“New study just dropped: MRI scans of young kids post-COVID show changes in brain structure—even after mild infection. Here’s what the researchers found, how they did it, and why it matters.”
Multimodal MRI analysis of COVID-19 effects on pediatric brain
Even mild Covid changes children’s brains.
“We speculate that viral-triggered neuroinflammation and immune response contribute to neurotoxic damage in brain regions involved in cognitive processing, ultimately resulting in alterations in cortical morphology and glymphatic function.”

“But this week 2 new publications have substantially added to our understanding of the extent that Covid can impair cognitive function across the full gamut— from young, healthy individuals with mild infections to older, hospitalized patients with severe Covid.”

“Our results suggest that Long COVID is not the same for everyone.”

A groundbreaking study aims to determine if long COVID-19 could lead to another type of dementia
“‘…there is evidence of fragments or an inflammatory kind of a massive inflammatory response that occurs triggered by COVID. And those inflammatory markers we tend to notice in the brain.’
And that could cause something called COVID-19 Cognitive Impairment.
‘And we are going to compare people with COVID cognitive impairment. To be clear on this, I think that COVID can cause cognitive impairment and maybe even dementia…’”
