Dendritic spines are the postsynaptic compartment of a neuronal synapse and are critical for
synaptic connectivity and plasticity. A developmental precursor to dendritic spines, dendritic …

Dogma holds that Toxoplasma gondii persists in neurons because neurons cannot clear
intracellular parasites, even with IFN-γ stimulation. As several recent studies questioned this …

Toxoplasma gondii establishes a long-lived latent infection in the central nervous system
