Direct viral invasion, neurodegeneration, microvascular thrombosis, neuroinflammation, and severe systemic inflammation can be the causes of post-acute- COVID-19-illness neuropathology, supported by brain parenchyma and vessel changes of possibly driven inflammation in neurons, supportive cells, and brain vasculature in COVID-19 autopsy series. A role in persistent brain effects of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) may be played by an accumulation of memory T cells, a biomarker of immunosenescence in tissue injury and aging, accompanying with the decreased ability to respond to new antigens that are demonstrated in chronic low-level brain inflammation. In conclusion, further studies are urgently needed to identify the exact mechanisms and biomarkers of the neurological post-acute-COVID-19-illness and long-COVID-19 sequelae, including COVID-19-vaccine-induced neuropsychiatric sequelae.
