Long-term findings on working memory neural dynamics in healthcare workers after mild COVID-19

CONCLUSIONS: This neural pattern suggests the presence of a decrement of processing resources linked to the encoding of sensory information (N1), followed by the enhanced of the P2 response which could be interpreted as the activation of compensation mechanism in COVID-19 participants.SIGNIFICANCE: The current findings point out that ERPs could serve as valuable neural indices for detecting distinctive patterns in working memory functioning of COVID-19 participants, even in mild cases. However, further research is required to precisely ascertain the long-term cognitive effects of COVID-19 beyond one-year post-infection.PMID:38447493 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.01.010
