Summary
In this article for Stat, E. Wesley Ely, Professor of Medicine and Critical Care at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, looks at the impact Covid-19 and Long Covid can have on people's brains. He speaks to people with Long Covid who have experienced a sharp decline in brain function, leading to them losing their jobs, struggling to hold a conversation and in some cases developing early-onset dementia. He also highlights biomedical research that has shown changes to the brain in people with confirmed Covid-19 infections, including a reduction in grey matter, problems in the cells lining the blood vessels and impaired cellular metabolism in the frontal lobe six months following acute Covid.
