Study on mice shows Covid virus leads to brain neuron death

A new study has revealed that in mice whose brains were exposed to the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, anxiety increased and cognition reduced.

This was also accompanied by the protein causing poisoning of neurons in the brain, leading to neuronal death. The behavioral study, whose findings were published last week in the journal Scientific Reports, was conducted on mice brains.
