NOD2 activation reprograms infiltrating inflammatory monocytes in the Zika virus infected CNS to maintain neural correlates of learning and memory

This study shows that NOD2 activation with MDP during ZIKV infection shifts monocytes to an anti-inflammatory state, preserving synapses and cognitive function in the hippocampus.

CCR2 limits inflammatory functions of CD8 TRM cells that impair recognition memory during recovery from WNV encephalitis

The paper shows that CCR2 signaling in CD8 TRM cells during WNV recovery limits neuroinflammation and prevents memory impairments.
