"Incidence of Epilepsy and Seizures Over the First 6 Months After a COVID-19 Diagnosis
A Retrospective Cohort Study:"
"COVID-19 infections increase risk of long-term brain problems
Strokes, seizures, memory and movement disorders among problems that develop in first year after infection"
‘A silent killer’ - COVID-19 shown to trigger inflammation in the brain
Research led by The University of Queensland has found COVID-19 activates the same inflammatory response in the brain as Parkinson’s disease
Comprehensive explainer thread: Nature: Enhanced replication of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.2 in human forebrain and midbrain organoids: BA.2 replicated more efficiently & triggered substantially higher levels of apoptosis (cell death) in the infected human forebrain and midbrain organoids.
"Long Covid changes the human brain. We may finally know how
Lost connections between nerve cells in the brain may explain cognitive symptoms such as brain fog and memory lapses."
Starting thread on potential treatments for anosmia / parosmia (loss of/altered smell & taste) "Randomized clinical trial olfactory dysfunction after COVID-19: olfactory rehabilitation therapy vs. intervention treatment w/ Palmitoylethanolamide & Luteolin"
"Roughly 5% of people who experience smell loss during COVID-19 will develop long-term anosmia, according to Dr. Bradley J. Goldstein, an ear, nose and throat doctor at Duke University Hospital.
The impact is more drastic than most people realize."
