Brain scans reveal possible cause of fatigue and brain fog in long COVID

Researchers have found that long COVID may damage dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, which would explain persistent fatigue, low motivation, slowed movement and memory problems. Brain scan findings open the way to new therapies targeting the dopamine system. The discovery could help millions of long COVID patients worldwide.
