Once we thought it would be nearly impossible to modulate #LongCovid in rodent models, but science is getting there. More evidence for direct #COVID neuroinvasion, viral persistence in the brain , and more explanations for cognitive and psychiatric alterations... #NeuroCovid

What happens when you compare brain scans from people before and after the pandemic started? A new study with 996 participants shows the pandemic accelerated brain aging for all, but those infected with COVID also presented reduced cognitive performance. #NeuroCovid #LongCovid

It's important to notice that 'uninfected' is not a guarantee. Many people who think they have never had COVID, were asymptomatic

A new study in Psychiatry Research (2024) uses #fNIRS to identify disrupted brain activity in #LongCOVID patients, linking these changes to persistent symptoms like fatigue and cognitive dysfunction 🧠😶‍🌫️

A paper came out today at
#NatureNeuro
showing neuroinflammation, microglia activation, and myelin loss associated with #NeuroCovid. I have been seeing and showing the same data. It is consistent across monkeys and humans.

Such an important comment on
#Nature from Oct. The shift from 'Alzheimer' to 'Alzheimer and related dementias (ADRD)' allows funding for other conditions that cause neurodegeneration and memory loss, like #NeuroCovid. #LongCovid

"A friend asked me if I don't fear 'getting scooped' after constantly posting my preliminary data on #NeuroCovid online before publishing it in scientific manuscripts. Absolutely not. #LongCovid is a public health crisis. There is no time to waste with authorship competition."
