Alzheimer's-like brain changes found in long COVID patients
“New research from the University of Kentucky's Sanders-Brown Center on Aging shows compelling evidence that the cognitive impairments observed in long COVID patients share striking similarities with those seen in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.”
Parallel electrophysiological abnormalities due to COVID‐19 infection and to Alzheimer's disease and related dementia
“Resting-state EEG abnormalities include EEG slowing (reduced alpha rhythm; increased slow waves) and epileptiform activity. An expert panel conducted a systematic review to present compelling evidence that cognitive deficits due to COVID-19 and to Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) are driven by overlapping pathologies and neurophysiological abnormalities. EEG abnormalities seen in COVID-19 patients resemble those observed in early stages of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly ADRD”
UK researchers find Alzheimer’s-like brain changes in long COVID patients

Does Long COVID Lead to Alzheimer's? A New Study Took an Unexpected Turn
“More than one in ten people who catch COVID don’t fully recover — developing a chronic condition called Long COVID which causes a variety of debilitating symptoms, including brain fog. Since some studies have found that COVID infections are associated with overall brain shrinkage, altered brain structure, and an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s, researchers have been investigating the links between COVID and Alzheimer’s.”
