Understanding the Impact of COVID-19 on Personality and Brain Function: A Grim Reality or a Wake-Up Call?
“A nightmare scenario would be if mankind were targeted by a pathogen that attacks our frontal lobes and changes our personalities. Such a pathogen could bring an end to society as we know it. Unfortunately, the nightmare may be real and taking shape in SARS-CoV-2.”
Have you developed symptoms of ADHD since 2020? Or has your ADHD deteriorated since 2020? The frontal lobe is the largest part of the brain affected by ADHD, often maturing at a slower pace with disrupted activity & connectivity. Covid damages the frontal & temporal lobes. 🧵 https://t.co/Jhu5XWJjfE— James Throt MBBS, MD, PhD, FRCPath (@JamesThrot) March 3, 2025

New neuroscience research shows COVID-19 leaves mark on young adult brains
“A new study published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity has found that young adults who have recovered from COVID-19 show distinct patterns of brain activity during cognitive tasks, even if they perform normally on those tasks. These brain activity changes are similar to those seen in much older adults and are particularly pronounced in individuals reporting ‘brain fog.’”

“I’ve spoken about this numerous times since Covid ate brain, but I’m now missing The Gift of Fear. Prior to my dramatic personality/cognitive changes, I had a highly evolved internal warning system that successfully kept me alive. Now I don’t care. It could be connected to knowing nothing is going to be done since our country was hijacked by the 0.1% & deliberately broken long, long ago, & we all know everyone is going to reflexively blame The Other Side while Both Sides work together to fuck us over brunch. Why worry about things we’re going to pretend away?”
Does COVID increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease?
“Scientists discover that even mild COVID-19 can alter brain proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease, potentially increasing dementia risk—raising urgent public health concerns.”

“Patients with COVID-19 can present with numerous otolaryngologic conditions, such as Bell palsy (BP)”

Plasma proteomic evidence for increased β-amyloid pathology after SARS-CoV-2 infection
UK study of 1,252 people finds SARS-CoV-2 may accelerate Alzheimer’s-related brain changes.
Infected individuals showed shifts in key biomarkers, with greater effects in hospitalized patients and those with hypertension.
we measured plasma biomarkers linked to Alzheimer’s disease pathology in the UK Biobank before and after serology-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections. SARS-CoV-2 infection was associated with biomarkers associated with β-amyloid pathology: reduced plasma Aβ42:Aβ40 ratio and, in more vulnerable participants, lower plasma Aβ42 and higher plasma pTau-181.

Neurological syndromes associated with COVID-19: a multicenter study in Brazil - BMC Infectious Diseases
“197 patients were included, presenting with vascular syndromes (81), encephalopathy (68), encephalitis (19), Guillain-Barré syndrome (13), other neuropathies (12), and myelitis (4). The incidence curve of neurocovid mirrored that of COVID-19. Neurological syndromes were present regardless of COVID-19 severity. The median time from COVID-19 to onset of neurological symptoms was 14 days, suggesting a post-infectious immune-mediated mechanism.”
