Gonadotropin-releasing hormone is implicated in cognitive functions, and its loss is a factor in pathological brain ageing. There are similarities between these processes and the neurological and cognitive deficits observed in patients with long COVID. Here, we explore the hypothesis that neuroanatomical and transcriptomic alterations associated with long COVID could stem from this neuroendocrine perturbation.

拨开迷雾：新冠后认知缺陷的神经内分泌解释

促性腺激素释放激素与认知功能有关，其丧失是病理性大脑衰老的一个因素。这些过程与长期新冠患者观察到的神经和认知缺陷有相似之处。在这里，我们探讨了这样一个假设：与长期新冠病毒相关的神经解剖学和转录组学改变可能源于这种神经内分泌扰动。
