Extensive study finds small drop in brain volume after COVID-19
Infection by SARS-CoV-2 causes a dizzying array of symptoms beyond the respiratory distress that is its most notable feature. These range from intestinal distress to blood clots to the loss of smell, and symptoms vary wildly from person to person.
Figuring out exactly what the virus does inside the human body is likely to take years. But we got a bit of data this week from a detailed study of images of the brains of COVID patients. The images were taken before and after the patients were infected. The results suggest some regions of the brain connected to the olfaction system may shrink slightly in the wake of an infection, although the effect is minor and its consequences are unclear.
...Various regions in the brain shrank, typically by something on the order of 0.2 to 2.0 percent—a difference that would normally take about five years to occur due to the natural decline that occurs with aging. The difference appeared to be due to changes in the brain's "gray matter"—the bodies of the nerve cells themselves, rather than the white matter used to establish connections between cells.
