Urmele lăsate de COVID în creier. Cercetătorii au găsit o posibilă explicație pentru lipsa de motivație • Newsweek România

Researchers have found that long COVID may affect the dopamine system in the brain, potentially explaining symptoms like lack of motivation and memory issues. A study involving 24 long COVID patients revealed reduced dopamine markers in brain regions associated with motivation and movement. The severity of symptoms correlated with the extent of dopamine system changes. While this offers insights into potential treatments targeting dopamine, further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore mechanisms of how long COVID impacts dopamine neurons.
