KINGDOM CROSSING. “Large DNA viruses called chlorovirus which usually only infect algae are capable of jumping kingdoms and affecting our behavior and cognition by interacting with our genes. Throat swabs from psychiatric patients contained ATCV-1 DNA, which when injected into mice they cause deficits of memory and attention during maze tasks. These genes comprised pathways related to synaptic plasticity, learning, memory formation, and the immune response to viral exposure.”
