A new study suggests that remnants of the coronavirus lingering in the gut may trigger serotonin reduction, which could explain memory problems and other neurological symptoms experienced by some long Covid patients. Experts believe that depleted serotonin levels may be the cause of these cognitive issues. Scientists plan to test whether medication that boosts serotonin, such as SSRIs, can help alleviate these symptoms.
