Brain effects of mild COVID-19 in healthy young adults: A pilot study
Brain effects of mild COVID-19 in healthy young adults: A pilot study
“Our pilot data suggests that mild COVID-19 may result in brain pathology and impact neurocognitive function in younger adults in a manner parallel to prior findings in older individuals. Though findings may not generalize to other SARS-CoV-2 variants, larger longitudinal studies of mild COVID-19 should be undertaken to understand the potential clinical implications of these findings over the longer term.”

Study uncovers the basis of COVID-19-related brain fog | University of Minnesota

EXTREME and incomplete oversimplification of the many complex neurological issues caused by SarsCov2, but important facet of the vaguely defined “brain fog” of Long Covid and post-acute Covid lingering symptoms.

“Neurological symptoms have been widely observed in COVID-19 patients, with many survivors exhibiting persistent neurological and cognitive impairment. New research from the University of Minnesota found that COVID-19 triggers inflammation in the brain, which is linked to many COVID-related symptoms such as fatigue and ‘brain fog.’”

Patients recovering from COVID-19 who presented with anosmia during their acute episode have behavioral, functional, and structural brain alterations
Patients recovering from COVID-19 who presented with anosmia during their acute episode have behavioral, functional, and structural brain alterations
: “Patients who presented with anosmia exhibited more IMPULSIVE alternative changes…Anosmia correlated with brain measures, including decreased functional activity during the decision-making task, thinning of cortical thickness in parietal regions, and loss of white matter integrity.”

“The most helpful #MECFS #LongCovid educational series out there right now is Dr. Jarred Youngers video series on "Neuroinflammation, Pain, and Fatigue".

Start at the beginning or jump in as your interest is piqued. There are now 28 shortish videos (most under 15min) and this series will provide an incredible grounding in all things neuroinflammation.

Dr. Younger is all about the 'tools' and 'interventions' and patient education and has done more to educate us about available interventions for neuroinflammation than any other researcher.”

Mounting research shows that COVID-19 leaves its mark on the brain, including significant drops in IQ scores
Mounting research shows that COVID-19 leaves its mark on the brain, including significant drops in IQ scores

In addition to brain fog, COVID-19 can lead to an array of problems, including headaches, seizure disorders, strokes, sleep problems, and tingling and paralysis of the nerves, as well as several mental health disorders. A large and growing body of evidence amassed throughout the pandemic details the many ways that COVID-19 leaves an indelible mark on the brain. But the specific pathways by which the virus does so are still being elucidated, and curative treatments are nonexistent.

SARS-CoV-2 infects neurons and induces neuroinflammation in a non-human primate model of COVID-19
SARS-CoV-2 infects neurons and induces neuroinflammation in a non-human primate model of COVID-19
“Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiologic agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), can induce a plethora of neurological complications in some patients. However, it is still under debate whether SARS-CoV-2 directly infects the brain or whether CNS sequelae result from systemic inflammatory responses triggered in the periphery. By using high-resolution microscopy, we investigated whether SARS-CoV-2 reaches the brain and how viral neurotropism can be modulated by aging in a non-human primate model of COVID-19.”
