As you can imagine, there are dozens, hundreds of events like this happening at the same time in different brain regions. If you just look at the neuron channel, check how these inflammatory events in the brain disrupt the local neuronal network. #NeuroCovid

I spend my days in the microscope quantifying things like the images below. These photos show neurons 🔵 and microglia 🟣 (brain immune cells). Each #SARSCoV2 infected cell entering the brain generates this response in our Covid monkey model. #FluorescenceSaturday

New: New wave of terminations today at FDA. People arrived this morning and found out while waiting in line to go through security that they no longer worked there. A common pattern with DOGE: planning to maximize humiliation/disrespect.

We need to drastically change the way we talk about mental health in a post-covid world filled with brain injuries.

We need to talk about it and we need to take it seriously. Covid causes brain damage and brain damage causes serious mental health issues.
