Oral antiviral medications – including Paxlovid – showed no significant association with serious adverse events. These findings offer reassurance to patients who may require COVID-19 treatment, particularly those with risk factors such as advanced age, obesity, cardiovascular issues, diabetes, or compromised immune systems. “The main message is, if your doctor puts you on Paxlovid, you

The research team used brain imaging in humans with the condition and laboratory mice with similar genetic modifications to track these changes. “Differences in functional connectivity observed on MRI are
