Learn about the neurological impacts of COVID-19, particularly the phenomenon of "brain fog," in this 20-minute talk by Stanford pediatric neuro-oncologist Michelle Monje. Discover the parallels between COVID-related cognitive symptoms and "chemo-fog," exploring how inflammation in the brain leads to issues with attention, concentration, memory, and mental sharpness. Gain insights into the latest research on brain fog's causes, its similarities to other neurological conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome, and potential treatment developments. Examine how even mild COVID-19 cases can trigger neural cell and myelin dysregulation, leading to long-term cognitive effects that impact daily life. Access multiple scientific references and media coverage that further explain the neurobiology of long COVID and its implications for brain health.

As a med student studying microbiology, this topic was really helpful to me! Learning about COVID-19 was so new to me but this kinda gave an overview for the other complications that can happen. Really loved it!
