Long-term follow-up of brain regional changes and the association with cognitive impairment in quarantined COVID-19 survivors

ConclusionsOur findings indicate a subjective cognitive decline in quarantined COVID-19 survivors 15  months after discharge, which is associated with brain structural alterations in the left Heschl's gyrus. The observed elevation of inflammatory markers suggests a potential mechanism involving inflammation-induced neurogenesis. These results contribute to our understanding of the possible mechani sms underlying long-term neuropsychiatric consequences of COVID-19 and highlight the need for further research to develop targeted interventions.
