Recorded Webinar “COVID-19 AND THE BRAIN”

Luria Neuroscience Institute is pleased to announce the webinar “COVID-19 and the Brain.” The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all of us and has changed our world in unfathomable ways. In order to cope with, and eventually overcome this new disease, we need to understand it in all its aspects. In this new webinar, we review the emerging knowledge of how COVID-19 affects the human brain, and discuss the timeliness of the construct “neuro-COVID-19.”

The webinar features Elkhonon Goldberg, Ph.D., ABPP., a clinical neuropsychologist and cognitive neuroscientist, and Diplomate of The American Board of Professional Psychology in Clinical Neuropsychology. His critically acclaimed and bestselling books have been translated into 21 languages.

COVID-19 AND THE BRAIN

Date and time:
May 16, 2020 (Saturday) from 12pm to 1pm Eastern Time (11am – 12pm Central Time, 9am – 10am Pacific Time)
May 21, 2020 (Thursday) from 4pm to 5pm Eastern Time (3pm – 4pm Central Time, 1pm – 2pm Pacific Time)

COVID-19 is a viral illness caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which has become a global pandemic affecting all of us. While it has been originally characterized as respiratory illness, a growing body of evidence suggests that the brain may also be affected. In this webinar we will examine the emerging evidence of COVID-19 impact on the human brain and the multiple clinical neurological manifestations of this impact. In addition, we will briefly review the impact of diseases caused by other coronaviruses (SARS, MERS), as well as HIV and HSV, on the brain.

1. COVID-19 and the brain: neuroimaging, neuropathological, and genetic findings.
2. Clinical neurological and neuropsychiatric manifestations of COVID-19.
3. Other coronavirus-related illnesses: SARS, MERS, and the brain.
4. Other viral encephalopathies: HIV and HSV.
5. Is neuro-Covid-19 a useful construct?
