Murine Olfactory Bulb Interneurons Survive Infection with a Neurotropic Coronavirus

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT Viral infection of the central nervous system (CNS) is complicated by the mostly irreplaceable nature of neurons, as the loss of neurons has the potential to result in permanent damage to brain function. However, whether neurons or other cells in the CNS sometimes survive infection and the effects of infection on neuronal function is largely unknown. To address this question, we used the rJHM strain (rJ)...
