Self-reported health, neuropsychological tests and biomarkers in fully recovered COVID-19 patients vs patients with post-COVID cognitive symptoms: A pilot study | PLOS One
Cognitive Slowing, Dysfunction in Verbal Working Memory, Divided Attention and Response Inhibition in Post COVID-19 Condition in Young Adults
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.”
Scientists find two brain biomarkers in long COVID sufferers that may be causing cognitive issues
“A new study that is the first to compare inflammation and brain stress responses in long COVID-19 patients with individuals who have fully recovered shows that those with continued brain fog and other cognitive issues have a lower ability to adapt to stress and higher levels of inflammation in their brains.”

Brain 18F-FDG PET imaging in outpatients with post-COVID-19 conditions: findings and associations with clinical characteristics
“Outpatients with post-COVID-19 conditions exhibited extensive hypometabolic right fronto-temporal clusters. Patients with more numerous symptoms during the initial phase and with a longer duration of symptoms were at higher risk of persistent brain involvement.”

Clinic evaluation of cognitive impairment in post-COVID syndrome: Performance on legacy pen-and-paper and new digital cognitive tests
“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.”

COVID-19 may Enduringly Impact cognitive performance and brain haemodynamics in undergraduate students
“COVID-19 may Enduringly Impact cognitive performance and brain haemodynamics in undergraduate students”
“37 % of the undergraduates exhibited impaired cognition up to 17 months post-infection.”
COVID & the BRAIN… a thread 🧵
Long COVID: SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulation linked to long-lasting brain effects
“The study shows that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein remains in the brain's protective layers, the meninges, and the skull's bone marrow for up to four years after infection. This persistent presence of the spike protein could trigger chronic inflammation in affected individuals and increase the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.”
