The virus affects more than just the lungs.

A team of researchers set themselves a significant task: using modern medical imaging techniques to study the brain in people after infection. The results were compared with data from a control group whose members had never been infected with the coronavirus.

The results were unexpected. It turned out that COVID-19 affects more than just the respiratory system. Scientists from Griffith University used high-precision scanning technology to assess the condition of nerve tissue. Study leader Dr. Kiran Thapaliya presented the results in a specialized scientific journal devoted to the interaction of the brain and the immune system.

 

The analysis focused on areas responsible for memory, thinking, and overall nervous system function. Both gray and white matter were examined. In all     of barn system
