Researchers offer hypothesis for long COVID brain fog
By Will Morton
A group in France has offered an explanation for long COVID brain fog, with the concept based on a visual brain pattern they discovered on patient PET scans.
October 19, 2023
Hypometabolism detected with F-18 FDG-PET in long-COVID patients: putative astrocyte dysfunction and glutamatergic dysregulation. (A) PET scan of a healthy subject. (B) PET scan of a long COVID patient. Hypometabolic areas are indicated with arrows. (C) A diagram showing a healthy condition in which an astrocyte has a normal capacity to take up glutamate and recycle it to sustain glutamatergic neurotransmission, giving rise to normal glucose utilization and lactate production to ensure adequate neuronal energy supply. (D) A diagram showing a long COVID condition in which an astrocyte has reduced glutamate uptake capacity, leading to reduced glutamate recycling, lower glucose utilization (observed with F-18 FDG-PET as hypometabolism) and lower lactate production, dysregulating glutamatergic neurotransmission, and possibly endangering neuronal survival.

Images show fetal T2-weighted fast-spin-echo 0.55-T MRI scans at various gestational ages. (A) Miduterine coronal anatomic views from eight representative healthy pregnant participants (scans in control group); (B) planned brain views in sagittal, coronal, and axial orientation from eight representative healthy pregnant participants (scans in control participants); and (C) lung views from eight representative healthy pregnant participants (scans in control group). The scans are shown in four gestational age ranges.
