Decoding Chemo Brain: New Clues About How Cancer Treatment Affects the Brain
Understanding Chemo Brain: Beyond Cancer Elimination Cancer is a daunting diagnosis, but many patients face an additional challenge after treatment ends: a phenomenon commonly known as chemo brain or brain fog. This mix of cognitive issues—memory lapses, finding the right word, and trouble concentrating—affects up to three-quarters of cancer patients in some studies. For many,…

Decoding Secrets Of ‘Chemo Brain’: Lymphatics, Brain Fog, and the Path Forward
Understanding Chemo Brain: A Hidden Challenge for Cancer Survivors Cancer treatment often focuses on eradicating malignant cells, but many patients face a persistent, less-visible consequence: chemo brain, also known as brain fog. This collection of cognitive symptoms includes memory lapses, trouble finding words, and difficulties concentrating. Studies suggest as many as three in four cancer…

Decoding Secrets Of ‘Chemo Brain’: Lymphatic Links to Cognitive Effects
Understanding Chemo Brain and Its Hidden Costs Cancer patients often face a second, less visible challenge after diagnosis and treatment: chemo brain, also known as brain fog. This constellation of cognitive symptoms—memory lapses, trouble finding words, and difficulty concentrating—can linger long after chemotherapy ends. Estimates from multiple studies suggest up to three-in-four patients experience some…

New findings tie Long COVID brain fog to AMPA receptor changes
Overview: Long COVID brain fog and a search for molecular clues Long COVID has emerged as one of the most persistent health challenges of the post-pandemic era. Among its most troubling consequences is cognitive impairment, commonly referred to as “brain fog,” which disrupts memory, attention, and problem-solving for many patients. While neuroimaging has revealed structural…

Unraveling Long COVID Brain Fog: AMPA Receptors Spotlighted by PET Imaging
New Molecular Insight into Long COVID Brain Fog As the world continues to grapple with the consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection, Long COVID — a condition characterized by lingering symptoms after the acute illness — remains poorly understood. Among the most disabling manifestations is cognitive impairment, colloquially known as brain fog, which affects a significant portion…

Molecular Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog Revealed by AMPAR PET Imaging
Groundbreaking findings illuminate the biology of Long COVID brain fog In a landmark study led by Professor Takuya Takahashi at Yokohama City University, researchers used a novel PET imaging approach to visualize AMPA receptors (AMPARs) in living brains. The team compared 30 patients suffering from Long COVID with 80 healthy controls and found a systemic…
