“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.”

It’s very frightening for many to even consider that #COVID infections are causing neurological damage but there are scans now. It’s impacting the frontal lobe. This is going to change society. The sooner we confront this the better or the damage will continue.🧵

A Peripheral Neuron-to-Microglia Signaling Axis Connecting Transient Viral Infection to Persistent Neuroinflammatory States | Research Square
A Peripheral Neuron-to-Microglia Signaling Axis Connecting Transient Viral Infection to Persistent Neuroinflammatory States | Research Square

How does a transient viral infection like COVID lead to long lasting neurologic symptoms?

In humans and in animal models, SARS-CoV-2 can damage peripheral sensory nerves in the nose, leaving behind debris that can then trigger inflammation in brain microglia for weeks to months after infection, which can then lead to post-viral neurological symptoms like cognitive dysfunction (brain fog).

The peripheral neuron-to-microglia axis offers a potential explanation for persistent inflammation seen in conditions like Long COVID and ME/CFS.

Neuropsychiatric Risks Linked to COVID-19 Revealed
Neuropsychiatric Risks Linked to COVID-19 Revealed

New Nature study shows SARS2 significantly elevates the risk of neuropsychiatric conditions including anxiety, mood disorders, cognitive impairment and psychotic disorders for up to 6 months.

“Alarmingly, even individuals with mild or asymptomatic infections face elevated risk.”

“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.

Frontiers | Serum angiotensin type-1 receptor autoantibodies and neurofilament light chain as markers of neuroaxonal damage in post-COVID patients
“Dysregulation of autoimmune responses and the presence of autoantibodies (AA), particularly those related to the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), have been implicated in the acute phase of COVID-19, and persistent dysregulation of brain RAS by RAS-related autoantibodies may also contribute to neurological symptoms of post-COVID.”

Mapping brain changes in post-COVID-19 cognitive decline via FDG PET hypometabolism and EEG slowing
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.
