Researchers at the National Centre for Neuroimmunology and Emerging Diseases (NCNED), @griffith.edu.au, studied MRI data indicating that COVID-19 infection can cause long-lasting changes to the microstructure and chemical makeup of the brain, reducing the intensity of myelin signals. #LongCOVID
Research Discovery: COVID-19 likely affects neurological health for everyone, even those who fully recover. Neurological Effects: Changes in brain tissue structure and neurochemical levels. Key Findings: While previous studies have looked at the lasting symptoms of “long COVID,” MRI scans now reveal that the infection can alter brain structure and chemical makeup, even among those who fully recover. These changes affect the signal intensity of myelin, the protective coating of nerve fibers. What's Next? Long-term follow-up studies are needed to determine if these effects change over time or affect the brain permanently.

Hi and thank you Dr. Davis.I live in Turkey, but I have no geographical restrictions for relocation. I want to work specifically in neuroscience, neuroimmunology. My areas of interest are anatomy, exercise physiology and neuroscience in my general experience. :)

We thought this immune receptor contributed to brain development and function because several groups had reported that knockout mice show anxiety-like behaviour and cognitive impairments. #behaviour #knockoutmice #neuroimmunology

Pretty alarming stuff from this study by Griffith University’s National Centre for Neuroimmunology & Emerging Disease (NCNED).
#covi̇d19 #longcovid #braindamage #coronavirus #publichealth #wekeepussafe
On a light blue background is a graphic breaking down a research study into three sections: study overview, key findings, and implications and next steps. Each section has a colored bubble that is enlarged to indicate that sections topic. The top of the graphic reads: “Who: Researchers at Griffith University’s National Centre for Neuroimmunology & Emerging Disease (NCNED).” Under the title of the graphic is an enlarged, blue bubble with the mask bloc htx logo inside the bubble with blue text reading: “mask bloc htx” with a blue KN95 mask. Under the section bubble is black text for the topic of this slide “Study Overview,” and under the topic text, in black text is the study’s results findings reading: “What: Multimodal MRI investigation of brain health in three groups: • Individuals with Long COVID • People who consider themselves fully recovered from COVID‑19 • Uninfected controls Goal: Detect subtle structural and neuro‑chemical changes that persist after infection (published: Brain, Behavior, & Immunity – Health (Nov 2025)).” The text reading: “changes that persist after infection “ is in red text. There is a smaller light green bubble to the right of the enlarged blue bubble that indicates a section for “key findings’ in black text and an orange bubble to the right of the light green bubble that indicates the section “implications and next steps” in black text as well.

Under “Key findings” is black text is the results for this study’s findings reading: “What: Gray‑matter & white‑matter alterations: • Significant differences in tissue microstructure across all brain regions examined (memory, cognition, overall brain health) • Neuro‑chemical shifts • MRI spectroscopy revealed altered concentrations of metabolites linked to neuronal integrity and inflammation • Present in “recovered” participants • Even participants who reported no lingering symptoms showed measurable changes, not just those with Long COVID.” The text reading: “Significant differences in tissue microstructure across all brain regions examined (memory, cognition, overall brain health)” is in red text, as well as text reading: “Even participants who reported no lingering symptoms showed measurable changes, not just those with Long COVID.” Under the text describing the topic of this slide is smaller blue section bubble with black text underneath that reads: “Study Overview.” Next to this section bubble is an enlarged light green section bubble with the mask bloc htx logo inside the bubble with blue text reading: “mask bloc htx” with a blue KN95 mask.

🧠🦠 New preprint out!

Systemic inflammation fundamentally reshapes amyloid plaques — shifting them toward non-compacted, filamentous Aβ states that strongly predict neuritic damage across mouse models and human Alzheimer’s disease.

#Alzheimers #Neuroimmunology #Microglia #Amyloid #PET #Inflammation
Non-compacted, PET-insensitive amyloid states increase after systemic inflammation and predict neuritic damage across Aβ pathology models and Alzheimer patients
Neuroinflammation is a key modulator of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk, yet the impact of non-genetic inflammatory risk factors – such as systemic inflammation – remains poorly defined. Building on our...

Genesung von COVID-19 keine Symptome mehr aufweisen, können dennoch Langzeitfolgen des Virus auf das Gehirn haben“, so Studienautor Kiran Thapaliya, wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am National Centre for Neuroimmunology and Emerging Diseases.

COVID-19 infection may alter brain microstructure even in people who fully recover
Researchers have found that individuals with no lingering COVID-19 symptoms still exhibit distinct changes in brain tissue integrity and neurochemistry compared to those who were never infected.

Prof. Bo Peng’s work is truly inspiring. His research on microglia replacement shows how fundamental neuroimmunology can be translated into real clinical impact. I listened to the seminar on my way to the clinic this morning and was very glad to be introduced to his work.👏🏻
