Professor Massimo Hilliard and Dr Ramon Martinez-Marmol from the Queensland Brain Institute have explored how viruses alter the function of the nervous system. SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has been detected in the brains of people with ‘long COVID’, and causes neurons to undergo a cell fusion process. The discovery offers a potential explanation for persistent neurological effects after a viral infection.
