The prefrontal cortex as a target of HIV-1 neurotoxicity: molecular mechanisms of viral protein-mediated neurodegeneration and executive dysfunction
Despite the success of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) in achieving peripheral viral suppression, HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) remains a persistent challenge, affecting approximately 50% of people living with HIV. This review identifies the prefrontal cortex (PFC) as a primary target of HIV-1 ne...
