Decreased Cerebral Blood Flow Due to COVID-19

Sailender19 May, 2022Health

The effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the central nervous system are complex and likely to involve multiple potential pathways. A recent study demonstrating SARS-CoV-2 infection of tissue-cultured pericyte-like cells supported its neurovascular involvement and neuroinflammation. Recently, there was an attempt by the researchers to probe cerebral blood flow (CBF) using arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in non-hospitalized adults recovering from COVID-19.
