The neurologist and researchers discovered that the virus attacks those brain cells responsible for motor functions, memory and concentration.
Quoted from the article : "It also causes inflammation, which damages more brain cells, or neurons. And, Power explained, the virus can also stop brain cells' ability to rid themselves of unwanted toxic proteins, which accumulate and cause even more damage."
