Very comprehensive evaluation of known neurological damage from SarsCov2:
“The pathogenesis of neurological disorders caused by SARS-CoV-2 involves several mechanisms. First, SARS-CoV-2 could enter the brain through retrograde transmission & hematogenous routes & disrupt brain function & structure, thus causing or exacerbating neurological disorders…”

SARS2 can invade your brain.
All variants are neuroinvasive.
Neuroinvasion and anosmia are independent phenomena upon infection.
SARS2 can travel retrogradely and anterogradely along axons in neuron-epithelial networks.

New findings in JAMA Psychiatry find that levels of mental illness such as depression, anxiety and self-harm are elevated after a COVID-19 diagnosis
“‘…there is evidence of fragments or an inflammatory kind of a massive inflammatory response that occurs triggered by COVID. And those inflammatory markers we tend to notice in the brain.’
And that could cause something called COVID-19 Cognitive Impairment.
‘And we are going to compare people with COVID cognitive impairment. To be clear on this, I think that COVID can cause cognitive impairment and maybe even dementia…’”
Yet another stretch for one size fits all explanation of a multifaceted condition. Still, important finding:
“A groundbreaking study from the University of Colorado Boulder has uncovered a potential mechanism behind the persistent neurological symptoms experienced by many Long COVID sufferers. The research, published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, points to a significant drop in cortisol levels in the brain as a possible culprit, offering new insights into this complex and widespread condition.”
