The results were that the developmental process had sped up in those involved while they were experiencing the pandemic.

The features indicate they had "older-appearing brains."

After comparing pre-pandemic MRI scans of older teens to scans taken during COVID-19, researchers at Stanford University discovered the pandemic aged teens' brains by about three years.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — A Stanford University study published Thursday found that stress from the COVID-19 pandemic prematurely aged adolescents’ brains, making them more like those of peers about three years older. By comparing MRI scans from children taken before the pandemic with scans from other kids taken during the pandemic, the study found that changes in brain structure that occur naturally ...

The pandemic-related stress has physically altered adolescents' brains, making their brain structures appear several years older than the brains of comparable peers before the pandemic, a new study has revealed.Until now, these sorts of ...

The brains of adolescents who were assessed after the pandemic shutdowns ended appeared several years older than those of teens who were assessed before the pandemic. Until now, such accelerated changes in “brain age” have only been seen in children experiencing chronic adversity, such as neglect and family dysfunction.

The brains of US teens have physically changed during the Covid-19 pandemic, aging faster than normal, a new study says.

Before the pandemic, premature aging of children's brains was observed in cases of chronic childhood stress, trauma, abuse and neglect.

It’s not just mental health that COVID has affected; new research suggests that the pandemic has physically affected the structures of teens brains.

The brains of U.S. teens have physically changed during the COVID-19 pandemic, aging faster than normal, a new study says.
