Long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on human brain and memory | Cell Death Discovery
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants have caused several waves of outbreaks. From the ancestral strain to Omicron variant, SARS-CoV-2 has evolved with the high transmissibility and increased immune escape against vaccines. Because of the multiple basic amino acids in the S1-S2 junction of spike protein, the widespread distribution of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor in human body and the high transmissibility, SARS-CoV-2 can infect multiple organs and has led to over 0.7 billion infectious cases. Studies showed that SARS-CoV-2 infection can cause more than 10% patients with the Long-COVID syndrome, including pathological changes in brains. This review mainly provides the molecular foundations for understanding the mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 invading human brain and the molecular basis of SARS-CoV-2 infection interfering with human brain and memory, which are associated with the immune dysfunction, syncytia-induced cell death, the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 infection, microclots and biopsychosocial aspects. We also discuss the strategies for reducing the Long-COVID syndrome. Further studies and analysis of shared researches will allow for further clarity regarding the long-term health consequences.

Penumbra of emotions…by Magic Mixture – Magic Mixture
In the shadow of emotions
Some feelings sneak up
Resentment, hurt, frustration
Pretending, hate, spite
Let’s pull the curtains
let the light in
the sun rise
the soul enlighten
We are what we grow…
It’s hard, I know
but it is possible
believe, insist
Many have already said
with every reason
With our deep thought
We can move the world!

Alberto Caeiro
” Eu não tenho filosofia: tenho sentidos…
Se falo na Natureza não é porque saiba o que ela é.
Mas porque a amo, e amo-a por isso,
Por que quem ama nunca sabe o que ama
Nem por que ama, nem o que é amar…
Alberto Caeiro
