CTT #59: What does Covid-19 infection do to the brain?


Listen Later

A group of researchers in the UK examined hundreds of brain scans that were taken both before and after people became infected with the coronavirus. The study, published in Nature, concluded that “there is strong evidence for brain-related abnormalities in Covid-19.” Some of the recorded disease effects included tissue damage, along with reductions in both grey matter and overall brain size, post-infection.

This study raises more questions for scientists and medical professionals about the possible long-term consequences of Covid-19. Jeremy Corr and Dr. Robert Pearl examine these questions in this episode of Coronavirus: The Truth. You’ll find all the [time stamped] questions from this show in the notes below:
