Gray matter thickness may be reduced in specific brain areas after SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection
Study on 61 men MRI scanned pre and post omicron covid. "Decrease in gray matter thickness in the left precuneus and right lateral occipital regions of the brain. Ratio of the right hippocampus volume to total brain volume decreased."
Average age of man in study: 43
Alzheimer's-like brain changes found in long COVID patients
“New research from the University of Kentucky's Sanders-Brown Center on Aging shows compelling evidence that the cognitive impairments observed in long COVID patients share striking similarities with those seen in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.”

Does Long COVID Lead to Alzheimer's? A New Study Took an Unexpected Turn
“More than one in ten people who catch COVID don’t fully recover — developing a chronic condition called Long COVID which causes a variety of debilitating symptoms, including brain fog. Since some studies have found that COVID infections are associated with overall brain shrinkage, altered brain structure, and an increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s, researchers have been investigating the links between COVID and Alzheimer’s.”
