Research Discovers Coronavirus Enters the Brain
In a study published in the “Nature Neuroscience” journal, researchers report that the coronavirus affects the brain. This research was done after additional reports came out about people who had been infected with the coronavirus suffering from cognitive effects such as fatigue and brain fog. The researchers believe that the virus that causes the coronavirus — SARS-CoV-2 — can enter an individual’s brain.
