Griffith University researchers have used an ultra-high field MRI (7 Tesla) to investigate <\/span>how COVID-19 and myalgic encephalomyelitis\/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME\/CFS) mirror the same effects on the brain structure.<\/span><\/h4>\n

They found the brainstem was larger in patients with ME\/CFS & Long COVID than in those who didn’t have the same ailments.<\/span><\/p>\n

The study published in Frontiers in Neuroscience<\/em><\/a> on March 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also showed similar volumes of the brainstem in patients which could be the reason Long COVID patients exhibit all common core symptoms of ME\/CFS,\u201d Dr. Thapaliya said.<\/span><\/p>\n
