The regions that displayed the most significant differentiations in susceptibility values are known to be associated with neurological conditions such as fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, headaches and other cognitive issues—all common complaints among many COVID long haulers. 

The findings were also found to be associated with the severity of symptoms in individuals with ASD.

Researchers recently presented a new method that considers how already existing lesions grow over time as an indicator of disease progression.

Vessel wall imaging—an MRI technique that offers high resolution images of the vessel wall—may hold clues as to the mechanisms by which COVID infections continue to cause neurologic symptoms after initial recovery in some patients.  

In the case of a convicted murderer, a New York neuro specialist cited a slew of neuroimaging findings that indicate “severe dysfunction” that could have numbed the defendant’s “brakes of inhibition.” 

The preliminary results of a new study published in the medRxiv preprint server highlight variances in fetal brain development based on mothers’ perceived stress during the onset of COVID.

Compared to a group of patients who had not been previously diagnosed with Lyme disease, those who had been infected displayed unusual activity in the frontal lobe of the brain on functional MRI scans.

Using MRI imaging, the experts found that patients who experienced functional seizures had thinning in the superior temporal cortex and thickening of the left occipital cortex.
