How does the coronary attack the brain?

A new study offers the first clear proof that, in some people, the coronary invades brain cells, kidnapping them to make copies of itself. The virus also seems to absorb all the oxygen nearby, causing the death of nearby cells.

It is unclear how the virus reaches the brain and how often it begins this test of destruction. Brain infection is likely rare, but some people may be sensitive because of their genetic background, a high viral load, or other reasons.

If the brain is truly infected, there may be lethal consequences”, Akiko Iwasaki, immunologist at the University of Yalet, who conducted this study, broadcast COHA NYT.

The study was posted online Wednesday and has not yet been reviewed by experts for publication. But some researchers have said that he was cautious and elegant, displaying in various ways that the virus could affect brain cells.

Scientific Support

Scientists have had to rely on brain scans and symptoms of patients to detect the effects on the brain, but “we haven't seen much evidence that the virus can infect the brain, even though we knew there was potential possibility of”, Dr. Michael Zandy, consultant neurolog at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgies in Great Britain. “These data provide little more evidence that it can actually infect the brain”.

Dr. Zan and his colleagues have published the research in July, showing that several patients with Covid-19, the disease caused by the coronary, develop serious neurologic complications, including nerve damage.

In his study, Dr. Iwasaki and her colleagues documented brain infection in three ways: In brain tissue from a person who died from COVID-19, in a mouse model and organoids deep cell clusters in a laboratory plate had to mimic the three - dimensional structure of the brain.
