Study Links Long COVID Brain Fog to Leaky Blood-Brain Vessels

Groundbreaking research identifies vascular disruptions and hyperactive immune response as key factors, offering new hope for targeted therapies.

A groundbreaking study from Trinity College Dublin links long COVID brain fog to leaky blood-brain vessels and a hyperactive immune system.
Researchers utilized novel MRI techniques to identify vascular disruptions in patients, offering hope for targeted long COVID therapies.
The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, analyzed patients from the pandemic's first wave, highlighting the need for further research on later variants.
Experts suggest the findings could revolutionize the understanding and treatment of post-viral neurological conditions.
The discovery opens avenues for investigating similar mechanisms in other viral infections and their neurological impacts.
