Yale creates new ways to tour campus

Staff Reporter

yale self tour

Anvay Tewari

With updated online virtual tours and the creation of a new smartphone tour app, there are now more ways to explore Yale than ever before, both on campus and from the comfort of one’s own home.

Originally created in 2011, the virtual tours allow people to see Yale’s campus, halls, dorm rooms and facilities online while learning about these campus fixtures from friendly, virtual tour guides. There are five tours available, showcasing the campus in general, residential colleges, athletic facilities, engineering offerings and science facilities and research opportunities. Aside from the athletic one, all tours were updated this summer with new photographs, new locations and little tweaks to the tour guides’ scripts.

The campus tour app that rolled out this summer, called “Yale Admissions Campus Tour,” allows visitors on campus to learn more about Yale even if they cannot join an official tour. The smartphone tracks where visitors are on campus and provides information about different locations, allowing visitors to explore Yale at their own pace. It features all the stops of the University-run on-campus tour and even includes the new residential colleges, which have not yet been added to the on-campus tour.

“The virtual tour and app are a wonderful way for visitors from around the world to learn more about our campus and get a glimpse of student life at Yale,” said Nancy Franco, the director of the Yale Visitor Center. “Although we offer daily tours, it may not be practical for everyone to make a visit to New Haven.”

The new virtual tour features many locations that had not been built by 2011 and others that have been heavily renovated since then, said Director of Outreach and Communications Mark Dunn. These locations include Evans Hall, which houses the School of Management and was completed in 2014, and the Yale Quantum Institute, established in 2015.

Dunn added that he was particularly excited about showing the Yale University Art Gallery and Yale Center for British Art, as both grew in size and underwent significant changes since the last tour’s debut. The tour also showcases other facilities not previously included, such as the Leitner Family Observatory and Planetarium.

The changes to the virtual tour guides’ scripts consisted mostly of replacing outdated information, such as the number of residential colleges and the title “master,” as well as adding some new information, particularly to the Science and Engineering tours, Dunn said.

“It was really a good chance for us to review what was [in the tours] to make sure we were showcasing the most exciting spaces and stories on campus right now,” Dunn said.

The new smartphone app features both written and audio descriptions of various sites at Yale, such as Old Campus and Sterling Memorial Library. Dunn said that because some locations — the residential colleges, for instance — might be locked when visitors decide to take the self-guided tour, the app also includes some photos of the interiors of each featured campus space. The app is designed to allow users to “be in the public spaces around campus” and still be able to learn more about them, he added.

In the past, Dunn said, if visitors wanted to tour campus on their own, or simply could not make it to a scheduled tour, all Yale could provide them was a map.

The smartphone tour app and the virtual tour have one important thing in common with the on-campus tour — both are narrated by Yale’s student guides.

“It was so exciting for me to have students be featured in both of these experiences,” Dunn said. “They really are what sets Yale apart and what really connects with prospective students more than anything else.”

Leah Surrat ’18, the narrator of the virtual engineering tour, said the engineering tour she attended when she visited campus before her first year was one of the main reasons she chose to come to Yale, so it was nice to be able to share her experience with others and represent the tour guide program.

Stephanie Spear ’19, who narrated the science tour, said it was a great idea to update the tour to keep up with the changes in campus’s facilities.

“It’s actually quite surreal to think that I am the person prospective applicants will be seeing and hearing when they go learn more about science at Yale,” Spear said. “I feel really honored to be able to represent our school in this way and hope that I can do a good job of convincing prospective students to apply.”

More than 500,000 unique visitors have gone through Yale’s virtual tours since 2011.

This new self-guided audio tour through the Millstone Valley spotlights rich US history

MILLSTONE – A new self-guided driving audio tour of the Millstone Valley National Scenic Byway is available this summer.

The tour, which takes an hour according to the website, spans the entire 27-mile byway loop.

It passes through the villages of Kingston, Rocky Hill, Griggstown, East Millstone and Millstone Borough, by following the Millstone River and the Delaware and Raritan Canal.

Also along the route is the Delaware and Raritan Canal State Park, which contains 70 miles of flat paths for hikers, joggers and cyclists, as well as opportunities to fish and kayak the canal.

The tour was created by the Millstone Valley Preservation Coalition and funded by the Somerset County Cultural and Heritage Commission.

The tour is available for both Apple and Android users and all they have to do is download the TravelStorysGPS app then follow the guided tour through their car speakers.

The app uses GPS to tailor instructions based on the user’s location while providing narration of the geography, history, landscape, and noteworthy landmarks along the route.

Also included in the app are links to extra information selected by the coalition including historic photographs and maps.

The Millstone Byway is one of the eight designated scenic byways in New Jersey and its route is near many historic districts including River Road, Kington Mill, and Six Mile Run.

Millstone Valley also has a rich history dating back to the American Revolution.

In 1777, George Washington marched the Continental Army north through Millstone Valley after battles at Trenton and Princeton, then about a year later he would march them south through the valley to the Battle of Monmouth.

The Continental Army also took its final march through Millstone Valley, as it marched from New York to Yorktown, Virginia, meeting up with the French and defeating the British for final victory.

The Delaware and Raritan Canal also played a central role in the history of the area as it linked a trade route from New York to Pennsylvania in the 19 th century.

Those who can’t download the app can find the tour at millstonevalley.org or can take the tour from the comfort of their own home using the travelstorys.com .

Questions before or during the tour can be directed to the Byway Visitor’s Center on Griggstown Causeway which is open 1 to 4 p.m. on weekends April through October.

5 Essential Skills to Master for a Successful Digital Nomad Lifestyle

The appeal of the digital nomad lifestyle is captivating—working from exotic locations, setting your schedule, and experiencing new cultures. Sipping coffee in a Parisian café while finishing a project or attending a virtual meeting from a beachside bungalow in Bali is incredibly enticing. But being a successful digital nomad requires more than a laptop and a sense of adventure. It involves a specific set of skills that allow you to navigate the challenges of remote work, maintain productivity, and enjoy the freedom and flexibility of this lifestyle.

The digital nomad lifestyle means stepping out of the traditional office environment and into a world where your workspace is constantly changing. This dynamic way of living can be both exhilarating and scary. You must prepare to tackle internet issues, different time zones, and the occasional feelings of loneliness that can come from working independently.

You’ll need to manage your time effectively, communicate clearly across digital platforms, and adapt to new cultures and environments on the fly. For example, if you plan to work remotely from Canada, you might need to obtain a Canadian police check as part of the visa or work permit requirements. Being aware of these procedural necessities and planning accordingly is part of the preparation that ensures your digital nomad journey runs smoothly.

Here are five essential skills you must master to thrive as a digital nomad. Whether you’re a seasoned remote worker looking to get into full-time travel or someone dreaming of leaving the nine-to-five grind behind, these skills will supply you with the tools necessary to succeed in digital nomadism.

Remote Communication

One of the most crucial skills for digital nomads is effective remote communication. Since you’ll be working with clients, colleagues, and team members from various parts of the world, you need to be proficient in using tools like email, Slack, Zoom, and project management software. Clear, concise, and timely communication helps build trust and ensure smooth collaboration despite the physical distance.

Effective remote communication goes beyond just sending messages back and forth. It’s about conveying your ideas, feedback, and updates in a way that minimizes misunderstandings and fosters a sense of connection and teamwork. When working remotely, you need to be able to read body language and facial expressions, which often leads to misinterpretations. Mastering the art of clear and explicit communication becomes vital.

Time Management

Without the structure of a traditional office, effective time management becomes even more critical. As a digital nomad , you must juggle work, travel, and personal time, often across different time zones. Developing strong time management skills will help you maintain productivity while enjoying the freedom of this lifestyle. Effective time management is the backbone of a successful digital nomad life.

It ensures you can meet your work deadlines while exploring new destinations and cultures. Without it, you may find yourself overwhelmed by the demands of work and the desire to experience your new surroundings, leading to burnout or underperformance. Establishing a daily routine can provide the structure you need to stay productive. Set specific hours for work, breaks, and personal time. Consistency is key; try to start and end your workday simultaneously each day, regardless of your location.

Tech Savvy 

Being tech-savvy is non-negotiable for digital nomads. You should be comfortable with various software and tools that support remote work. You should also be able to troubleshoot everyday tech issues, as you won’t always have immediate access to IT support. Embracing and mastering technology enhances your productivity and ensures you can work seamlessly anywhere worldwide.

In the digital nomad lifestyle, your devices and software are your primary tools for staying connected, managing tasks, and delivering work. The ability to effectively use and troubleshoot technology can make the difference between a smooth workday and a frustrating one.

Regularly updating your software and tools is necessary for security and optimal performance. This includes operating systems, antivirus programs, and the specific applications you use for work. Keeping everything updated helps protect your data and ensure your tools run smoothly.

Adaptability 

Living and working in different environments requires a high degree of adaptability. From internet speeds to cultural differences and unexpected travel disruptions, you need to be able to adjust quickly and find solutions to new challenges. Adaptability is a valuable skill for digital nomads, enabling them to thrive in different circumstances and make the most of their experiences.

As a digital nomad, you’ll encounter diverse situations that require flexibility and a positive mindset. Whether adjusting to a new work environment, navigating unfamiliar cultural norms, or handling logistical challenges, your ability to adapt will significantly impact your success and enjoyment of this lifestyle. Before traveling to a new location, research the local customs, internet availability, cost of living, and other essential aspects.

Always have backup plans for necessary resources like internet access and accommodation. For example, identify local co-working spaces, cafes with reliable Wi-Fi, and alternative lodging options if your original plans fall through.

While having a routine is important, being able to adjust your schedule when needed is equally crucial. Unexpected events like power outages, travel delays, or local holidays can disrupt your plans. Flexibility allows you to accommodate these changes without significantly impacting your work.

Self-Discipline

Without a boss looking over your shoulder, you’ll need discipline. It would help if you worked to stay motivated and focused on your work, even in a beautiful new location with plenty of distractions. Establishing a routine and setting personal goals helps maintain your productivity. Self-discipline is the cornerstone of a successful digital nomad lifestyle, enabling you to balance work and leisure effectively.

The freedom that comes with being a digital nomad is a double-edged sword. While it offers flexibility, it also demands self-discipline to meet your professional commitments while enjoying your travels. Regularly evaluate your productivity and discipline levels. Identify areas where you can improve and adjust your routine and habits. Continuous reflection and adjustment will help you stay on track and maintain self-discipline.

Final Thoughts 

Becoming a successful digital nomad is more than working from picturesque locations. It requires mastering skills like remote communication, time management, tech savviness, adaptability, and self-discipline. By developing these skills, you can enjoy the benefits of a digital nomad lifestyle while maintaining productivity and achieving your professional goals. Start working on these skills today, and you’ll be well on your way to living and working from anywhere in the world.

Report Seeks to Prevent Interpersonal Violence in Elite Sports

Female runners legs as they leave the starting blocks of a race, running on a reddish track with white stripes

The Sports Equity™ Lab (SEL), with the Global Health Justice Partnership (GHJP) of Yale Law School and the Yale School of Public Health, the Orville H. Schell, Jr. Center for International Human Rights at Yale Law School, and Sports Law Solutions, published a report on June 20 analyzing the issue of interpersonal violence in international sport. The report, Policy and Legal Frameworks for Preventing Interpersonal Violence in Elite Sport , issues a challenge, in its framework, analysis and research, to the world of sport to take effective steps to stop interpersonal violence in elite sport. 

As the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Paris approach, the power of the athletes will be in everyone’s sights. “We call for all who enjoy sport to look ‘beyond the flame’ and celebrate a more comprehensive understanding of sporting excellence, including a commitment to meaningful change within the structures that make athletes’ glory — and their abuse — possible,” said Yetsa A. Tuakli-Wosornu, Sports Equity™ Lab director and one of the primary authors of the report. 

The report brings together research, analysis, and workshop discussions and includes the voices of athletes, academics, lawyers, advocates, activists, medical doctors, and officers from a range of sporting bodies. The report explores the range of abusive practices directed against elite athletes and asks hard questions about the systemic failure to prevent, respond to, and reform the policies across the interconnected in­stitutions that give rise to them. 

“Unlike many previous interventions, this report focuses not on one bad actor or one single site to fix. Instead, we explore the historical legacies of key institutions and the present conditions that give rise to abuse,” noted co-author Alice M. Miller, Co-Director of the Global Health Justice Partnership. 

Seeking athlete-driven sports governance

The report has three parts. The first part explains the unique culture of elite sport that facilitates abuse, including the imprint of colonial regimes on modern sports, now exacerbated by the marketization of sports, that set the context for sport. The first part of the report also analyzes the internal customs and regimes of sport that combine to enable abuse and the hierarchical power structures of decision-making that place athletes at the bottom. 

The second part of the report discusses the many failures of current safeguarding measures, including policies that put pressure on individual athletes to come forward alone, a step especially difficult when embedded in the strict hierarchies of sport. This part flags existing safeguarding policies’ lack of mechanisms for meaningful accountability and their failure to account for different sporting cultures. 

The third part of the report looks to the future and, especially, athlete leadership. Major attitudinal and cultural shifts in sport are needed, the report argues, to interrupt the legacies of gender and racial stereotypes, as well as beliefs about disability and age that create the conditions for harm. The report further argues that advocates can use the tools of law and rights to focus on the systems and structures of sport. Moreover, in order to ensure effective prevention, protection and accountability, these rights-based policies must integrate data-driven trauma care as a core component.

Finally, the report highlights the tension arising between taking seriously sport’s claims to independence from government interference, which has given rise to its system of private self-regulation , including mandatory arbitration, and the need for oversight by public entities, including national and global courts whose mandates include human rights protection. The report calls for an athlete-centered, athlete-driven version of sports governance that is committed to international human rights standards. The report lays out the elements of an effective sports governance that prioritizes the mental, emotional, physical, and social health and safety of athletes.

Practices of punishment, reward, and abuse

An important and unique part of the report is its linking of interventions to prevent and redress interpersonal abuse to conditions that enable abuse — including the structures and policies that privilege or deny privileges to persons contingent on their gender, race, ability, and their place of origin. 

“Sports’ informal inclusion and exclusion rules operate alongside formal rules that take distinct shapes across the globe and play out in different ways across distinct social, political, and cultural environments,” said Miller. “However, these kinds of informal rules are always operating. Our report investigates the ways that the informal rules outside of sport, which rank and value people differently, continue into sport: Ideas and practices about how to treat people or whose suffering matters often follow stereotypes about gender, age, race and disability—factors that intersect in athletes lives.”

Tuakli-Wosornu added, “These ideas and values, our report shows, become quiet but powerful regulatory systems in the hands of coaches, team doctors, other athletes and even family members. These systems operate to distribute power and, with it, practices of punishment, reward, and abuse over athletes. Often these policies are cloaked as promoting winning, but they serve to shield harassment and abuse from condemnation or intervention.” 

“Although the report focuses on elite sport, we hope it will have more expansive effects, especially in light of the leadership role elite sport plays in establishing and altering sport ideals,” continued Miller, “and, more practically, because of the way elite-sport practices trickle down to more recreational and school-based sport.”

As Tuakli-Wosornu states, “We hope this report clears a path to move ideas into action, in support of and with full respect for the voices of today’s global athletes, whose courageous actions have already begun to transform elite sport regulatory bodies.” Athletes, the report observes, are not blind to sport’s complexities and tensions. The report makes clear that athletes will be the source of solutions and that transformation has moved away from coercive power structures that commodify and dehumanize athletes towards power-balanced, accountable models that center not only high performance in sport but also compassion and humanism. As Tuakli-Wosornu notes, “Amplifying participants’ perspectives is the strongest starting point to equitably addressing sport’s densely knotted web of interests and powers.”

Jim Silk ’89, Co-Director of the Schell Center for International Human Rights, concluded, “We hope this report can spur exciting efforts and collaborations that will help establish a new analytical approach and concrete action. These efforts can accomplish that only if they draw on nontraditional sources, within and outside of sport, for wisdom. We believe that this change is necessary for developing full and genuine understanding of the forms and devastating effects of interpersonal violence on diverse athletes.“ 

“We are not proposing a simple fix,” Silk added. “The intertwined structures that give rise to these harms would overwhelm such an effort. We are calling for awareness that effective steps to prevent and remedy abuse will have to reckon with these structures, not cover up their flaws.”

Chicago homeowner fights off alleged intruder with frying pan in security video, chicago homeowner cartoon-y self-defense ... fights off alleged intruder w/ frying pan.

A Chicago man says he defended himself in a move straight out of "Tom and Jerry" ... chasing off a guy who allegedly broke into his house with a classic cartoon weapon.

Jason Williams -- a resident of the city's Logan Square neighborhood -- says a security app alerted him to the alleged intruder's presence while on his way home from work Thursday ... and he sprung into action.

When he arrived at his house, Jason explains he grabbed the first weapon he could find ... which ended up being a frying pan -- and right after, he says the unwelcome guest came down the stairs ... and a confrontation ensued.

The whole chase was captured by a surveillance cam JW had -- video picks up the incident outside ... and, ya gotta check out the clip, 'cause Jason's got the alleged burglar running scared -- swinging the pan wildly at the dude as he chases him off his porch.

The man makes a run for it around the back, but later has to come back and out the front ... and Jason gets a couple good whacks at him before he can open the gate and take off.

At this point, cops arrived on the scene just in time -- and Williams told them to get him ... and they did. They chased the man down ... and, Jason later shared a pic of the cops cuffing the dude and sitting him down in the street.

The man also appeared to receive medical treatment in another pic, possibly from the frying pan lumps he took.

Cops told WLS-TV a suspect was taken into custody ... but it's unclear if any charges have been filed at this point.

As for Williams, he celebrated his fight with a nice meal -- whipping himself up some swordfish in a frying pan ... although, he says it wasn't the one he used to take down his alleged would-be burglar.

Chicagoans beware -- walk into the wrong house, and you could get cooked!!!

Epik High's Tablo reflects on creating 'PUMP', upcoming US tour and the trio's legacy

yale self tour

It's been two decades since the release of Epik High 's debut studio album " Map of the Human Soul " and Tablo says the trio did not expect to stay busy after so long in the music industry.

Epik High 's latest release dropped June 20, the group is gearing up for a North American tour in August and Tablo's daughter recently graduated middle school, the frontman tells USA TODAY.

"It's like super, super crunch time," he says.

Fellow member DJ Tukutz was "running errands" and Mithra Jin was working on new merchandise, while Tablo was in charge of music and visuals, he says. The busyness, however, is "a huge blessing."

"There's no way that a group 20+ years in should be this busy, and we're actually busier than we were when we were young, and like, 'a hot new group,'" Tablo adds.

Epik High is in its "+first year," as their fans call it, and after a blowout year for their 20th anniversary, the trio sees now as a fresh start.

How Epik High's two decades sparked self-reflection

Epik High's first mixtape " PUMP ", out now, came through introspection. "It began with admitting something to ourselves that may be uncomfortable for other artists," Tablo shares.

"It sort of even felt like we were just repeating things over and over again. I personally felt that, unknowingly, we had become too much in our comfort zone and maybe a little complacent," he says.

The other members felt defensive at first toward the sentiment, but when Tablo explained further, Tukutz agreed.

From there, Epik High was unsure how to move forward. "It feels like we're just trying to maintain status quo and and I don't want to do that," Tablo recalls.

The trio had to challenge themselves or else there was "no point" in continuing "if we're just gonna repeat every year exactly the same," Tablo says. So, Epik High altered its approach to everything, this ultimately led to "PUMP" and its accompanying tour.

Creating 'PUMP'

For "PUMP", Epik High is returning to its roots. "We asked ourselves, 'what would we do if this was really our first year?'" says Tablo.

The members went back to "being rookies." When Epik High had a novice mindset, they had no idea of what performs well, what is chart friendly or what sells versus what doesn't.

"We ended up knowing all of that through our experience because we had 20 years of hits and success. We had to really force ourselves to empty ourselves of that knowledge," Tablo adds.

The freeness and open creativity of that caused the mixtape format of "PUMP." The members didn't want familiar sonics and also stayed away from collaborations, which have been an Epik High signature. In the past, the trio has collaborated with the likes of SEVENTEEN's Hoshi , CL and Jackson Wang , among others.

"It is kind of anxiety-inducing because we don't know how an Epik High album would be received without all those blockbuster features," Tablo adds. "Forcing ourselves not to be able to lean on features and lean on comfortable ways of doing things ended up making this."

During the creative process, songs deemed "super radio friendly" were made, but were left out.

"The minute we take them out, it becomes a mixtape," Tablo shares. "We were like, 'Wow, just having one or two songs taken out turns it into an entirely different project."

The sonic switch-ups within single tracks was intentional to challenge not only listeners, but also Epik High themselves.

"We wanted these songs to be very performable on stage. We wanted quick beat and mood changes so that we would be able to keep people pumped throughout the process," Tablo explains. "Just when they start getting comfortable with a rhythm, we would change the mood or the BPM of the song. The whole thing was like a makeover of the way we do things."

Breaking down the mixtape's tracklist

About the song's on "PUMP", "the lyrics are written more like I'm writing in a journal," says Tablo. The tracks are up for interpretation, and sometimes, their meanings are not concrete.

"Mithra and I sat down and when we discussed how to go about writing the lyrics, the first rule we had was we can't have a specific subject matter that we want to talk about," Tablo adds.

Mithra would write three or four versions of certain tracks to allow for that ambiguity.

"If you listen to our first album, it now seems like we had these big topics that we wanted to talk about. But we were in our teens, entering our 20s, when we wrote those songs. At the time, we had more questions than answers," Tablo shares.

He points to " Lesson One (Tablo's World) " off of Epik High's debut album as the crux of this. In the song, Tablo raps "Genius is not the answer to all questions, it's the question to all answers.

"The whole premise was that we don't know anything, and that's sort of what we wanted to go back to (with 'PUMP')," Tablo reflects.

Stand-outs on "PUMP" include " ANTIHERO " and " K-DRAMA " for Tablo. The latter is "both very funny and very serious," a quintessential facet to Epik High's discography.

But the former echoes to Epik High's roots with an added realization of the trio's age and legacy within the industry.

"We are like veterans, and that's a very scary thing," Tablo shares.

The track then segues into a confidence of not giving up. Enter " LATE CHECKOUT ", where Epik High is saying, "'it's not time for us to check out yet,'" but coupled with a fear and that the clock is ticking, Tablo says.

Epik High's legacy in the industry

It's a complicated feeling when reflecting on the group's impact, says Tablo. It's nice knowing that other artists look up to you, but "then it goes into this really scary, confused feeling.

"We always said to ourselves if Epik High stopped at our third or fourth album, if that was the end of Epik High, our status might actually be even higher," Tablo reveals. "We may actually live up to what certain people (believe).

"Because we have been continuing to do it, we have become human. People are literally watching us as we have our rises and falls. People can see us growing, but another word for growing is also aging."

Longevity isn't visible from the onset, and sometimes people have their ebbs and flows. But Epik High hopes to show that things don't always have a definitive end.

"Maybe we don't have to do that. Maybe there is like a second shot, third shot, fourth shot," Tablo says. "We want to be at least one of the groups that (younger artists) can look to and be like, 'Hey, you know, Epik High stayed together for 20+ years.

"One day when we're like really old, (people can say) 'Those grandpas can still rock it, like they can still rap. Maybe we can do that too."

So, whenever a younger artist shouts out Epik High, it's "a sense of flattery, also anxiety, but at the end, a sense of responsibility," Tablo adds.

What to expect on the 'PUMP' tour

Besides Epik High's discography, the trio is stepping up the production and music of tour. They're going to change the way they perform and are trying to fit more songs into the setlist.

There's also a difference of VIP packages, exclusive merchandise and upgraded perks for the upcoming concerts. Tablo says the group wants to give back to the fans for their passion.

"It's really indescribable to see a huge group of smiling faces, right? It's rare. Like, where else can you possibly get that?" he adds. "It's just very rewarding."

"I am willing to do whatever is necessary so that I can do that, so I can keep performing for people."

Self-Reported Neuropsychiatric Post–COVID-19 Condition and CSF Markers of Neuroinflammation

Long COVID, also known as post–COVID-19 condition (PCC), refers to a range of symptoms that may persist for weeks to months after acute COVID-19. A subset of people with PCC report neuropsychiatric symptoms (neuro-PCC); however, the mechanisms behind this phenomenon are not yet understood. 1 Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulates throughout the central nervous system, serving as a window to the brain and providing a means to study neuropathology in living people. 2 - 4 In this study, we assessed for CSF markers of neuroinflammation, including microglial activation, and blood-brain-barrier disruption in individuals with neuro-PCC and individuals who have never had COVID-19.

This case-control study was approved by the institutional review board at Yale University. All participants provided written informed consent. This study followed reporting requirements of the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology ( STROBE ) reporting guideline.

Participants with neuro-PCC were enrolled in The COVID Mind Study at Yale University if they self-reported new or worsened neuropsychiatric symptoms at least 3 months after laboratory–confirmed COVID-19. The control group included asymptomatic participants who were recruited before the COVID-19 pandemic (prior to 2020) to serve as controls for other studies and included 1 asymptomatic participant who was enrolled in 2022 and had no history of COVID-19 illness, which was supported by a negative nucleocapsid antibody in the blood. Participants were excluded if they had any history of severe neurological or psychiatric illness, severe immunocompromising condition, or were receiving immune-suppressive medications at the time of the study. Information regarding the date of positive SARS-COV-2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test and vaccination was obtained through interviews and medical record review. All participants consented to large-volume lumbar puncture (up to 30 cc CSF removed) and blood draw for research purposes.

Frozen CSF supernatant and plasma from all participants were profiled using a 15-plex cytokine laser bead assay. Neopterin was measured by commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

For demographic and clinical data, group comparisons were made using t tests, except for race where group comparisons for race were performed using the 2-proportion z test. Race and ethnicity were assessed through self-report. For cytokine data, participants with neuro-PCC and control participants who had never had COVID-19 were compared using nonparametric unpaired multiple Mann-Whitney tests. The false discovery rate (FDR) was controlled using the Benjamini, Krieger, and Yekutieli 2-stage step-up method. Statistical tests were computed using R statistical software version 4.2.3 (R Project for Statistical Computing). Statistical significance was set at P  < .05 after adjusting for multiple comparisons.

All 37 participants with neuro-PCC (median [IQR] age, 48 [38-60] years; 4 [10.8%] Black or African American individuals; 29 [78.4%] White individuals; 27 [73.0%] females) had prior laboratory confirmed COVID-19 with a known date of SARS-CoV-2 PCR test positivity that occurred between March 2020 and July 2022. Twenty-two control participants were included in the study (median [IQR] age, 51.5 [38.8-56.8] years; 6 [27.3%] Hispanic individuals; 10 [45.5%] Black or African American individuals; 7 [31.8%] females). Most participants with neuro-PCC (29 of 37 [78%]) had acute COVID-19 at times when SARS-CoV-2 Alpha variant was the dominant circulating strain in the US. Brain fog and cognitive impairment (31 [84%]) and excessive fatigue (31 [84%]) were the most frequent post–COVID-19 symptoms reported in the neuro-PCC group. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the cohort are reported in Table 1 .

CSF and plasma inflammatory measures are reported in Table 2 . The CSF white blood cell count and protein levels were not elevated in the neuro-PCC group, nor was the CSF to blood albumin ratio, which is altered under conditions of blood-brain barrier breakdown. CSF IgG index and a comparison of oligoclonal bands in the CSF and blood did not reveal evidence for intrathecal immunoglobulin production.

In the CSF, tumor necrosis factor-α levels were elevated (0.66 vs 0.55 pg/ul) while monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and IL-6 levels were lower in participants with neuro-PCC compared with controls (499 pg/ul vs 697 pg/ul and 1.2 pg/ul vs 1.8 pg/ul, respectively). However, these differences were not statistically significant after accounting for multiple comparisons. There were no significant differences in any of the other cytokines or chemokines tested in the CSF or in the plasma. There were also no elevations in levels of neopterin, a marker of microglial cell activation, in participants with neuro-PCC.

When comparing individuals with neuro-PCC with control participants who had never had COVID-19, we found no evidence of overt neuroinflammation (normal CSF cell count, inflammatory cytokines) or blood-brain barrier dysfunction (normal albumin ratio), suggesting that persistent central nervous system immune activation is not a primary driver of neurological long COVID-19. Strengths of the present study include that all participants with neuro-PCC had laboratory-confirmed history of COVID-19 with known date of PCR positivity, and the inclusion of a control group who had never had COVID-19. Limitations of the study include small sample size, discrepancies between the gender and race of cases compared with controls, and higher rates of smoking and alcohol use and lower rates of antidepressant use in the control group, which may have impacted CSF biomarker results.
