The identification of a metabolic pathway could lead to answers and new treatments for those experiencing brain fog because of long COVID. Researchers from UNSW Sydney and St. Vincent's Hospital have identified a key pathway, involved in inflammation, which appears to be activated in people with long COVID who have symptoms of 'brain fog'. Scientists from the School of Psychology and Faculty of Medicine & Health found that of the study cohort of 128 people, those who had a prolonged activation of the kynurenine pathway were more likely to have mild cognitive deficits 12 months after developing COVID-19.

Consequently, they've made history by decoding a recognizable song from electrical brain activity. The reconstruction is nowhere near perfect, but The Guardian says it could help those with brain disorders restore the 'musicality of natural speech.' This experiment is more than a gimmicky way to reproduce an old song. It shows we have the technology and skills to translate brain activity into thoughts.

PARIS—Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho died Friday, June 2, in Paris at the age of 70, her family and publisher said in separate statements. Her family said she had died in her bed at her Paris home, having lived in the French capital for four decades. 'Kaija fought against illness with all her might and with grace,' said her publisher Chester Music. Saariaho—a rare case of a female composer breaking through the glass ceiling and a figurehead for a generation of Finnish artists—won France's Victoires de la Musique Classique accolade for her opera Innocence last year.
