COVID-19 Damages A Major Brain “Control Center”, Ultra-Powerful MRI Scans Reveal
Super-powered brain scans are giving scientists a deeper look at how COVID-19 affects the brain, and the findings could explain many of the lasting symptoms that some patients experience. New data shows that COVID can damage the brainstem,
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.
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
Long COVID Changes Brain Structure, Scans Reveal
The findings not only promise to improve the diagnosis of chronic disease but could open new avenues for potential treatments.
Damage to Brainstem Could Be Driving Long COVID
Brain scans of 30 Long COVID patients found they had damage to the region of the brainstem associated with breathlessness, fatigue and anxiety, researchers reported Oct. 7 in the journal Brain. “The brainstem is the critical junction box between our conscious selves and what is happening in our bodies,
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
