Long Covid: study shows damage to brain's 'control centre'
Research could help scientists understand long-term effects of Covid-19 as well as conditions such as MS and dementia
Inflammation from severe COVID-19 can damage brainstem, leading to prolonged symptoms, new research suggests
A new study suggests that damage to the brainstem, the part of the brain that controls essential functions like breathing and heart rate, may be responsible for the long-lasting physical and mental health issues seen in patients who experienced severe COVID-19.
Long Covid symptoms 'caused by damage to the brain's control centre', scientists say
Cambridge and Oxford university scientists used high-tech scanners and could have identified the cause of Long Covid symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue and anxiety
MRI scans reveal the damage long Covid does to your brain
The condition, also known as long Covid, can cause extreme tiredness, shortness of breath, brain fog, dizziness, heart palpitations and muscle aches. Scientists at the University of Cambridge used ultra high-resolution scanners, known as 7-Tesla or 7T scanners, that show the living brain in fine detail.
Brain Inflammation Could Explain Long COVID Symptoms: Study
A new study reveals a possible link between long COVID symptoms and inflammation in the brainstem. Researchers suggest that this inflammation could be the underlying cause of fatigue and brain fog in some patients.
Damage to brainstem might be driving Long COVID
Damage to the brainstem could be behind the physical and psychological effects of Long COVID, a new study suggests.
Long Covid damage to brain’s ‘control centre’ revealed by ultra-powerful MRI scans
While more research is needed, ultra high-resolution scans of hospital patients reveal a link between brainstem damage and the symptoms of long Covid
