Jigsaw Puzzle : TEM of a Borna disease virus, cause of depression
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
TEM of a Borna disease virus, cause of depression
Borna virus. Coloured Transmission Electron Micro- graph of a Borna virus in a tissue culture. The virus causes the fatal Borna disease in horses and may be a cause of human psychiatric diseases such as clinical depression & schizophrenia. The virus has an outer membrane (envelope, yellow). This encloses the genetic material (blue) which is comprised of Ribonucleic Acid (RNA). Borna infects a wide range of creatures, including humans. It infiltrates the nervous system, being particularly found in parts of the brain, such as the hippocam- pus and hypothalamus, which control emotions and desires. Drugs to treat Borna may cure psychiatric diseases. Magnification: x180, 000 at 6x4.5cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM) of the Borna disease virus, shedding light on its role as a potential cause of depression and schizophrenia. The Borna virus, responsible for the fatal Borna disease in horses, has been found to have significant implications for human psychiatric disorders. The image reveals the intricate structure of the virus, with an outer membrane enveloping its genetic material composed of Ribonucleic Acid (RNA), depicted in shades of blue. Known to infect various creatures including humans, Borna primarily targets the nervous system and is particularly concentrated in key regions of the brain such as the hippocampus and hypothalamus – areas crucial for regulating emotions and desires. Scientists believe that by developing drugs to combat this elusive brain virus, they may also find effective treatments for psychiatric diseases like clinical depression and schizophrenia. With a magnification level set at x180,000 within a compact 6x4.5cm size frame, this TEM image offers an extraordinary glimpse into the microscopic world where viruses interact with our neural pathways. This remarkable photograph from Science Photo Library serves as a reminder that even entities invisible to our naked eye can have profound impacts on our well-being. By unraveling their secrets through advanced imaging techniques like TEM microscopy, we inch closer towards unlocking potential cures for debilitating mental health conditions caused by viruses such as Borna.
