Long Covid Linked to Brain Changes, Cognitive Decline. New imaging research on 200+ people suggests post-COVID brain changes contribute to cognitive decline similar to early neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and may be predictive of future dementia risk. Source: archive.md/0TDTt
An article preview from Medscape titled "Long Covid Linked to Brain Changes, Cognitive Decline," written by Heidi Splete.
The headline is accompanied by a 3D medical illustration of several SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) particles. The primary virus in focus is a dark blue sphere covered in prominent, textured orange spike proteins. Similar viral particles are visible in the blurred background against a dark, speckled blue environment that suggests a microscopic or biological space.
