Based in Montpellier, South of France, the IRIM (Institute of Research on Infection of Montpellier, #CNRS, #Montpellier University) is dedicated to research in #infectiousdiseases #bacteriology, #virology, and #immunology
Take a look at the Opinion paper by Jules Bouget, Emma Partiot and Raphaël Gaudin, just published in Trends in Neurosciences! It introduces a new concept termed “cognitive virology”, which arises from clinical observations showing that a broad range of viruses can impair human cognition. 1/2
