"Study reveals calcium build-up as potential cause of chemo brain fog in cancer patients"
Researchers believe they have identified the cause of "chemo-brain," a condition characterized by memory and attention problems in cancer patients undergoing treatment. The study suggests that an excess of calcium floating in the brain may be responsible for these cognitive symptoms. The findings could potentially lead to new treatments to restore cognitive function in cancer patients. Excess calcium build-up is also associated with cognitive deficits in other conditions such as Alzheimer's, long Covid, and PTSD.
