Recorded Webinar “COVID-19 and Brain Dysfunction: Evolving Understanding”

Luria Neuroscience Institute is pleased to announce the webinar “COVID-19 and Brain Dysfunction: Evolving Understanding.” This webinar is a considerable expansion and update of the webinar offered a few months ago. Knowledge about the impact of COVID-19 on the brain is rapidly accumulating and this is reflected in our new webinar. In this new webinar, we review the emerging understanding of the multiple ways in which COVID-19 affects the human brain, discuss the likelihood of long-term sequelae of neuro-COVID, their implications for cognitive functions, and the potential role of neuropsychology in addressing them.

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 Brain Dysfunction: Evolving Understanding

COVID-19 is a viral illness caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which has become a global pandemic. In this webinar we will examine the expanding evidence of COVID-19 impact on the human brain, the multiple clinical neurological, neuropsychiatric, and neurocognitive manifestations of this impact, and their long-term sequelae.
