It is thought that SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes Covid) can infiltrate the central nervous system and cause long-lasting neurological problems. One theory is that a Covid infection leads to chemicals circulating through the bloodstream that end up impacting the blood-brain barrier and the brain's ability to launch an inflammatory response against the virus. Based on this, what two cell types do you think are most likely to be affected? O a. Oligodendrocytes and microglia O b. Astrocytes and Schwann cells O c. Microglia and Schwann cells o d. Astrocytes and oligodendrocytes O e. Astrocytes and microglia
