Papers from the October 1993 symposium discuss not only AIDS and its effects on the nervous system but also address the problem from the point of view of the diverse technologies used in understanding the disease. Highlights include findings on human fetal and glioma-derived cell cultures, toxins in the nervous system, release and damage of cytokines in the brain, the neuropathic effects of HIV proteins, new treatment for neuro-AIDS, and virus detection strategies to identify latent HIV-1 infection.
