HIV-exposure related disruptions in functional and structural connectivity in the central auditory system in adolescence

This study examines structural and functional connectivity of the central auditory system in HIV-exposed uninfected children at age 11, finding subtle alterations in the inferior colliculus and its connections without significant neurocognitive correlates.

Evidence of functional connectivity disruptions between auditory and non-auditory regions in adolescents living with HIV

This study investigates functional connectivity disruptions in the auditory system of adolescents with HIV, finding reduced connectivity in auditory regions and associations with neurocognitive impairments.

Distinct alterations in white matter properties and organization related to maternal treatment initiation in neonates exposed to HIV but uninfected

The paper examines how the timing of maternal ART initiation affects white matter integrity and organization in HIV-exposed uninfected neonates using DTI and graph theory.
