Brain inflammation can cause muscle fatigue by disrupting brain-to-muscle communication, study finds.

Researchers found that brain inflammation from infections or chronic diseases like long COVID and Alzheimer's can cause muscle fatigue by altering the brain-to-muscle communication pathway. This pathway depletes muscle energy without damaging muscle structure, leading to fatigue. This discovery could lead to new treatments for muscle weakness in conditions like long COVID and Alzheimer's.
