    Abstract Large scale retrospective studies have shown an association between schizophrenia and risk of violence. Overall, this increase in risk is small and does not justify or support stigmatizing public perceptions or media depictions of people with schizophrenia. Nonetheless, in some situations, some symptoms of schizophrenia can increase the risk of violent behavior. Prediction of this behavior would allow high impact preventive interventions. However, to date the neurobiological correlates of violent behavior in schizophrenia are not well understood, precluding the development of prognostic biomarkers. We used electroencephalography to measure alpha activity and microstates from 31 patients with schizophrenia and 18 age matched controls. Participants also completed multiple assessments of current aggressive tendencies and their lifetime history of aggressive acts. We found that individual alpha peak frequency was negatively correlated with aggression scores in both patients and controls (largest Spearman's r = -0.45). Furthermore, this result could be replicated in data taken from a single frontal channel suggesting that this may be possible to obtain in routine clinical settings (largest Spearman's r = -0.40). We also found that transitions between microstates corresponding to auditory and visual networks were inversely correlated with aggression scores. Finally, we found that, within patients, aggression was correlated with the degree of randomness between microstate transitions. This suggests that aggression is related to inappropriate switching between large scale brain networks and subsequent failure to appropriately integrate complicated environmental and internal stimuli. By elucidating some of the electrophysiological correlates of aggression, these data facilitate the development of prognostic biomarkers.

    Abstract Whether or not SARS-CoV-2 can cross from mother to fetus during a prenatal infection has been controversial; however, recent evidence such as viral RNA detection in umbilical cord blood and amniotic fluid, as well as the discovery of additional entry receptors in fetal tissues suggests a potential for viral transmission to and infection of the fetus. Furthermore, neonates exposed to maternal COVID-19 during later development have displayed neurodevelopmental and motor skill deficiencies, suggesting the potential for consequential neurological infection or inflammation in utero. Thus, we investigated transmission potential of SARS-CoV-2 and the consequences of infection on the developing brain using human ACE2 knock-in mice. In this model, we found that viral transmission to the fetal tissues, including the brain, occurred at later developmental stages, and that infection primarily targeted male fetuses. In the brain, SARS-CoV-2 infection largely occurred within the vasculature, but also within other cells such as neurons, glia, and choroid plexus cells; however, viral replication and increased cell death were not observed in fetal tissues. Interestingly, early gross developmental differences were observed between infected and mock-infected offspring, and high levels of gliosis were seen in the infected brains 7 days post initial infection despite viral clearance at this time point. In the pregnant mice, we also observed more severe COVID-19 infections, with greater weight loss and viral dissemination to the brain, compared to non-pregnant mice. Surprisingly, we did not observe an increase in maternal inflammation or the antiviral IFN response in these infected mice, despite showing clinical signs of disease. Overall, these findings have concerning implications regarding neurodevelopment and pregnancy complications of the mother following prenatal COVID-19 exposure.

    Abstract Ongoing efforts to develop effective therapies against filoviruses rely, to different extents, on quantifying the amount of viable virus in samples by plaque, TCID₅₀, and focus assays. Unfortunately, these techniques have inherent variance, and laboratory-specific preferences make direct comparison of data difficult. Additionally, human errors such as operator errors and subjective bias can further compound the differences in outcomes. To overcome these biases, we developed a computer-based automated image-processing method for a focus assay based on the open-source CellProfiler software platform, which enables high-throughput screening of many treatment samples at one time. We compared virus titers calculated using this platform to plaque and TCID₅₀ assays using common stocks of virus for 3 major Filovirus species, Zaire ebolavirus, Sudan ebolavirus, and Marburg marburgvirus with each assay performed by multiple operators on multiple days. We show that plaque assays give comparable findings that differ by less than 3-fold. Focus-forming unit (FFU) and TCID₅₀ assays differ by 10-fold or less from the plaque assays due a higher (FFU) and lower (TCID₅₀) sensitivity. However, reproducibility and accuracy of each assay differs significantly with Neutral Red Agarose Overlay plaque assays and TCID₅₀ with the lowest reproducibility due to subjective analysis and operator error. Both crystal violet methylcellulose overlay plaque assay and focus assays perform best for accuracy and the focus assay performs best for speed and throughput.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients have manifested a variety of neurological complications, and there is still much to reveal regarding the neurotropism of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Human stem cell-derived brain organoids offer a valuable in vitro approach to study the cellular effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the brain. Here we used human embryonic stem cell-derived cortical organoids to investigate whether SARS-CoV-2 could infect brain tissue in vitro and found that cortical organoids could be infected at low viral titers and within 6 h. Importantly, we show that glial cells and cells of the choroid plexus were preferentially targeted in our model, but not neurons. Interestingly, we also found expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 in SARS-CoV-2 infected cells; however, viral replication and cell death involving DNA fragmentation does not occur. We believe that our model is a tractable platform to study the cellular effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection in brain tissue.
