Molecular Neurovirology: Pathogenesis of Viral CNS Infections

Neurovirology, the study of viral infection of the ner­ vous system, has evolved at the interface of three of the most rapidly unfolding fields of investigation-neurobiology, vi­ rology, and immunology. In all three, increasing knowledge about the molecular structure of surface receptors, how in­ tracellular messages are transmitted, and how diversity is regulated genetically is provided, along with the techniques of molecular biology. This promises to give us knowledge not only about the p...
