Xiaocha sent from the qubit of the concave temple | public account QbitAI The new crown is severe and life-threatening, but the mild disease of the new crown cannot be ignored, because it will affect your memory
.
Recently, a study from the University of Oxford found that people who have had the new crown will show a decline in concentration and memory for up to 6 to 9 months
.
The paper has been published in the Oxford University academic journal Brain Communications
.
Unexpectedly, the author of this paper happens to be Zhao Sijia, the famous answerer of Zhihu
.
So someone asked a question on Zhihu, and the author really came to interpret the paper in person
.
Let's take a look at what the paper says
.
Paper content The study recruited 126 volunteers, 53 of whom had previously suffered from COVID-19
.
The team didn't tell them beforehand that it was a test about the new crown, just let them play a "brain game
.
"
The content of the game is very relaxing and interesting, including 12 test contents, covering a total of attention, memory, reaction ability, planning ability, language and logic ability and visual imagination ability
.
The tests were run in the following order: motor control, target memory (immediate), word memory (immediate), simple reaction task, choice reaction time, 2D rotation, 3D rotation, spatial span, target detection, Tower of London, language analogy, target memory (delayed) ) and word memory (delay)
.
The specific content is shown in the figure below: Take the first test in the above figure as an example: the participant is instructed to press the space bar on the keyboard as soon as they see "0" (the target is displayed randomly, with a probability of 25%); other numbers No response is required
.
The translucent lattice pattern masks the numbers, and the difficulty is controlled by adjusting the opacity of the lattice
.
After each test, participants were also asked to report their level of fatigue and motivation
.
The test is actually not difficult, but after 3 minutes, the correct rate of the new crown group (red) dropped significantly faster than the control group (blue), indicating that the former's attention began to decline rapidly
.
As for other test contents, I will not repeat them here
.
The final paper concludes that the two groups showed significant improvement in indicators of fatigue/disordered sleep (NFI), motivation (AMI), distraction/forgetfulness (CFQ), mood (HADS), and personality (GRIT-S and BFI-S), as well as There is no gender difference
.
Compared with the control group, patients who recovered from the new crown showed a significant decrease in performance on a sustained visual attention task of up to 9 minutes
.
Similar results were obtained after normalizing changes by individual baseline performance, suggesting that the greater drop in attention in the COVID-19 group was independent of individual baseline performance
.
Moreover, the study also found that the shorter the time to healing, the more severe the decline in concentration and memory
.
Previously, a study by the National Institutes of Health found that the virus was found in 79 parts of the new crown patients, including the brain, and traces of viral RNA could still be found in the brain months after symptoms began.
One of the patients even grew up to 230 days
.
But don't worry too much.
The author finally said that this effect is short-term, and the brain's ability will gradually return to normal over time
.
About the author The first author of this paper, Zhao Sijia, is not only a researcher, but also a popular science writer, and also a famous answerer on Zhihu
.
△ Zhao Sijia (picture from BBC) Zhao Sijia has also published a popular science book called "Guide to the Use of the Brain"
.
She holds a BA in Neuroscience, an MSc in Computer Science, a PhD in Neuroscience from UCL, and is currently a postdoctoral fellow in Neuroscience at the University of Oxford
