Study provides insight into cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in COVID-19 delirium

Researchers from King's College London have shown that when brain cells are directly exposed to blood taken from COVID-19 patients with delirium, there is an increase in cell death and a decrease in the generation of new brain cells.
