Altered Functional Connectivity of the Olfactory Cortex in Post-COVID-19 Brain Network
Motivation: To investigate the persistent effects on the brain following recovery from COVID-19. Goal(s): To examine differences in brain’s functional connectivity between post-COVID-19 subjects and healthy controls. Approach: To use resting-state fMRI data to identify brain functional networks. Results: Post-COVID subjects exhibited higher functional connectivity in a brain network including the left olfactory cortex as the main hub connected to other brain regions. Impact: We observed that post-COVID-19 subjects continue to exhibit significant anomalies in the olfactory cortex of the brain. These results support previous findings and highlight the relevance of research from a fMRI perspective for investigating the effects on brain of COVID-19.
