Neuroinvasion and anosmia are independent phenomena upon infection with SARS-CoV-2 and its variants
Neuroinvasion and anosmia are independent phenomena upon infection with SARS-CoV-2 and its variants

SARS2 can invade your brain.

All variants are neuroinvasive.

Neuroinvasion and anosmia are independent phenomena upon infection.

SARS2 can travel retrogradely and anterogradely along axons in neuron-epithelial networks.

“On MRI conducted during the game, loss of smell was associated with decreased functional activity during decision-making, loss of white-matter integrity, and thinning of the outer layer of the cerebrum in the parietal regions (responsible for processing sensory input, understanding spatial relationships, and how to navigate).”
