White matter of perinatally HIV infected older youths shows low frequency fluctuations that may reflect glial cycling
Abstract In perinatally HIV-infected (PHIV) children, neurodevelopment occurs in the presence of HIV-infection, and even with combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) the brain can be a reservoir for latent HIV. Consequently, patients often demonstrate long-term cognitive deficits and developmental...
