Scientists observe altered brain metabolism and connectivity in COVID-19 patients

A new study published in the journal Neuroscience finds that individuals recovering from COVID-19 exhibit signs of a potential brain repair and recovery process. The research reveals that survivors have higher levels of specific brain chemicals associated with neuron health and plasticity, which are in turn linked to better brain structure and fewer cognitive complaints. The persistence of neurological and psychiatric symptoms after a COVID-19 i…
