Unusual brain connections detected in chronic lung disease

Published on October 17, 2022

You know how roads connect different cities? Well, our brains have their own network of connections too. But scientists have found that in people with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), these brain connections are a bit wonky. Using advanced imaging techniques, they discovered that both the static and dynamic functional networks in the brains of COPD patients showed abnormalities. It’s like if the road between two cities suddenly took a detour through a third city for no apparent reason! This discovery sheds light on how COPD can affect not only the lungs but also the brain. By understanding these abnormal brain connections, researchers may be able to develop new ways to manage and treat COPD-related cognitive impairments. Exciting stuff! If you want to dive deep into the details, check out the full article.
