"Serotonin Depletion in Long Covid Patients: A Potential Cause for 'Brain Fog'"

TL;DR Summary
A new study published in Cell suggests that depleted serotonin levels may be a potential cause of "brain fog" in long Covid patients. The research found that long Covid depletes peripheral serotonin, impairing memory and other brain functions. The study also linked the depletion of serotonin to excessive blood clotting and autonomic dysfunction. The findings provide new insights into the interconnectedness of brain function with other organ systems and may lead to the development of potential treatments for long Covid. Further research is needed to fully understand the underlying mechanisms and develop effective therapeutics.
