Synaptic Plasticity and Neurological Disorders in Neurotropic Viral Infections

Abstract excerpt

Based on the type of cells or tissues they tend to harbor or attack, many of the viruses are characterized. But, in case of neurotropic viruses, it is not possible to classify them based on their tropism because many of them are not primarily neurotropic.
