Story summary

A groundbreaking Yale University study uncovers a startling connection between COVID-19 and amyloid beta buildup in the eyes, akin to changes seen in Alzheimer's disease. This discovery may shed light on the frustrating brain fog many experience post-infection. By focusing on neuropilin-1 (NRP1), researchers hope to tackle these neurological challenges and assess the long-term Alzheimer's risk tied to COVID-19.
