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.”

Altered auditory brainstem responses are post-acute sequela of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC)
“PASC subjects showed an increased prevalence of tinnitus and more perceived hearing handicaps despite matched peripheral hearing ability, in addition to increased cognitive fatigue, anxiety, and depression.”

“In neurology/psychiatry, we would call this Apathy.
Brain damage to the frontal lobe (dorsal anterior cingulate cortex) causes apathy & reduces empathy.
SARS-CoV-2 damages this region of the brain. Every. Single. Time.
More infections = more damage = more apathy.”

SARS-CoV-2 affects Alzheimer’s disease
"Patients suffering from COVID-19 have been found to exhibit dementia-related biomarkers.. The findings of this study suggest a potential link between mild-to-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection and the initiation or acceleration of brain β-amyloid pathology, and hint at the possibility of an increased future incidence of Alzheimer’s disease subsequent to the COVID-19 pandemic."

New neuroscience research shows COVID-19 leaves mark on young adult brains
“A new study published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity has found that young adults who have recovered from COVID-19 show distinct patterns of brain activity during cognitive tasks, even if they perform normally on those tasks. These brain activity changes are similar to those seen in much older adults and are particularly pronounced in individuals reporting ‘brain fog.’”

“I’ve spoken about this numerous times since Covid ate brain, but I’m now missing The Gift of Fear. Prior to my dramatic personality/cognitive changes, I had a highly evolved internal warning system that successfully kept me alive. Now I don’t care. It could be connected to knowing nothing is going to be done since our country was hijacked by the 0.1% & deliberately broken long, long ago, & we all know everyone is going to reflexively blame The Other Side while Both Sides work together to fuck us over brunch.
