Furthermore, in people with Alzheimer’s, the SARS-CoV-2 virus disrupts the blood-brain barrier integrity and causes neuroinflammation that can make dementia worse.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the brain from harmful molecules and infections. COVID-19 and the Long COVID syndrome have neurologic and psychiatric effects. This article presents three studies that show evidence that the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 can cross the BBB and wreak havoc by itself. Endothelial cells line the inside of the BBB, and…
