Resumo: ObjectiveThe present study sought to investigate changes in mood, inhibitory control, and working memory associated with T. gondii infection in a sample of Brazilian women.MethodTwenty-eight female participants were equally distributed into two groups, according to the serology for chronic infection by T. gondii. The participants answered a Sociodemographic questionnaire, the CES-D, and performed Simon and N-Back tasks.ResultsInfected participants presented less accuracy and longer response time in N-Back tasks. No significant differences were found in the Simon task performance or in the depression levels. ConclusionOur findings suggest that chronic infection by T. gondii may result in impaired working memory and point out the importance of public policies aiming at preventing this infection.

As participantes responderam a um questionário sociodemográfico, à CES-D e realizaram as tarefas Simon e N-Back.ResultadosAs participantes infectadas apresentaram menor acurácia e maior tempo de resposta na tarefa N-Back. Nenhuma diferença significativa foi encontrada na tarefa Simon ou na escala de depressão.ConclusãoNossos achados sugerem que a infecção crônica por T. gondii pode resultar em comprometimento da memória de trabalho, e apontam para a importância de políticas públicas de prevenção dessa infecção.Núcleo de Editoração - PUC-Campinas2024-04-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/12481Psychological Studies; Vol. 41 (2024)Estudos de Psicologia; Vol. 41 (2024)Estudos de Psicologia; v. 41 (2024)1982-0275reponame:Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas)instname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)instacron:PUC_CAMPengporhttps://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/12481/9739https://periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br/estpsi/article/view/12481/9771Copyright (c) 2024 Laiany Nayara Barros Gonçalves, Italo Ramon Rodrigues Menezes, Jennifer Lee Palmer, Ivani Bryshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGonçalves, Laiany Nayara BarrosMenezes, Italo Ramon RodriguesPalmer, Jennifer LeeBrys, Ivani2024-05-08T17:50:50Zoai:ojs.periodicos.puc-campinas.edu.br:article/12481Revistahttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudosPRIhttps://seer.sis.puc-campinas.edu.br/seer/index.php/estudos/oaisbi.ne_estpsi@puc-campinas.edu.br||estudosdepsicologia@puc-campinas.edu.br||psychologicalstudies@puc-campinas.edu.br1982-02750103-166Xopendoar:2024-05-08T17:50:50Estudos de Psicologia (Campinas) - Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas (PUC-CAMPINAS)false
