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).

“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
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.

"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.’”

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.
