    Abstract Recent psychoneuroimmunology research has provided new insight into the etiology and pathogenesis of severe mental disorders (SMDs). The mild encephalitis (ME) hypothesis was developed with the example of human Borna disease virus infection years ago and proposed, that a subgroup SMD patients, mainly from the broad schizophrenic and affective spectrum, could suffer from mild neuroinflammation, which remained undetected because hard to diagnose with available diagnostic methods. Recently, in neurology an emerging new subgroup of autoimmune encephalitis (AE) cases suffering from various neurological syndromes was described in context with the discovery of an emerging list of Central Nervous System (CNS) autoantibodies. Similarly in psychiatry, consensus criteria of autoimmune psychosis (AP) were developed for patients presenting with CNS autoantibodies together with isolated psychiatric symptoms and paraclinical findings of (mild) neuroinflammation, which in fact match also the previously proposed ME criteria. Nevertheless, identifying mild neuroinflammation

    Title translation The Archive of Gerd Huber (1921-2012) at Bezirkskrankenhaus Günzburg.
    Abstract Gerd Huber (1921-2012) was an influential West German psychiatrist and neurologist of the postwar period. Especially his studies with imaging techniques on the question of brain atrophy, the long-term course and the basic symptoms of schizophrenic disorders made a significant contribution to the research of schizophrenia and were discussed internationally. The Huber Archive, which was handed over to Bezirkskrankenhaus Günzburg, is currently being catalogued for research purposes. The archive contains Huber's private and professional papers, his writings, and a small partial archive of Kurt Schneider. These archival records not only reflect the development of Gerd Huber's academic career, but also are significant for research on the history of psychiatry in postwar West Germany, the development of concepts in the fields of schizophrenia research and biological psychiatry, the history of universities and everyday life, and other topics.

    Abstract Many neurotropic viruses exist and may cause classical inflammation but also low-level neuroinflammation. However, viruses may be dormant within the CNS and become active later. The role of neurotropic virus infections in the causation of psychiatric disorders may be underestimated, because the diagnostic approach to the CNS is difficult and to dormant infections in general, but especially within the CNS. Evidence is increasing that infections increase the risk of psychiatric disorders, not only prenatal infections but also infections during the lifetime. The question how low level neuroinflammation may be involved in severe psychiatric disorders like affective and schizophrenic spectrum disorders is intriguing but remains to be studied. Experimental data clearly show that low-level neuroinflammation can be induced by viruses, but the definitions of inflammation and low level neuroinflammation appear to be blurred and apparently the previous classical definition of inflammation has to be widened. Virus infection itself or virus-related products or virus-induced autoimmunity may play a role in disease pathogenesis. More sensitive diagnostic approaches from neuroimaging and CSF investigations may hold the key to a better understanding and definition of CNS viral infections as an etiopathogenetic subgroup of severe psychiatric disorders.
