A recent study from the UK reviewed brain scans of 785 people from before and after the pandemic began (a strength of the study is they compared scans of the *same* people, and included a control group) to measure changes to the brain across time. It study found that the people who had tested positive for COVID had significant brain damage, including loss of gray matter among other damages to brain tissue. The pathological changes to the brain were matched by evidence of cognitive decline in tests that assessed the cognitive function of the cohort. The findings held firm even with those who had mild cases of COVID.

Note that this is pre-print paper that is undergoing peer review.
