    Brain Exposure to SARS-CoV-2 Virions Perturbs Synaptic Homeostasis

    Using cerebral organoids, organotypic culture of human brain explants from individuals without COVID-19, and post-mortem brain samples from individuals with COVID-19, investigators found that neural cells were permissive to SARS-CoV-2 to a low extent.
