Long-term alterations in brain and behavior after postnatal Zika virus infection in infant macaques
Abstract
The consequences of postnatal Zika infection are not fully understood. Here, the authors show that postnatal Zika infection in infant rhesus macaques alters neurodevelopment resulting in social, cognitive and motor impairments, as well as structural and functional changes in the brain.
