“…The IR paradigm is a neurodevelopmental model of early life chronic stress in modeling schizophrenia, including the involvement of oxidative stress and inflammation (Möller et al, 2013a, b), for example, altered expressions of c-fos, anti-oxidative enzymes, and levels of certain cytokines (Muchimapura et al, 2002;Möller et al, 2011Möller et al, , 2013aKo and Liu, 2015). Oxidative stress and inflammation also evoke disruptions of dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT), and the expression of schizophrenic genes was observed in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), hippocampus, and striatum of IR rats (Brenes and Fornaguera, 2009;Sun et al, 2012;Kishi et al, 2014;Möller et al, 2013a;Selvaraj et al, 2014), resulting in behavioral deficits, particularly that the IR rats may develop an impairment of prepulse inhibition which refers to the dysfunction of sensorimotor gating in schizophrenia and schizophrenia spectrum patients (Fone and Porkess, 2008;Möller et al, 2013b).…”
