Guided delivery of adeno-associated viral vectors into the primate brain

In this review, we discuss recent developments in the delivery of adeno-associated virus-based vectors (AAV), particularly with respect to the role of axonal transport in vector distribution in the brain. The use of MRI-guidance and new stereotactic aiming devices have now established a strong foundation for neurological gene therapy to become an accepted procedure in interventional neurology.
