Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, in Dehli, gathered data from 46 patients who had Covid in the last six months and 30 people that had never been infected with the virus.

They found that most of the people who had recovered from Covid had changes in the circulation of tiny blood vessels in the frontal lobe and brain stem areas.

These regions are involved in higher-order cognitive skills such as language expression and voluntary movements.

Sapna Mishra, a PhD candidate at the institute a lead researchers of the study said 'these brain regions are linked with fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, headaches and cognitive problems.'

The cluster obtained in the frontal lobe primarily showed changes in white matter.

White matter is found in the deepest tissues of the brain and is made up of millions of nerve fibers that connects parts of the brain and links the brain to the spinal cord

Through changes in white matter, the brain finds it harder to transfer information, leading to difficulties with memory, mobility and balance.
