  • To try to save you a click instead of snarking, here’s a quick summary of the main paragraphs:

    The authors found that individuals with the symptoms had lower serum levels of nerve growth factor (NGF), a protein essential for neuron development, brain plasticity, and cognitive functions like memory and mental flexibility. These subjects also had elevated levels of interleukin-10, an anti-inflammatory protein involved in immune regulation. Additionally, the group exhibited declines in “letter fluency,” reflecting impaired executive functions such as working memory and attention to detail.

    So there might be something there, but more research is needed. That’s the point of a small-scale study.
