New paper ➡️ Ultra-high-field brain scans reveal brain chemistry of severe Covid-19 survivors. The study revealed higher levels of an inflammation marker called myo-inositol in patients who reported poorer mental health after a COVID-19 infection.

Congratulations to PhD student Natalia Owen for her Stroke Association Postgraduate Fellowship.
She researches #CADASIL, which affects the small blood vessels in the brain and can lead to #stroke. Her goal is to discover early warning signs of the disease and clues for targeted treatments.
