Oxford study: Even mild Covid-19 can cause brain shrinkage
Coronavirus has created havoc in people’s lives and is still out there damaging health of the people even after recovery. A new Oxford study has found that even mild Covid-19 can cause brain shrinkage. The research said that even mild cases of Covid-19 found in the participants showed “a worsening of executive function.” Well, this is definitely shocking.
According to the researchers, the study has found ‘strong evidence for brain-related abnormalities’ — which could reduce grey matter in the regions that control emotion and memory and damage areas that control the sense of smell.
On average, the brain sizes shrank between 0.2 per cent and 2 per cent.
However, the researchers did not comment if vaccinating against Covid-19 had any impact on the condition.
