OK, here's a peculiar proposition. After 2 years we know for a fact that COVID and its variants do damage to the human sense of smell, and sometimes also the sense of taste.
As I understand it--and I'm at about the level of expertise of your average Mom's Basement Search-Engine Medical Researcher (LOL)--the classic triune brain conceptualization (which most real researchers now kiss off as dated, but which has some validity)--makes some basic points.
There's a lot of body parts involved in smelling, but eventually our sense of smell is registered in the brain. The "reptilian" and "paleomammalian" brain hunks are in on the action.
So here's what I'm wondering. COVID definitely damages smell and taste in many of the people who get sick with it. Does it also damage the reptilian and paleomammalian parts of the human brain?
If so, what kind of damage is it doing, and how can we treat it?
