Brain Changes: The Lingering Effects of COVID-19
14 November 2022
9:00 AM - 10:00 AM PST
Session Description
An estimated 20% of adults in the U.S. who had COVID-19 in the past report at least one long COVID symptom. New studies provide further evidence that through neuroinflammation, SARS-CoV-2 can impact brain function for months after infection across age groups. Researchers will share their findings on the persistent implications of COVID-19 on the sensorimotor brain regions of children, on memory and cognition in a mouse model, and on the visuoconstructive abilities of adults — months post-infection.
