COVID-19 infection associated with increased risk of new-onset vascular dementia in older adults
COVID-19 infection associated with increased risk of new-onset vascular dementia in older adults
COVID-19 infection linked to a 41% higher risk of developing new-onset vascular dementia in older adults, with researchers warning that the virus may have lasting effects on brain and vascular health even after recovery.

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.”

“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.

Human challenge study reveals lasting cognitive decline after mild COVID-19

“significant memory and executive function decline lasting up to a year, despite no reported subjective symptoms, prompting new questions about the virus’s long-term cognitive effects.”

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.

Lacking focus, tired always? Could be brain fog

“Brain fog may gradually evolve into a slight memory problem, difficulty finding the right word for things, objects, situations and then registering new information.”

A widely held notion is that SARS2 activates our immune systems, causing an inflammatory response in the brain.

Cognitive Slowing, Dysfunction in Verbal Working Memory, Divided Attention and Response Inhibition in Post COVID-19 Condition in Young Adults

The present study revealed that in YOUNG adults, university students, without other comorbidities, there can be significant long-lasting cognitive impairments TWO YEARS after COVID-19 infection."

➡️"Specifically, verbal working memory was significantly impaired, and a lower performance was detected in divided attention and response inhibition.”

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.”

“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.”
