Explore the complex relationships between HIV infection, accelerated biological aging, and neurological changes in this comprehensive seminar by Dr. Kalen Petersen from Johns Hopkins Medicine. Examine how HIV affects the aging process at the biological level and learn about advanced brain imaging techniques used to study neurological changes in HIV-positive individuals. Discover the mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment in persons living with HIV, including how the virus may accelerate brain aging and contribute to neurocognitive disorders. Analyze current research findings on brain structure and function changes observed through neuroimaging studies, and understand the clinical implications for managing cognitive health in HIV patients. Gain insights into the intersection of virology, neuroscience, and aging research, with particular focus on how chronic HIV infection may lead to premature aging of the brain and associated cognitive decline.
