A few years ago my team mounted what I think was the largest-(to-date) scale search for this in electron microscopy brain tissue volumes [1].
I STRONGLY believe there is a substantial central nervous system microbiome, but (spoiler alert) no evidence found in that search :)
If you're excited about this work, the datasets are all freely available from BossDB [2] — well over a dozen petavoxels of it! I'd be so curious if models these days could pick up on something we missed!
