Recent studies suggest that SARS-CoV-2 may invade trigeminal nerve endings in the nasal cavity. However, despite these insights, the precise underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated the cellular and molecular changes in the TG and brainstem with a special attention for the spinal trigeminal nucleus in the K18-hACE2 mouse model infected with SARS-CoV-2. We first confirmed the expression of the cellular proteins playing a role in SARS-CoV-2 cell entry (ACE2, TMPRSS2, and NRP1) in both structures. We reported the expression of the viral nucleocapsid (N) and spike (S) proteins in TG and brainstem at 6 days post infection by multimodal approaches (RNAseq, RNAscope, and immunofluorescence). In the TG, S and N proteins were detected in nerve fibers as well as in TRPV1 and CGRP nociceptive neurons. Transcriptomic analyses of the TG from infected K18-hACE2 revealed significant changes in gene expression, including\n                    <jats:italic>Ccl2<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Atf3<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Cxcl10<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Saa3<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>Plin4<\/jats:italic>\n                    genes. Additionally, increased immunoreactivity for ATF3 and Iba1 was detected in the TG of infected mice. In the brainstem, SARS-CoV-2 protein was exclusively found in neurons, with no detection in astrocytes or microglial cells, the latter exhibiting an activated form in SARS-CoV-2 mice. Bulk RNA-Seq analysis revealed a robust inflammatory response characterized by cytokine and chemokine storm, inflammasome activation (\n                    <jats:italic>Gsdmd<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Casp11<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Casp1<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>Nlrp3<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), markers of neuronal activation (\n                    <jats:italic>Jun<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Fos<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Fosb<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), neuronal injury (\n                    <jats:italic>Atf3<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), and pain-associated genes (\n                    <jats:italic>Tacr1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Gfra1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Ntrk1<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Slc17a6<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Ptgs2<\/jats:italic>\n                    ). As found in the TG, we observed that infected neurons were found within a dense network of CGRP nociceptive nerve fibers in the trigeminal brainstem.
