Long COVID Symptoms Linked to Mood-Processing Brain Activity, Not Widespread Inflammation

A University of Turku study using PET and MRI found no evidence of widespread brain inflammation in long COVID patients compared with healthy controls. Inflammation may be higher earlier after infection and fade over time. More severe symptoms correlated with increased activity in emotion-related regions (hippocampus and amygdala), suggesting treatments focusing on stress management and emotional regulation rather than solely anti-inflammatory approaches.

A DeWitt clinic, specializing in Alzheimer's research, is currently seeking recruits for a new national study on the disease. Velocity Clinical Research Syracuse, which was founded six years ago, initially focused on recruiting end-of-life patients for a study aimed at detecting Alzheimer's before symptoms appeared. The clinic's procedure, involving a PET scan, has since been approved by federal regulators.
