#Covid cognitive deficits even 12-18months AFTER hospitalisation associated with reduced #brain volume on MRI and #brain-injury biomarkers in blood. OUT TODAY in Nature Medicine

nature.com/articles/s4159… Link to paper- for me the most interesting finding was cognitive deficits were largely driven by depression- also raises ? Is acute covid depressogenic

Cognitive, imaging and brain injury biomarker evidence for significant long-term brain consequences for COVID-19 infection. Great work from Greta Karen Wood Professor Benedict D Michael MBChB, FRCP, PhD and many others out today in Nature Medicine

The brain injury 1 year post-Covid hospitalization, systematically assessed with MRI (reduced grey matter), biomarkers, and cognitive deficits "equivalent in magnitude to aging from 50 to 70 years of age." nature.com/articles/s4159… Nature Medicine Greta Karen Wood Professor Benedict D Michael MBChB, FRCP, PhD

2 minute summary of our work published in Nature Medicine this week: 1 year after hospitalisation with COVID-19 we found cognitive deficits equivalent to 20 years of ageing associated with raised brain injury proteins and reduced grey matter volume nature.com/articles/s4159…

Important study. Great work Greta, Brendon,and team.🤯

A new study published in Nature Medicine, which used #BioResource volunteer data, has linked #COVID19 hospitalisations to significant cognitive decline & brain structure changes, even after a year post-recovery. Discover more here: bit.ly/4doWlV0

How are cortical changes in temporal lobe epilepsy related to the hippocampus, and what does this mean for treatment? Our study in JAMA Neurology shows that white matter changes, cortical atrophy, and successful neurostimulation map to brain networks connected to the hippocampus!

Did a little podcast on research into Parkinson’s disease and the importance of science communication & public engagement 🧠 🗣️ Go on… give it a listen, promise it’s super interesting Even roped POLLYANNA WARD in to be the naive voice of reason 👓

Out today! We report results from a PK11195 PET and DCE-MRI study investigating neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier breakdown in acute, clinical intracerebral hemorrhage. Laura Parkes Adrian Parry-Jones GJBrainResearch journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…

On #WorldMentalHeathDay we would like to extend a huge thank you to all patients, families, clinicians and others who give their time to research ⭐️🧠 this is hugely important in improving our understanding of mental health - thank you!
