Vaccination may reduce memory loss from COVID-19 infections

Since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, 10 to 30 per cent of the general population has experienced some form of virus-induced cognitive impairment, including trouble concentrating, brain fog or memory loss. This led a team of researchers to explore the mechanism behind this phenomenon and pinpoint a specific protein that appears to be driving these cognitive changes. A new study also looked at how vaccination may help reduce the impacts of memory loss following COVID-19 infections.
