More evidence of direct #SARSCoV2 brain invasion points out that the neurological, cognitive, and psychiatric symptoms associated with COVID-19 might not only be driven by circulating inflammatory cytokines and indirect neuroinflammation.
@Gaudinlab just published a study examining human brain samples from individuals with COVID-19, cerebral organoids, and organotypic culture of human brain explants.
Their results are similar to what I also observed in the monkey brain:
The primary neural target of SARS-CoV-2 is mostly found to be neuronal, although other neural cell types have been reported to show some degree of permissivenes."
This is why SARS-CoV-2 will never be like the Flu. Show me an influenza strain that directly infects neurons in the primate brain.
