LongCovidLearning.org topic: Loss of brain “gray matter”

Imaging of the brain before and after Covid infection showed significant loss of brain tissue — even for "mild" cases that did not require hospitalization — in areas responsible for behavioral and emotional response, memory, and more.

The reduction in overall cortical gray matter is equivalent to what older adults lose over years of aging.
