Long-term neuroinflammation in the brain can interfere with neurons, synapses, and glial function in ways that ripple out across thinking, mood, and body systems.

Persistent neuroinflammation is linked to neurodegenerative processes (like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis progression), because it accelerates neuronal damage and disrupts repair.
Long term neuroinflammation is not to be dismissed lightly.
