Is Neurodegeneration Accelerated? Investigating COVID-19’s Impact on Dementia via Functional Connectivity
These findings support the hypothesis that COVID-19 contributes to cognitive decline by exacerbating neurodegenerative mechanisms. The disruption of functional brain connectivity observed in D-COVID patients aligns with previous studies suggesting that SARS-CoV-2 may indirectly promote neuronal degeneration. Further longitudinal studies are needed to determine the long-term cognitive consequences of COVID-19 and potential therapeutic interventions to mitigate these effects.
