By University of Colorado at Boulder, University of Colorado Boulder scientists have discovered that proteins left by COVID-19 can significantly lower cortisol levels in the brain, leading to heightened immune responses to new stressors. This research, focusing on the neurological symptoms of Long COVID, utilized rats to demonstrate how SARS-CoV-2 antigens persist in the body and alter brain function. This […]
Todd Ackerman A Houston Methodist-led team of researchers have found COVID-19 can result in an unexpectedly frequent occurrence of acute transverse myelitis (ATM), a rare but often devastating spinal cord disorder. The team’s study of documented pandemic cases found that 43 involved ATM, an inflammation of the spinal cord that prevents sensory and motor information […]
Author: Erin Prater Sat, November 5, 202 Yahoo News Just what is COVID capable of doing to the human brain? In a new study published in Molecular Psychiatry, researchers from Sweden and a Harvard-affiliated hospital in Boston tried to find out by creating “brain organoids,” or miniature brains about the size of a pinhead, and infected them with […]
by Geoff McMaster, University of Alberta People with neurological disease have a greater chance of death after contracting COVID-19, according to a new University of Alberta study. The research also confirms a higher risk of developing new neurological disorders after COVID infection. “For those who have neurological diseases—if you have Parkinson’s, if you have dementia, if you […]
