Cytokines

Damage to the brain could also be related to the immune response developed by the body in response to the virus.

“We know that cytokines, which are molecules produced by your immune cells, do good things. They get rid of viruses," McIntyre says. "But the problem is they can do some collateral damage. They can actually jeopardize the brain cell function and the brain cell structure. And what happens then is you begin to see neuropsychiatric symptoms.”

According to the JAMA article, once the cytokines cross the blood-brain barrier, they activate glial cells, which then secrete inflammatory mediators that boost receptor sensitivity and potentially induce cognitive issues—even hallucinations.
