A research letter from 2022 highlighting the effects of even "mild" covid on the brain.

Dear Editor,

A recent study published in Nature by Douaud and colleagues1 shows that SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with longitudinal effects, particularly on brain structures linked to the olfactory cortex, modestly accelerated reduction in global brain volume, and enhanced cognitive decline. Thus, even mild COVID-19 can be associated with long-lasting deleterious effects on brain structure and function.

Loss of smell and taste are amongst the earliest and most common effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In addition, headaches, memory problems, confusion, or loss of speech and motility occur in some individuals.2 While important progress has been made in understanding SARS-CoV-2-associated neurological manifestations, the underlying mechanisms are under debate and most knowledge stems from analyses of hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19.2 Most infected individuals, however, develop mild to moderate disease and recover without hospitalization. Whether or not mild COVID-19 is associated with long-term neurological manifestations and structural changes indicative of brain damage remained largely unknown.

Douaud and co-workers examined 785 participants of the UK Biobank (www.ukbiobank.ac.uk) who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) twice with an average inter-scan interval of 3.2 years, and 401 individuals testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection between MRI acquisitions (Fig. 1a). Strengths of the study are the large number of samples, the availability of scans obtained before and after infection, and the multi-parametric quantitative analyses of serial MRI acquisitions.1 These comprehensive and automated analyses with a non-infected control group allowed the authors to dissect consistent brain changes caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection from pre-existing conditions. Altogether, the MRI scan processing pipeline used extracted more than 2,000 features, named imaging-derived phenotypes (IDPs), from each participant’s imaging data. Initially, the authors focused on IDPs involved in the olfactory system. In agreement with the frequent impairment of smell and taste in COVID-19, they found greater atrophy and indicators of increased tissue damage in the anterior cingulate cortex, orbitofrontal cortex and insula, as well as in the ventral striatum, amygdala, hippocampus and para-hippocampal gyrus, which are connected to the primary olfactory cortex (Fig. 1b). Taking advantage of computational models allowing to differentiate changes related to SARS-CoV-2 infection from physiological age-related brain changes (e.g. decreases of brain volume with aging),3 they also explored IDPs covering the entire brain. Although most individuals experienced only mild symptoms of COVID-19, the authors detected an accelerated reduction in whole-brain volume and more pronounced cognitive declines associated with increased atrophy of a cognitive lobule of the cerebellum (crus II) in individuals with SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to the control group. These differences remained significant when 15 people who required hospitalization were excluded. Most brain changes for IDPs were moderate (average differences between the two groups of 0.2–2.0%, largest for volume of parahippocampal gyrus and entorhinal cortex) and accelerated brain volume loss was “only” observed in 56–62% of infected participants. Nonetheless, these results strongly suggest that even clinically mild COVID-19 might induce long-term structural alterations of the brain and cognitive impairment.

The study provides unique insights into COVID-19-associated changes in brain structure. The authors took great care in appropriately matching the case and control groups, making it unlikely that observed differences are due to confounding factors, although this possibility can never be entirely excluded. The mechanisms underlying these infection-associated changes, however, remain to be clarified. Viral neurotropism and direct infection of cells of the olfactory system, neuroinflammation and lack of sensory input have been suggested as reasons for the degenerative events in olfactory-related brain structures and neurological complications.4 These mechanisms are not mutually exclusive and may synergize in causing neurodegenerative disorders as consequence of COVID-19.

The study participants became infected between March 2020 and April 2021, before the emergence of the Omicron variant of concern (VOC) that currently dominates the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time period, the Alpha and Beta VOCs dominated in the UK and all results were obtained from individuals between 51 and 81 years of age. It will be of great interest to clarify whether Omicron, that seems to be less pathogenic than other SARS-CoV-2 variants, also causes long-term brain damage. The vaccination status of the participants was not available in the study1 and it will be important to clarify whether long-term changes in brain structure also occur in vaccinated and/or younger individuals. Other important questions are whether these structural changes are reversible or permanent and may even enhance the frequency for neurodegenerative diseases that are usually age-related, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or Huntington’s disease. Previous findings suggest that cognitive disorders improve over time after severe COVID-19;5 yet it remains to be determined whether the described brain changes will translate into symptoms later in life such as dementia. Douaud and colleagues report that none of top 10 IDPs correlated significantly with the time interval between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the 2nd MRI acquisition, suggesting that the observed abnormalities might be very long-lasting.

Currently, many restrictions and protective measures are relaxed because Omicron is highly transmissible but usually causes mild to moderate acute disease. This raises hope that SARS-CoV-2 may evolve towards reduced pathogenicity and become similar to circulating coronaviruses causing mild respiratory infections. More work needs to be done to clarify whether the current Omicron and future variants of SARS-CoV-2 may also cause lasting brain abnormalities and whether these can be prevented by vaccination or therapy. However, the finding by Douaud and colleagues1 that SARS-CoV-2 causes structural changes in the brain that may be permanent and could relate to neurological decline is of concern and illustrates that the pathogenesis of this virus is markedly different from that of circulating human coronaviruses. Further studies, to elucidate the mechanisms underlying COVID-19-associated neurological abnormalities and how to prevent or reverse them are urgently needed.

Addiction

A/N: Hi friends! This is my first time posting anything related to Bones, but I’ve binged 12 seasons in less than a month and it has to come out somewhere, so here it is!

Read on AO3

--

A character study of Seeley Booth that ties in the Pilot and The Parts in the Sum of the Whole.

--

He’s an addict. 

Addiction was etched in his genes, grown from the tang of bourbon that stained his father’s breath. His father was addicted to dark liquor, to swinging his hand against his mother’s cheek, to the crunch of his and Jared’s ribs underneath his knuckles. Bones talks relentlessly about statistics and certainties, of predicted outcomes based on probabilities. 

“Statistics allows you to validate claims based on quantitative evidence, Booth. It’s a crucial process in scientific expansion!”

The evidence of his life would all predict the same outcome - all the numbers and equations leading to the same conclusion. The remodeled fractures on his ribs that Bones had pointed out on his x-rays, the few and far between moments from his childhood that weren’t stained by a well-hidden bottle of whiskey and his father’s shadow looming behind him. The tally he keeps - 48, 49, 50 notches scratched on the back of a leather pocket notebook he carried in his gun case throughout his tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. The other tally of 19 names, all brothers, and their next of kin’s contact information. The remnants of a sharp, burning pain as the butt of a rifle smashed each of his toes individually, tones of the Tehrani accent heavy on his captor’s tongue. 

Blood drenched his fatigues, both of his comrades and his enemies. If Bones ever successfully convinced him to do an MRI, she would find traces of the bullets that inscribed his bones. She would point out where shrapnel entered his lower back in Shindhad after he shielded the green private whose lower legs were blown off by an IED during a routine patrol. The bullet that wedged itself too close to his lungs in Mosul after an explosives raid went sideways by an ambush. Many more injuries that he brushed off as flesh wounds, his pain always ebbed away by the adrenaline that flooded into his veins with every close brush with death.

A laundry list of scars and traumas - he drowns in nightmares and holy water, hoping that God will eventually grant him mercy from the panic and pain that the war had woven into him. The beads of his rosary leave imprints on his palms, his knees cracking from the hours spent on them, praying for the safe passage of fallen soldiers and avoiding thoughts of the Sixth Commandment. 

But the nightmares follow him, as do the screams, and he just wants it to stop.  

Booth tries to avoid the bottle - always limiting himself to two whiskey doubles or no more than four beers. He drinks to dull, not to forget, not like his father. Not like Jared, who’s been bound to the bottle since he took a swig from the whiskey wedged between empty boxes of laundry soap in their garage at the age of 13. He tries not to be resilient, tries not to drink except on certain days, but it quickly becomes too much. He wants to feel something, anything, that wasn’t the guilt, the shame, the sorrow. 

He placed his first bet in Iraq while his unit was on patrol. The burning desert sun beating on his back as enthusiasm for their next hot meal had grown into a bet on what food was being served at the mess that night. Booth had seen what shipments had come in two days before and was confident that the shipment of ground beef and tomato sauce would result in chili. Phillips, three years his senior and had a gnarly hook that caught him on the chin during training last week, slipped him a fistful of twenties and tens after dinner that night. 

He stuffed the cash in his foot locker and joined betting pools for other things - fifty bucks to the person who could disassemble and reassemble their firearm the fastest, twenty to whoever could guess what time the visiting Sergeant snuck into their Corporal’s private quarters. There were a group of specialists who were Rangers fans and he egged them on to bet 50 each on the Flyers winning 3-1. 

Booth racked in $800 that night. More money than he’d ever earned in a week. His pay was shit, not nearly enough to take off the edge of all the hits he’s taken. Rebecca had called him earlier that day, tears thick in her voice when she said pregnant and father. He had just started his third tour. His deployment was 12 months and he was only three months in. She was alone in DC and he was in Baghdad. If he keeps winning, he can provide for her, for them. 

It has nothing to do with the feeling of winning, of the elation that God had twisted the tides in his favor. 

He gets an honorable discharge after he gets captured - he can’t keep up with the long distances, his once broken toes unable to stand being in his combat boots for hours. But he’s good with a gun and someone had taken notice. Some sargeant from the Rangers shows up at the hospital, telling him that with his abilities he could be a sniper. He could keep serving his country and didn’t need to end his career. There’s something about going back into war that makes his stomach curl and he says he’ll think about it. He gets sent back to the States and watches his son enter the world, loud yet so tiny and fragile and swears to protect him, to make the world a better place for him. 

Parker is three months old when he’s called in - one of the Ranger squads had lost someone and they needed help. National security, they said. For your country. He tells Rebecca that they should marry before he goes, that he wants Parker to have a complete family. 

“I’m so sorry, Seeley. I love you, I do, but I can’t do it.” 

They ask more from him. From surveillance to assassinating a member of the Shura council. His hand is steady when he flexes his finger over the trigger, delivering a clean bullet right between the eyes. A piercing wail fills the air. They chant his name, both a plea and a prayer. His stomach turns and he’s almost sick on his shoes, but he did it for Parker, for his country. They tell him he is a hero, the potential destruction that could have happened, but all he dreams of is the chant of a dead man’s name. 

But there are more members, more high ranking officers who are threats to their democracy, their freedom. Soon, he perfects it. The most accurate shot in their entire base, a moniker Booth wears with honor. To him, shooting is as easy as breathing, his rifle simply an extension of him. He adapts to the sweltering air, the arid climate, and learns how to ignore the sweat that beads on his eyebrow and drips onto his scope.

He feels that same rush, the flood of adrenaline, every time he hits a shot. Booth is good at what he does. He’s meticulous - he shifts his barrel based on the slope of the terrain beneath them, listens to the wind and does a rough estimate of his bullet’s trajectory as he aims downsight. He can read the differences in rooms full of high-ranking officials and rooms full of insurgents with AK-47s slung across their backs. He makes observations and adjusts accordingly, takes smart shots, misses only a handful. 

He counts his shots and tallies the lives he takes. By the 20th life, he feels something shift. By the 30th, he’s two years into being a Ranger and six months being a sergeant. He leads his own men, his own unit. By the 50th life, he’s lost too many men, too much blood is dripping from his fatigues and he can’t stand it anymore. He goes to the chapel when he can, whispers scared confessions into Aldo’s ear, and he’s not surprised when Aldo tells him one afternoon that God is a bastard. 

Suddenly, the sweltering desert air starts to suffocate him. There’s too much death, too much destruction around him and he feels like he’s losing himself. He’s trained not to sleep, to keep your guard up at every second of every day, but soon his nightmares start to chase away the little sleep he could have. At the end of his fourth tour, he doesn’t renew his contract. He flies back to DC, starts taking Parker on the weekends, and spends every moment between his time with his son trying to keep his demons at bay. 

In the idleness between his visits with Parker, the war comes back to haunt him. Nightmares of men he’s lost, brothers and friends, every life he’s seized before their time, every person he couldn’t save. Booth thinks of all the things he’s lost and wonders why God wouldn’t grant him a win. 

On a random Tuesday after three nights of recurring nightmares, he ends up on a Greyhound headed to Atlantic City. He bets $100 on a blackjack table and wins $2,300 in return when a King of Hearts is flipped up over his Ace. He takes it as a sign that God was finally making up for the shit hand he’s been dealt, and bets another $300. 

He’s only left with $500 at the end of the night, but it was still more than the $100 he had started with. He’s finally winning, gaining something instead of losing it. 

It quickly slips out of control. He keeps chasing it, keeps going for little tastes of victory among the hundreds of losses, and soon he can’t pay for rent. He owes so much money to his bookie after someone at the casino had told him about sports betting and the Flyers were having a shit season. Rebecca never asks for child support but Parker gets sick with pneumonia and needs to go to the hospital after he contracts a secondary infection. He tells Pops that he needs help because Parker is sick and his old man gives him $500 in old bills that he had put aside for Parker’s college fund. 

The money gets sucked into horses because he read in the paper that Stardust hadn’t lost five races in a row and they could use a little more money. Stardust breaks a leg on the track, and he burns with shame when he tells Rebecca that he doesn’t have anything . Luckily, Parker improves, and Rebecca’s new lawyer boyfriend offers to help with the bills. He almost gets evicted because he’s two months late on rent, subsisting on feeble meals of boxed mac and cheese and grilled sandwiches, when God gives him grace. 

An old army buddy had told him that they were looking for agents at the FBI; it was a few months of training, but it was a steady paycheck. He throws himself into training at the Academy, has less time to gamble but when his evaluation to be a Special Agent comes around, he’s flagged during a background check. 

“Addicts will do anything to get their fix. It’s a breeding ground for corruption. We cannot have such individuals representing the Agency, Mr. Booth.” 

The psychologist assigned to him had told him that if he managed to get his gambling addiction under control, that he would be an excellent addition to the FBI. The elderly man pushed up his wire frame glasses up his liver-spotted nose as he gave Booth some resources on help for veterans and told him of the Gamblers Anonymous meetings that happened on Mondays and Thursdays in the basement of the Catholic church up the street. 

He attends his meetings and gets a sponsor. He talks in group therapy about the things he’s seen and he feels a little less alone when a few veterans in his group speak up. He acknowledges that he has a problem, that he’s an addict like his father. He pinches pennies and apologizes to the landlord for the late rent, trying to pay him at least once a week to make up for the last two months. Soon, his re-evaluation comes and he passes with flying colors.  

He slips once in a while - bets $50 on an upcoming Flyers game, bets $40 that he can beat a biker at pool, but he doesn’t let it run his life anymore. He focuses on being a good agent and a good father. Two years into being a Special Agent, Jocelyn Arrington comes calling, pleading for help. She reminds him of a mother of one of his men lost in a rescue mission gone south named Paul Adams. She had collapsed into his arms, much like Jocelyn did, when they released Paul’s remains to her after he was executed by insurgents. Another bereaved mother pleads for help and he’s not about to deny her the closure so few people got. 

But the case is bare bones, only a few scraps of evidence and split jurisdictions led only to dead end after dead end. He confides in Camille, the now Chief Coroner of New York that he had gotten into a friends with benefits type of relationship during his first few cases as a special agent, and she suggests that he looks at Gemma Arrington from a different perspective. 

She tells him of a forensic anthropologist, one of the best, that had solved a 400 year old murder. He’s skeptical of the use of forensics because knowing your suspect is more important but the only leads he had led him nowhere. He figures that it’s worth a shot. 

Camille had said that a Dr. Temperance Brennan was teaching An Alternative Approach to Traditional Bone Cleaning Methods for Forensic Practice in a series of lectures this week at American University. Booth imagines a stuffy old academic, dressed in clothes mostly made of wool and smelled of old books. He imagines someone in their early 50s to late 60s at most, to garner the high regard that the Chief Coroner of New York held for the scientist. 

Instead, he walks into the lecture hall and is met with a woman who is probably a few years his junior, commanding the room with such rapport and attention. She speaks with certainty, as if dictating pre-written information from an invisible book in front of her, and every single person has their attention solely on her. 

He’s not surprised when she steals his attention, too. There’s something in her blue eyes that he’s drawn to, like there was a story between them that’s waiting to be written. He wants to know if she feels it too. 

“Do you believe in fate?” He asks her. 

“Absolutely not. Ludicrous.” 

She doesn’t believe in fate, but he can’t help but think that this is what it feels like. 

She says that she’s the best, but he needs his own evidence, his own proof. He never goes into a situation without reading it himself - a skill that’s kept him alive for years while serving overseas, won him many bluffs on a poker table. 

That, and old habits are hard to break. He felt like taking a risk on her. 

He realizes that she is, in fact, the best when she lists out Gemma Arrington’s life with the same certainty she had at her lecture. She knows of the move from Alabama, the car wreck that killed her father in 1996, that she sang without even knowing the existence of the tape loaded in the briefing room. She was arrogant with her intelligence, often using words that had Booth wishing he still had his old dictionary from his hot English teacher. 

The arrogance was well-deserved. She slots evidence into a timeline, identifies the murder weapon and a potential exit path. He thought he knew what smart people looked like, what they sounded and thought like, but Bones was in a whole different league. 

Temperance Brennan was brilliant.

Blindingly, absolutely brilliant. She has a brilliant idea, something about showing individuality and he thinks about the drawer of socks he can’t wear at the FBI. She asks him a brilliant question; why shouldn’t they be allowed to go on a date? He almost lies to her, wants to sidestep that rule about fraternizing with other agencies, but he plays the good agent and her response is as brilliant as she was: 

“That’s too bad.” 

She was exceptional - had an exceptional left hook that she used to sock a federal judge. It’s awesome and hot and exceptional like she is. He tells her as much and can’t stop the smile that curves his lips at the color that floods her cheeks. 

She has an exceptional tolerance for alcohol when he takes her drinking because he wants to soften to blow when he tells her she can’t work the case anymore. They drink, and they drink some more, and soon a soft, steady haze of alcohol blankets him. He can’t stop staring, can’t believe that a woman like her can drink shitty tequila like a sailor. She has an exceptional idea, that they should have sex because they’re not working together and Booth wonders if he’s ever going to stop being blown away by her. 

He feels his adrenaline surge when she slaps a few crumpled bills on the table and tugs on his sleeve towards the door. Booth stops her, wants to tell her his deepest darkest secret because he has a feeling that they were barrelling towards something he did not want to screw up. 

He knew it would be as brilliant, as exceptional, as amazing as she was. 

And he was right. It might have been the tequila, but he swears he gets more drunk on her. The soft warmth of her lips, the slide of her tongue against him, makes him dizzy. He feels something inside him slide into place and feels empty when she pulls away and tells him that they won’t be sleeping together. Booth wants to chase that feeling, those 15 seconds when her lips are on his. He wants to have it over, and over, and over again. 

He’ll never get enough. 

---

It all falls apart, too soon after. The judge is bulletproof and Bones doesn’t understand that powerful people get away with terrible things all the time. They fight and he is on the receiving end of only a taste of what she gave to the judge and he grows resentful of her - her fancy words, her seemingly endless knowledge of everything. 

She’s brilliant and he’s not. 

Temperance Brennan walks out of his life and is determined to keep him out of hers. In the year between Gemma Arrington and Clio Eller, he thinks of that moment in front of the poolhouse more times than he’ll ever admit. He can smell the supple scent of antiseptic mixed with fresh rain. He can feel the warm hand that anchors on the back of his neck pushing him closer to her in the same urgency he felt. 

He thinks of the slender angle of her jaw, the waft of warm breath and tequila, of brilliant blue eyes, and feels an itch, an urge. 

Then reaches for his phone, wondering if his buddy in the TSA was willing to do him a small favor. 

---

They slowly become friends, partners. They dance on this fine line, between friends and something more than friends. Maybe he’s a little too protective of her, following her around on crime scenes and always urging her to stay back, to stand behind him even if he’s seen her take down suspects bigger and burlier than she was. Maybe she’s a little too attached to him, wandering hands that catch on his elbows, his forearm, his knee. She tells him things he suspects she’s never told anyone before, her well-earned trust handed to him in a file folder that contained the details of her parents’ disappearance. 

They still argue and bicker, one of them always insisting that their viewpoint was the superior one when more often than not they found their answer in compromise. Bones lived by the laws governed by science and logic, while he relied on faith and feeling to guide him. 

She teaches him how to be more rational, to take the facts before him and use it to their advantage. He teaches her to trust in him, in other people - that she could be vulnerable and understand the human portion of her that she tries to bury under anthropological facts and history. 

They share bottles of beer and glasses of whiskey, barely dodge bullets, bombs, and close brushes with their death. He hops on the first plane to Louisiana when she wakes up bruised and battered with no recollection of the last 24 hours. He threatens, holds guns to people who would dare and try to hurt her. He holds her when her mother’s bones turn up, when she tells him that she doesn’t know who she is anymore.

But he knows who she is.

She was the one who always hovered in his periphery, the slant of her smile and the furrow of her brow something he could draw from memory, if he ever learned how to draw. He knew her Thai takeout order, the kind of whiskey she enjoyed, the burden of rationality she carries around in every aspect of her life. He knew that she was scared of being left behind again, so he always tells her that he’s not leaving, that she could always count on him. 

She was his partner. 

She was the unspoken reason as to why all his relationships were just meaningless reruns of women it never worked out with. She was the standard he held them all to, even if he would never admit it, especially to the new psychologist who looks like he’s barely out of high school. 

He knows who she is. 

--

He chases her, through war and ghosts and snakes and serial killers. 

He chases those 15 seconds she gave him in front of the poolhouse almost five years ago now, chasing it in the subtle upturn of her lips when he presents her with Jasper for the first time. He chases the way her eyes sparkle when she sings on the stage they set up for her, chases the feeling of her hand in his when the world starts to fade as a bullet he takes for her lodges into his chest. He chases the flip of his stomach when he finds her on the sidelines of his hockey game, a red beanie pulled tightly over her ears when she waves at him. 

Booth can’t stop himself, can’t stop the itch, the urge, that overwhelms him when she’s not near. An itch that had almost torn up his insides when she mentions that Sully wanted to take her away from him for an entire year and the relief of it when she decides to stay, to be rational, to keep doing their jobs because they’re amazing partners. He can’t stop the urge to shove the barrel of his gun down the mouth of any person who threatens her, or the urge to never give up on her because she wouldn’t give up on him. 

He can’t stop himself when Sweets tells him to use his addiction, his problem, to break the stalemate. He’s thought about it over the years, made and replayed scenarios in his head on what it would be like to finally cross that fine line they’ve been dancing on all these years. But he’s a good agent, one who follows the rules, and they always said that there would be no fraternizing with consultants or other agencies. He decides to screw it all because they were on the brink of something, of the unwritten story he saw in her eyes when they first met. 

It was going to be brilliant, exceptional, and amazing.

He tells her that he’s a gambler, unashamed in the fact that he’s an addict. He wants to take a chance on this, on her, on them .

But she pushes him away, tells him that he needs protecting. He hands her his heart and she crumbles it into little pieces in front of him. She doesn’t know how to make them work, doesn’t know how to risk the status quo for the potential. She didn't know how to take the less-traveled route, to bet on something out of her control.

“I’m a scientist. I can’t change. I don’t know how.” 

Booth had forgotten that gambling always came with risks. He forgot that you came down from the adrenaline you get when you place a bet, that reality always had the odds tilted against him. 

“Can we still work together?” She asks, after breaking the heart he’s offered to her. He glances at her, watching the tears that carve pathways into her cheeks and doesn’t fight the urge when he says yes. 

He’s an addict. 

And now, she is his only vice.

Yes? Perhaps?

But also, in our case, we are quantitatively and objectively plural.

That's a neurotype, and as you've described it exists largely because of how atypical our behavior and experiences are from what society considers to be typical.

However, we have a precise number of separate consciousnesses and streams of long term memory in our brain, and the fact that we do is detectable with an active MRI. And, as such, it is a materially different state than that of having one single consciousness.

In our case, it's like you've said, "'three' is not an ontological status."

Like, what you're saying is important for understanding ableism and systems of justice constructed to deconstruct ableism.

But it's also just fucking wrong, from an actual material analysis of our existence.

the neurotypical invents the neurodivergent. neuro(non)normativity is a constant negotiation of social conditions + relation to capital + carceral frameworks of legal, educational, medical systems. “neurotype” is not an ontological status. it is a mirror held to the world in which it exists.

This study is currently being misquoted by a lot of science reporters who are claiming it's the cause of all long covid symptoms: this shows inflammation and lasting damage in the brainstem following a covid infection is responsible for many *neurological* symptoms of Long covid such as heart palpitations and loss of sensation.

Abstract

Post-mortem studies have shown that patients dying from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection frequently have pathological changes in their CNS, particularly in the brainstem. Many of these changes are proposed to result from para-infectious and/or post-infection immune responses. Clinical symptoms such as fatigue, breathlessness, and chest pain are frequently reported in post-hospitalized coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. We propose that these symptoms are in part due to damage to key neuromodulatory brainstem nuclei. While brainstem involvement has been demonstrated in the acute phase of the illness, the evidence of long-term brainstem change on MRI is inconclusive. We therefore used ultra-high field (7 T) quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) to test the hypothesis that brainstem abnormalities persist in post-COVID patients and that these are associated with persistence of key symptoms.

We used 7 T QSM data from 30 patients, scanned 93–548 days after hospital admission for COVID-19 and compared them to 51 age-matched controls without prior history of COVID-19 infection. We correlated the patients’ QSM signals with disease severity (duration of hospital admission and COVID-19 severity scale), inflammatory response during the acute illness (C-reactive protein, D-dimer and platelet levels), functional recovery (modified Rankin scale), depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9) and anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7).

In COVID-19 survivors, the MR susceptibility increased in the medulla, pons and midbrain regions of the brainstem. Specifically, there was increased susceptibility in the inferior medullary reticular formation and the raphe pallidus and obscurus. In these regions, patients with higher tissue susceptibility had worse acute disease severity, higher acute inflammatory markers, and significantly worse functional recovery.

This study contributes to understanding the long-term effects of COVID-19 and recovery. Using non-invasive ultra-high field 7 T MRI, we show evidence of brainstem pathophysiological changes associated with inflammatory processes in post-hospitalized COVID-19 survivors.
