Profound Brain Changes Found in Patients Who Died of COVID-19

The most comprehensive molecular study to date of brain tissue from people who died of COVID-19 provides clear evidence that SARS-CoV-2 causes profound molecular changes in the brain, despite no molecular trace of the virus in brain tissue.
"The signature the virus leaves in the brain speaks of strong inflammation and disrupted brain circuits and resembles signatures the field has observed in Alzheimer's or other neurodegenerative diseases," senior author Tony Wyss-Coray, PhD, professor of neurology and neurological sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California,
