Infection of the central nervous system by the type 1 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) commonly results in a number of neurological impairments known, in their most severe form, as HIV-associated dementia ( HAD). The persistence of HIV encephalitis ( HIVE), the pathological correlate of HAD, in spite of highly active antiretroviral therapy ( HAART) underscores the importance of continued research focused on the neurobiology of HIV. To elucidate direct and indirect mechanisms of HIV neuropathogenesis, current investigation is focused on neuroinvasion, HIV-1 -mediated mechanisms of neuronal damage and apoptosis, and compartmentalized evolution of virus in the brain. The aim of this review is to provide a selective overview of the most recent research on the neurobiology of HIV, adding only a brief introduction regarding established principles.
