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.”

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.”

Thread on Twitter: New study documents the case of two previously healthy sisters - 11 and 13-years-old - with new-onset cognitive decline after mild covid. The ability of their brains to consume glucose had been impaired - an initiating factor for dementia, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease 🧵
COVID-19 could put us at a greater risk of neurodegenerative diseases and stroke
"Analysis of nearly one million Danish health records has found patients who tested positive for COVID-19 were subsequently more likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and stroke."
New study shows SARS-CoV-2 infection accelerates the progression of dementia
"All subtypes of dementia, irrespective of patients’ previous dementia types, behaved like rapidly progressive dementia following COVID-19, according to the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease Reports"
The Race to Unravel COVID’s Hidden Link to Alzheimer’s
"In some brains, COVID causes molecular changes that mirror those seen in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s, leading some scientists to believe that long COVID may be an atypical form of the memory-destroying disorder."
COVID-19 May Accelerate Alzheimer's and Other Cognitive Issues
There is no mild Covid.
"These new data point to disturbing trends showing COVID-19 infections leading to lasting cognitive impairment and even Alzheimer’s symptoms,”
