@whn: How does COVID-19 impact the brain? Neuroscientist #DanielleBeckman and expert #DavidJoffe discuss direct neuronal effects and sleep disorders in Long COVID patients, and the importance of thorough evaluations for accurate diagnoses.
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."

I'm excited to see this study out! #SARSCoV2 persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull and meninges. Vaccines help but cannot stop it.
Which organs are affected by SARS-CoV-2 vs. H1N1 influenza? Check below. #NeuroCovid

People don't realize that many patients with
#LongCovid are now being treated in Brain Injury Clinics, together with patients recovering from traumatic brain injury after a concussion. It's been hard to keep up with the literature, here is one published yesterday #NeuroCovid
More road accidents and bad drivers since the pandemic!? 
Only the tip of the iceberg...
#Covid19 can infect neurons and induce neuroinflammation and cell death.
Size of the iceberg: We are just starting to discover. Science takes time.

New #LongCovid study from Austria:
Changes in thalamic functional connectivity in post-Covid patients with and without fatigue
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811924003859
“These findings suggest a potential neural mechanism underlying post-Covid fatigue”

"Results showed that #neuroCOVID patients can present a significant metabolic brain connectivity alteration in RSN from the acute/subacute to long-term phase. The EXN and ATTN were the most affected networks, showing a compensatory hyperconnectivity in the acute/subacute phase followed by hypoconnectivity in the long-term."
