"Study: 'Havana Syndrome' Patients Show No Brain Injuries"
A five-year study by the National Institutes of Health found no evidence of brain injuries or degeneration among U.S. diplomats and government employees experiencing symptoms of the mysterious "Havana syndrome." Advanced tests revealed no significant differences in brain volume, structure, or cognitive function compared to healthy individuals, offering some reassurance for patients. While the study couldn't pinpoint the cause of the symptoms, it contradicted earlier findings and raised questions about the nature of the health issues. The State Department is reviewing the findings, emphasizing the importance of providing affected individuals with respectful and timely medical care.
