memory performance selective attention or executive functions (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc All rights reserved
