Molecular Imaging Findings on Acute and Long-Term Effects of COVID-19 on the Brain: A Systematic Review
“Molecular imaging techniques such as PET and SPECT have been used to shed light on how coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects the human brain. We provide a systematic review that summarizes the current literature according to 5 predominant topics.”

“Long COVID primarily presents with persistent cognitive impairment (Cog-LC), imposing a substantial and lasting global burden. Even after the pandemic, there remains a critical global need for diagnostic and therapeutic strategies targeting Cog-LC.”

New study reveals molecular basis of Long COVID brain fog
New study reveals molecular basis of Long COVID brain fog
“the researchers found a notable and widespread increase in the density of AMPARs across the brains of patients. This elevated receptor density was directly correlated with the severity of their cognitive impairment, suggesting a clear link between these molecular changes and the symptoms. Additionally, the concentrations of various inflammatory markers were also correlated with AMPAR levels, indicating a possible interaction between inflammation and receptor expression.”

“Covid damages the part of your brain (frontal lobe) which is responsible for empathy, emotional regulation & overcoming self-centeredness.

This will facilitate immorality.

Each & every infection you have causes damage.

Many are on infection 4 (or more).

Signed, a neurologist.”

It’s very frightening for many to even consider that #COVID infections are causing neurological damage but there are scans now. It’s impacting the frontal lobe. This is going to change society. The sooner we confront this the better or the damage will continue.🧵

“Let’s talk about COVID, brain damage & society.

Specifically, what happens when a neurotropic virus repeatedly infects the population, targeting the frontal lobe & almost nobody talks about the consequences?

This thread is for the skeptics.

I’m a neurologist, stay with me 🧵”

Mapping brain changes in post-COVID-19 cognitive decline via FDG PET hypometabolism and EEG slowing
Mapping brain changes in post-COVID-19 cognitive decline via FDG PET hypometabolism and EEG slowing
Cognitive decline is a common symptom of post-COVID-19 syndrome. However, the mechanisms underlying this deficit remain poorly understood. This study aims to investigate the relationship between brain metabolic and neurophysiological alteration patterns in patients with persistent subjective cognitive decline after mild COVID-19 using joint FDG-PET and EEG analyses.

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.”

“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.”

“11 studies (involving 939,824 post-COVID-19 survivors and 6,765,117 controls) were included in the review. Across a median observation period of 12 months post-COVID, the overall incidence of NOD was about 1.82% in the COVID-infected group, compared to 0.35% in the non-COVID-infected group. The overall pooled meta-analysis showed a significantly increased NOD risk among COVID-19 older adult survivors compared to non-COVID-19 controls”

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.”
