“significant memory and executive function decline lasting up to a year, despite no reported subjective symptoms, prompting new questions about the virus’s long-term cognitive effects.”
“Brain fog may gradually evolve into a slight memory problem, difficulty finding the right word for things, objects, situations and then registering new information.”
A widely held notion is that SARS2 activates our immune systems, causing an inflammatory response in the brain.
The present study revealed that in YOUNG adults, university students, without other comorbidities, there can be significant long-lasting cognitive impairments TWO YEARS after COVID-19 infection."
➡️"Specifically, verbal working memory was significantly impaired, and a lower performance was detected in divided attention and response inhibition.”
“Post-Covid cognitive impairment affects daily function and quality of life. • ACE-III fails to detect cognitive impairment in most post-Covid patients. • 89% of patients have impaired attention, executive function, processing speed on novel tests. • New tests are needed for post-Covid cognitive assessment in clinical practice.”
Nearly half of those infected with SARS-CoV-2 experience long-term neurological problems, including brain fog and memory issues.
An infection may accelerate or exacerbate prion diseases like Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, leading to rapid neurodegeneration.
“COVID-19 survivors show signs of significant cognitive deficits which could become dementia even a year after having the virus.. The team [in India] found that more than 80% of people tested reported at least one of four symptoms – depression, anxiety, stress and insomnia – ranging from mild to severe.. At least 6.1% of the patients were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment and 4% developed dementia. More than 60% of the patients experienced a loss of taste and smell during the active phase of the infection. This could alter the function of brain areas linked to cognitive ability and emotional well-being.."
“Hey all. I thought I would just throw this out there. I had an advanced brain fMRI that was able to show a bunch of brain biomarkers. The only significant finding was that I had low brain glutathione. I was at .56 mM and the normal range is 1-2 mM. He told me this is a large deficiency.
He said this would usually indicate CFS, brain fog, and low energy.”
“MRI scans reveal the damage long Covid does to your brain
Researchers suggested lasting Covid symptoms might be an indirect effect of brainstem inflammatory injury”
Whoopi Goldberg, who just had her 4th COVID infection, joked about her post infection brain damage on TV.
“I’m just getting over COVID – again – and I can barely remember anybody’s name. There are times when I go for a word and it’s not there.”
“We found persistent subjective and objective cognitive issues even two years after infection, including brain fog, word-finding problems, working memory deficits and reduced processing speed.” “Most Patients Have Never Fully Recovered”
Not a cold.
A mutation in the Spike Protein of SARS-CoV-2 could help it infect brain cells using a secret “back door” after entering the central nervous system.
