COVID-19 may infect brain cells: study

The video discusses how the SARS-CoV-2 virus may infect and replicate in brain cells, using mini brains to simulate its effects. It highlights the virus's ability to infect neurons and multiply significantly. The video also addresses the role of inflammation in breaking down the blood-brain barrier, which could allow the virus to penetrate the brain.
