In female mice, Toxoplasma infection altered the expression of genes involved in the development of the forebrain,
neurogenesis, and sensory and motor coordination (i.e. downregulation of
fatty acid-binding protein 7 and eyes absent homolog 1, upregulation of semaphorin 7A). In male mice, infection led mainly to modulation of genes associated with olfactory function (i.e. downregulation of a number of
olfactory receptors and
dopamine receptor D4, upregulation of slit homolog 1).
