Figure 1. Two routes of brain infection by which SARS-CoV-2 may enter the hypothalamus and infect GnRH neurons. The virus attaches to and enters cells harbouring surface receptors such as ACE2 (black spanner-like symbol) or NRP1 (red cylinder). GnRH neurons exhibit both, which might increase their vulnerability. A. The haematological route, whereby the respiratory virus (white spheres) makes its way through the lungs into the bloodstream (dark red), and thence into the median eminence (ME), a part of the hypothalamus that harbours ”fenestrated” or leaky blood vessels. The virus may affect a number of different cell types locally, including GnRH neurons (green), whose secretory terminals approach the fenestrated vessels, and tanycytes (grey), whose processes control this secretion and also transport other bloodborne hormones and other substances into the brain. Once inside the brain ventricles (V), fluid-filled canals within the brain, the virus can also travel to other areas. B. The olfactory route, whereby the virus enters the olfactory bulb (OB) of the brain directly from the nose across the bony cribriform plate by means of nerve bundles or infected olfactory neurons and other cell types. GnRH neurons, which are born in the nasal epithelium during the embryonic period and migrate into the brain along these nerve bundles to their final positions, still maintain a connection with their birthplace, and could be thus be infected directly or indirectly through olfactory neurons or other cells. GnRH neurons also project to parts of the brain involved in higher functions such as cognition, potentially contributing to long-COVID symptoms such as “brain fog”.

Brain infection by SARS-CoV-2: Lifelong consequences
