Exploring brain function changes in people with long-term effects of COVID-19
Understanding Circuit Dysfunction in Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection
This study is looking at how COVID-19 might affect your brain and mental health, like causing memory problems or anxiety, and it's for people who have had COVID-19 and want to understand their symptoms better.

What this research studies
This research investigates the neuropsychiatric symptoms experienced by individuals who have had COVID-19, such as cognitive impairment, anxiety, and autonomic dysfunction. By utilizing the resources of the NeuroCOVID Clinic and The COVID Mind Study at Yale, the research aims to understand how these symptoms are linked to changes in brain function. Participants will undergo neuroimaging and cognitive testing to identify biological markers associated with their symptoms. The goal is to provide a clearer understanding of the brain's circuitry in those affected by post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals who have experienced neuropsychiatric symptoms following a COVID-19 infection.
Not a fit: Patients who have not contracted COVID-19 or do not exhibit any neuropsychiatric symptoms may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment options for individuals suffering from long-term effects of COVID-19.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown promising results in understanding the neurological impacts of viral infections, suggesting that this approach could yield valuable insights.
