Figure 7. Schematic illustrating the crucial role of the spleen in exacerbating lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced increases in systemic inflammation, neuroinflammation, cognitive deficits, and anxiety-like behavior in mice exposed to CRSR. BBB, blood-brain barrier; CRSR, chronic and repeated short-term sleep restriction.
