Neurocognitive Indices of Long COVID: Dysregulated Engagement of Inhibitory Control and Oscillatory Slowing — White et al
"Taken together, these findings clearly indicate that even mild PASC is associated with significant alterations in cell signaling, characterized by oscillatory slowing."

Brain-binding auto-antibodies in subjects with and without post-COVID-syndrome after SARS-CoV-2 infection — Faraj et al
"Our data further support the conjecture of a dysregulated immune system after COVID-19, and endorse former observations that there is no direct link between autoantibody prevalence and clinical symptoms of Post-COVID syndrome."

Hair cortisol concentration and basal heart rate variability differentiate long COVID from depressive disorders in youth — Oehlke et al
"Without a healthy reference, it cannot be determined whether HCC or HRV indices in either clinical group deviate from normative physiological levels, nor whether the observed patterns are specific to LC or depressive disorders. Accordingly, the present findings should be understood as relative differences between the two clinical groups."

Autoantibody landscapes in Long COVID with neurological symptoms show heterogeneity without a shared disease signature — Chakravarty et al
"Across tissue-based assays and peptide-level, whole-human-proteome PhIP-Seq profiling, the data consistently reveal a lack of convergent, disease-specific autoantibody signatures."

A new study, led by researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and published in Brain Communications, found that a transcranial low-amplitude magnetic field intervention delivered twice weekly into the brain through a non-invasive headset was associated with improvements in several measures of cognitive function and emotional well-being in people experiencing cognitive impairment associated with long COVID.

Importantly, the improvements seen among patients who received the therapy continued after the treatment period ended, providing early evidence that non-invasive biophysical approaches may warrant further study as potential treatments for persistent neurological symptoms of long COVID.

Serum NfL and GFAP in post-COVID syndrome: minimal evidence of CNS injury after adjusting for confounders — Wunderle et al
"[ME/CFS] was present in 61.4% of PCS and absent in controls" "serum neurofilament light (NfL) concentrations did not differ between patients with PCS and recovered controls in either crude or adjusted analyses, arguing against ongoing neuroaxonal injury in this cohort. GFAP levels were modestly elevated […] indicating a small disease-related astroglial signal."
