Correction: Acute transient cognitive dysfunction and acute brain injury induced by systemic inflammation occur by dissociable IL-1-dependent mechanisms.

ABSTRACT

Following publication of this article, the authors noticed an error in the abstract, where they incorrectly stated that "Direct application of IL-1ß to ex vivo hippocampal slices induced non-synaptic depolarisation and irreversible loss of membrane potential in CA1 neurons from diseased animals and systemic LPS increased apoptosis in the degenerating brain, in an IL-1RI-/--dependent fashion". This has now been corrected to "Direct application of IL-1ß to ex vivo hippocampal slices induced non-synaptic depolarisation and irreversible loss of membrane potential in CA1 neurons from diseased animals and systemic LPS increased apoptosis in the degenerating brain, in an IL-1RI-dependent fashion". The authors would like to apologise for this error. This has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the article.
