Abstract
Post-Covid complaints related to a deterioration of brain functions (neuro-pacs) have a major impact on patients. The precise causes of neuro-pacs and in particular the factors that maintain these complaints are still largely unknown. The hypothesis of this study is that a COVID-19 infection has led to a chronic activation of immune cells in the brain (also known as neuroinflammation), which contributes to the survival of neuro-pacs.
