University of Minnesota research project will study impact of long COVID on brains

How do you research the effects of long COVID-19 on Black and brown people when most volunteers for medical studies are white?

University of Minnesota researchers this year started recruiting participants for a study on long COVID. MRI scans, they said, could help shed light on the reported neurological symptoms of the condition, such as headaches and brain fog.

The COVID-BRAIN Project researchers especially want to study those effects in individuals hit hardest by the virus: Black, Latino and Native people. But of the 26 enrolled participants so far, all are white and 19 are female.
