Spike Mutations Help SARS-CoV-2 Infect the Brain - News Center
“It’s still not known if long COVID is caused by direct infection of cells in the brain or due to some adverse immune response that persists beyond the infection,”
Persistent Autonomic and Immunologic Abnormalities in Neurologic Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV2 Infection - PubMed
NIH study on 7 Neuro-PASC patients (ages 42-63) found 71% of initial abnormalities, like autonomic and immunologic issues, persisted after 1 year.
Persistent signs include central catecholamine deficiency and MRI changes.
Neurovascular Injury Evident in Sudden Death of Patients With COVID-19
"Neurovascular injury during COVID-19 infection is likely triggered by antibody-mediated cytotoxicity directed at endothelial cells."

Comprehensive thread on Twitter> Glad to share this Perspective written with @VirusesImmunity , where we review what is understood about how COVID can affect the brain, discuss the possible neurobiological underpinnings & propose the main mechanisms that may contribute to COVID brain fog🧵
Brain injury a common consequence of both COVID-19 and influenza
"The present study demonstrated elevated concentrations of brain injury biomarkers in COVID-19 patients...correlated with the presence of autoantibodies and proinflammatory cytokines...(and) evidence of dysregulated immune response even after four months"
Small NIH study reveals how immune response triggered by COVID-19 may
"scientists found evidence that antibodies—proteins produced by the immune system in response to viruses and other invaders--are involved in an attack on the cells lining the brain’s blood vessels..." Cross-referenced in thread on Covid & immune system

Covid-19 linked to higher risk of brain conditions up to two years on
"Why covid-19 raises risk of neurological or mental health conditions is unclear...virus could persist in certain cells in the nervous system, or immune system’s efforts against the coronavirus may result in collateral brain damage"
Neurovascular injury with complement activation and inflammation in COVID-19

Covid-19 And Parkinson’s Disease Can Be A Dangerous Combination:
The viral disease has affected the brain to quite an extent. The immune response in the brain is what gets affected first and then there is the direct invasion of the coronavirus.
