To investigate further, we used structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examine differences for the limbic dorsolateral prefrontal regions between healthy Results showed increased caudal anterior, isthmus, posterior cingulate gyrus as well rostral middle frontal respectively along higher isthmus COVID. Cortical volumes interest (ROIs) were also associated severity measures, clinical dementia rating, anxiety scores group. Our findings provide supporting evidence hypertrophy
