Abstract HIV-1-associated dementia remains a common subacute to chronic central nervous system degeneration in adult and pediatric HIV-1 infected populations.A number of viral and host factors have been implicated including the HIV-1 120 kDa envelope glycoprotein (gp120).In human post-mortem studies 2014 dodge ram 1500 fender flares using confocal scanning laser microscopy for microtubule-associated protein 2 and synaptophysin, neuronal dendritic pathology correlated princess polly dresses long sleeve with dementia.

In the present study, primary human CNS cultures exposed to HIV-1 gp120 at 4 weeks in vitro suffered gliosis and dendritic damage analogous to that described in association with HIV-1-associated dementia.
