Multimodal MRI Reveals Consistent Basal Ganglia and Limbic System Alterations in COVID-19 Survivors
Multimodal MRI Reveals Consistent Basal Ganglia and Limbic System Alterations in COVID-19 Survivors

“Around 30% of those infected with COVID-19 experience lingering symptoms, with young adults showing cognitive impairments even two years after infection. Symptoms include persistent fatigue, trouble concentrating, and memory difficulties.”
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.”

New neuroscience research shows COVID-19 leaves mark on young adult brains
“A new study published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity has found that young adults who have recovered from COVID-19 show distinct patterns of brain activity during cognitive tasks, even if they perform normally on those tasks. These brain activity changes are similar to those seen in much older adults and are particularly pronounced in individuals reporting ‘brain fog.’”

Vaccination Does Not Impact Long COVID Neurological Symptoms
“Vaccination prior to COVID-19 infection does not significantly affect neurological symptoms in patients with postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, according to a study published online Jan. 7 in Brain Communications”
