Investigating the Neuroimmune, Cerebrovascular, and Cognitive Disturbances Associated with SARS‑CoV‑2 Infection: A Systematic Review of Post‑Acute Outcomes | Research Square
“A systematic review of 73,435 COVID-19 survivors found that 42% had persistent neuroinflammation, 22% had cerebrovascular injury, and 58% had cognitive impairment.”
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.”
