Longitudinal morphological phenotyping of HIV-1 mouse model can provide an assessment of brain structural changes during disease progression and therapeutic responses. An in vivo MEMRI based NSG mouse brain atlas was generated to assess volumetric effects on brain structures from the process of generating humanized mice. Our results determined significant size reduction in humanized mice brain structures. This procedure will be extended to track structure-wise changes during progression of HIV-1 infection in NSG human cell transplanted mice.
