It’s more about NRP1 than ACE2. NRP1 is how they think it infects the neuron. I changed the subject to summarize/translate what the study was saying.

The role of NRP1 in human sars2 infection is already well know. This study is just showing the infection in the neuron can/may/does precede it’s appearance in the serum.

Also, ACE2 is most certainly expressed in the neurons and his greatly expressed in the hippocampus.
