What is a neurotropic virus: Discrepancies in terminology between clinical and basic science

Med. 2023 Oct 13;4(10):660-663. doi: 10.1016/j.medj.2023.07.001.

Abstract

Technological advancements allow for the use of more physiologically relevant models to study viral neuropathology. This results in closure of the gap between clinical and basic research. We discuss the current discrepancy in the use of terminology around viral CNS infections, which impedes interdisciplinary communication and translation of findings.
