Molecular Changes In Brain Fluid Give Insight Into Brain-damaging Disease

in Biology & Nature
Researchers have developed a new approach to identify molecular changes in the fluid bathing the central nervous system and used it to obtain insight into the mechanisms of central nervous system damage in a monkey model of the dementia and encephalitis (acute inflammation of the brain) that can occur during the late stages of HIV/AIDS. It is hoped that similar approaches could be used to provide new information about other neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders.
