Background: The global outbreak of COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has been linked to long-term neurological complications, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) among seniors. However, the precise genetic impact of COVID-19 on long-term AD development remains unclear.

Method: This study leveraged genome-wide association study (GWAS) data and genotype data to explore the genetic correlation between AD and various COVID-19 phenotypes across European ancestry (EA) and African ancestry (AA).

Background: The use of videoconference platforms for neuropsychological assessment was not as common among mental health practitioners before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to lockdowns and quarantines worldwide, mental health professionals had to find a feasible alternative and shift to virtual evaluations. This increased the use of teleneuropsychology in both at a clinical and research level.

Background: African Americans (AA) are disproportionately affected by Long COVID, highlighting the need for targeted research to understand the enduring consequences of COVID-19 within this community. Among the array of symptoms associated with post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), cognitive impairments emerge as a significant concern affecting up to 19% of COVID survivors. In this study, our goal is to comprehensively characterize the specific cognitive domains impacted in older AA adults.

Background: Traumatic encephalopathy syndrome (TES) is the proposed clinical syndrome of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease associated with repetitive head impacts in contact/collision sports. A core clinical feature of TES is cognitive impairment, particularly in memory and executive functions. Cognitive intraindividual variability (IIV) is the extent of variability in neuropsychological test performance (i.
