Episode Synopsis

This study found that injecting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein into the hippocampus of mice caused memory problems and anxiety-like behavior. The spike protein didn’t kill neurons but activated glial cells to release inflammatory molecules. These findings may explain some of the neurological and psychological symptoms seen in COVID-19 patients.
