 AB    HIV can invade the CNS, where it replicates principally in macrophages.
       Yet, neurological disease is more often correlated with levels of
       neurotoxins or tumor necrosis factor alpha than with viral replication
       or specific viral determinants in brain. In experimental systems, HIV
       glycoprotein affects functions of uninfected microglia and astrocytes to
       eventually cause neuronal death. While the cellular basis of cognitive
       and neurological dysfunction are unravelled in the simian
       immunodeficiency virus model, the molecular mechanisms of HIV
       neurotoxicity are being studied in newly developed mouse models.
