Long COVID Breakthrough: Spike Proteins Persist in Brain for Years
“A study reveals that the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 remains in the brain long after infection, causing potential neurological issues and accelerated brain aging. mRNA vaccines help lower this risk but are not completely effective in eliminating the protein.”

Long COVID Breakthrough: Spike Proteins Persist in Brain for Years
Persistence of spike protein at the skull-meninges-brain axis may contribute to the neurological sequelae of COVID-19
Persistence of spike protein at the skull-meninges-brain axis may contribute to the neurological sequelae of COVID-19

Evidence that a COVID-19 infection can induce neurological sequelae.

The SARSCoV2 spike protein can persist in the brain—skull bone marrow and meninges—to induce neurologic damage

SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it.

In mice, it caused inflammation, anxiety, and worsened brain injuries. Vaccines reduced but did not fully eliminate it.
