Exploring the Impact of SARS-CoV-2 on Synaptic Connections

The chapter delves into various experiments involving peptides, microglia, and macrophages to reduce presynaptic expression and pathology in different models, emphasizing the delicate balance in synaptic pruning. Discussions cover the role of microglia, astrocytes, and monocytes in synaptic pruning and the implications of SARS-CoV-2 on blood vessels and synaptic connections. The speakers also examine the complex relationship between COVID-19 and neurological damage, emphasizing the unpredictable cognitive effects in individuals.
