The amazing way that the coronerius can enter the brain and cause neurologic disorders

One of the most complicated and still unclear aspects of the coronary is the way this virus can attack organs in the organism. Many studies have shown that the primary organs that the coronary infectes are lungs, hearts, and other respiratory organs. But one mystery in itself is the impact this virus has on our nervous system.

According to a research conducted in April by more than one third of the 214 people with Covid-19, there have been neurologic complications ranging from the loss of smell sense to strokes. At first it has been alluted that the virus causes neurological complications similar to deliriums, brain inflammation, nerve injuries, and strokes.

In another paper published in the magazine “The Lancet Psychiatry” among the 153 persons diagnosed with Covid-19, 60 young people from them had experienced mild neurological symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis.

The mechanism of how this virus reaches the neurological system and affects it is not yet completely clear. According to Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a neurological surgeon, the way the body protects the brain is amazing.

The brain is found inside a strong bone shell, with pure liquid, which controls every single molecule that enters the brain, and the idea that a virus can enter and have impact on it has been quite surprising to us”, Dr. Gupta.

It is now known that the vent spread through the particles of air and enters our organism through our mouth and nose. When that happens, it is likely that the virus will first touch the nosebone, which hosts the main nerve of the sniffing and all its branches. If the virus is able to pass this bone and affect the sniffing nerve, then the sense of smell is lost. If the virus also affects the nerves of taste, then it prevents nerve fibers to transmit signals to the brain and therefore causes loss of taste. This is a first theory that the virus reaches the neurological system.

The other theory involves a protein receptor called angiotensine converting enzyme, also known as ACE2, which is found in lung cells, kidneys, blood vessels, muscles, noses, and mouth. According to this hypothesis, the virus is able to connect to this enzyme, resulting in these organs being spread to the nervous system.

The question is that such a virus with so little genetic information can destroy even our neurological system is truly fascinating”, Dr. Majid Fottuhi, neurolog and participant of the Johns Hopkins Medicine University Science Association.

How does the virus cause strokes

When the virus is linked to ACE-2, an organism-made substance that contributes to narrowing blood vessels, and is responsible for high blood pressure, it causes an inflammatory response, which leads to damage to the bloodstream. Along with the high level of the ACE-2 substance and coagulating blood, the block of blood flow into the brain creates, which causes strokes. Some strokes are small, and some patients don't even realize they've done one.

Overflammation in the body caused by Covid-19 also causes symptoms such as brain swelling, high - rate infection, and nervous breakdown. However, neurologic complications are not the same for all patients with Covid-19.

What is commonly known is that patients with hypertension, diabetes, and overweight are in danger of developing symptoms and neurological complications, for this reason regular exercise, healthy diets, and adequate sleep are some of the most important factors for preventing these problems. / CNN/ Express Journal
