The study was conducted by researchers at Trinity College in Ireland.

A man wearing a face mask is seen on a street in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 16, 2022., researchers at Trinity College in Ireland used blood tests to measure certain biological markers and specialized brain images to discover that long COVID patients with brain fog had more permeability or "leakiness" of their blood-brain barrier – offering the first biological evidence that this symptom may be due to underlying changes in the brain.
