Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a common infection in children and senior adults, can also infect nerve cells and trigger inflammation leading to nerve damage, according to a new study authored by several Tulane University researchers. The study is the first to prove that RSV can penetrate nerve cells and may provide the clearest link between RSV and reported neurological symptoms in children.

Thomas Beller, essayist, novelist and director of Tulane University’s creative writing program, penned a guest essay titled “Manet and Degas and Robert and Me.” The essay centers around the recently closed “Manet/Degas” exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which examines the close and sometimes tumultuous relationship between Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas. Beller writes that the exhibit harkened back to his own complicated friendship with writer Robert Bingham, who died in 1999.
