During the pandemic, the human brain aged faster
The coronavirus pandemic that began in 2020 had a significant impact not only on the global economy but also on the functioning of the human brain. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
According to new scientific research, it has been found that the brains of healthy individuals aged faster during the pandemic. This indicates that similar changes occurred in the neurological state of all individuals, whether infected or not.
The study analyzed brain scans of 15,334 healthy adults. The average age of participants was 63, and the changes in their brains during the pandemic were examined in various areas.
Using machine learning methods, it was determined that the brains of those who experienced coronavirus aged 5.5 months faster. The results of cognitive tests showed that brain activity decreased mainly among those who were infected during the pandemic.
These changes were particularly noticeable among men, the elderly, and members of unstable families. Scientists also studied the impact of vaccination on the brain, but no significant differences were found between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.
Experts emphasize that the impact of coronavirus on the human brain is closely linked to economic and social factors. The pandemic affected the mental health of the population, stress levels, and social connections.
Therefore, measures to improve emotional well-being, reduce stress, and strengthen social relationships are of great importance. In conclusion, the pandemic was a new test for the human brain.
Based on the scientific research conducted in this area, it is necessary to implement specific and effective measures aimed at protecting the health of each individual and ensuring the well-being of society. This is important not only for improving the current situation but also for preventing potential problems in the future.
