Peripheral Inflammation is Associated with Altered Substantia Nigra Activity and Psychomotor Slowing in Humans
Open accessAbstract
BackgroundSystemic infections commonly cause sickness symptoms including psychomotor retardation. Inflammatory cytokines released during the innate immune response are implicated in the communication of peripheral inflammatory signals to the brain.MethodsWe used functional magnetic resonance brain imaging (fMRI) to investigate neural effects of peripheral inflammation following typhoid vaccination in 16 healthy men, using a double-blind, randomized, crossover-controlled design.ResultsVaccination had no global effect on neurovascular coupling but markedly perturbed neural reactivity within substantia nigra during low-level visual stimulation. During a cognitive task, individuals in whom typhoid vaccination engendered higher levels of circulating interleukin-6 had significantly slower reaction time responses. Prolonged reaction times and larger interleukin-6 responses were associated with evoked neural activity within substantia nigra.ConclusionsOur findings provide mechanistic insights into the interaction between inflammation and neurocognitive performance, specifically implicating circulating cytokines and midbrain dopaminergic nuclei in mediating the psychomotor consequences of systemic infection.

(A) Mean BOLD signal change (+SEM) during checkerboard stimulus in all voxels probabilistically assigned to Brodmann areas 17 and 18 for vaccine and placebo conditions. There was no significant interaction between mean activation to visual stimulation and inflammatory state in either BA17 (p = .11) or BA18 (p = .34), confirming no effect of inflammation on neurovascular coupling. (B) Interaction between task performance and inflammatory state shows a highly significant change in BOLD signal within the left substantia nigra during performance of flashing checkerboard task (p = .002 after whole brain family-wise error [FWE] correction at p = .05).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
