Multiple environmental risk factors, including prenatal
maternal infection and peri-pubertal psychological
stress, potentiate emergency of schizophrenia and
susceptibility for psychopathology. We now demonstrate
that the combination of peri-pubertal stress after
asymptomatic maternal infection leads to development of
neurochemical alterations in the mouse cortex but not
hippocampus.
