Potential Prion Involvement in Long COVID-19 Neuropathology, Including Behavior. Prion’ is a term used to describe a protein infectious particle responsible for several neurodegenerative diseases in mammals, e.g., Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The novelty is that it …
Dysfunctional mitochondrial processes contribute to energy perturbations in the brain and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Mitochondria are complex endosymbionts that evolved from primordial purple nonsulfur bacteria. The incorporation of bacteria-derived mitochondria facilitates a more efficient and effective …
HIV, HSV, SARS-CoV-2 and Ebola Share Long-Term Neuropsychiatric Sequelae. Long COVID, in which disease-related symptoms persist for months after recovery, has led to a revival of the discussion of whether neuropsychiatric long-term symptoms after viral …
Viruses Broaden the Definition of Life by Genomic Incorporation of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Processes. Viruses have been classified as non-living because they require a cellular host to support their replicative processes. Empirical investigations …
Reassessment of the blood-brain barrier: a potential target for viral entry into the immune-privileged brain. Significant alteration of cognitive and affective behaviors mediated by neural pathways in the central nervous system (CNS), currently referred to as …
Biomedical Perspectives of Acute and Chronic Neurological and Neuropsychiatric Sequelae of COVID-19. The incidence of infections from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiologic agent for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has dramatically escalated …
SARS-CoV-2, Trait Anxiety, and the Microbiome. During the COVID-19 pandemic, research on the relationships between the virus and its human host has become fundamental to understand this pathology and its effects. Attaining this profound understanding …
Editorial: The Pathogenesis of Long-Term Neuropsychiatric COVID-19 and the Role of Microglia, Mitochondria, and Persistent Neuroinflammation. Persistent comorbidities occur in patients who initially recover from acute coronavirus disease 2019 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34016942/(COVID-19) due to infection with severe …
