Simplified

Brain fog is a subjective experience characterised by forgetfulness, poor concentration, mental slowness, dissociation and fatigue, with individuals describing experiences such as a 'mental wall' over formerly simple tasks. During and after the 2019 pandemic, scientific enquiry into brain fog was revived, explored and studied worldwide.
