Structural brain changes in post-COVID condition and its relationship with cognitive impairment
Even mild COVID can cause brain shrinkage and affect mental function, new study shows
“Brain changes including shrinkage, weakened connections and poorer performance on thinking and memory tests could explain ‘brain fog’ after COVID – even after ‘mild’ cases.”
Cognitive deficits after COVID-19 associated with brain injury biomarkers and volume loss

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
