Lyme can produce an 'encephalopathy' with a wide variety of clinical
manifestations, including memory loss, depression, insomnia, irritablity
and language impairment.

Most references are to the 'neurologic' rather than specifically
neurobehavioral aspects of the disease.  Here's a few:

Finkel, MF Lyme Disease and Its Neurologic Complications. Arch Neurol Vol

I hope these help...
