AI Article Synopsis
- A study found that people who recovered from COVID-19 experience ongoing cognitive issues, specifically with frontal lobe functions, even a year after the infection.
- Participants who had been hospitalized for COVID-19 made more mistakes in eye tracking tasks than both outpatient survivors and healthy individuals.
- The findings suggest that the severity of the COVID-19 illness correlates with lasting cognitive impairments, highlighting the impact of the disease on brain function.
Article Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests persistent cognitive dysfunction after COVID-19. In this cross-sectional study, frontal lobe function was assessed 12 months after the acute phase of the disease, using tailored eye tracking assessments. Individuals who recovered from COVID-19 made significantly more errors in all eye tracking tasks compared to age/sex-matched healthy controls. Furthermore, patients who were treated as inpatients performed worse compared to outpatients and controls. Our results show impaired inhibitory cortical control in individuals who recovered from COVID-19. The association between disease severity and its sequelae may contribute to a better understanding of post-COVID-19 cognitive function.
