Animal Model:	Rat Neonatal Immune Challenge: Borna Disease Virus
Preparation Type:	Developmental Preparations
DA-related behavior:	Enhanced novelty induced locomotor activity in Fisher rats; enhanced amphetamine-induced locomotion
Gating:	Disrupted PPI in Fisher rats
Cognitive behavior:	Reduced social interaction
Molecular/morphological signature:	Impairs BDNF synaptogenesis; prefrontal cortex thinning; loss of cerebellar Purkinje neurons; increased norepinephrine and 5-HT levels in cortex and cerebellum (post-pubertal)
