Long COVID’s Lingering Impact: Brain Function Changes Can Persist for Months
People with long COVID have abnormal brain activity during memory tests, months after their initial COVID-19 infection, with less activity in the regions normally used for memory tasks, but more activity in other areas of the brain.

Could a Viral Illness Increase Chances of Developing Alzheimer’s or Other Neurodegenerative Disease?
Study reveals a significant association between certain viral illnesses, including viral encephalitis and pneumonia-causing flu with an increased risk of developing a neurodegenerative disorder later in life. Researchers say existing vaccines against the viruses may reduce the chances of developing neurodegeneration.

Olfactory Viral Inflammation Associated With Accelerated Onset of Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease onset may be accelerated by viruses that inflame and disrupt signals from the olfactory system to the hippocampus, a new study reports.
