Estimated researcher: We continue with the cycle of conferences on the occasion of the Xth Anniversary of IBIMA in the Cultural Area of 'El Corte Inglés' in Malaga. On this occasion, under the title 'Covid-19 and cognitive impairment. Before an 8th neurological wave?' , the head of Neurology of the Regional Hospital of Malaga and co-researcher responsible for the IBIMA-Plataforma Bionand 'Neuroimmunology and Neuroinflammation' group will develop a free attendance conference. Date: 9 May 2022. Print: Pedro Serrano Castro. Modality: presence. Time: 19.30h . Free assistance until I complete the capacity. Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infection originated in December 2019 in the Chinese region of Wuhan soon acquired pandemic proportions. Today it has caused more than 500 million contagions and more than 6 million deaths worldwide. But apart from the well-known respiratory affectation that so many deaths and suffering has caused, SARS-CoV-2 is a virus with a certain neuroinvasive capacity and also capable of causing a cytokine storm that could become persistent in the target population. The impact that this situation may have on brain functioning and on the initiation and progression of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases with a neuroinflammatory basis made us speculate from the beginning with the possibility that this infection could become the germ of a delayed pandemic with cognitive symptoms that could have a major impact on public health in the medium or long term. For this reason, given the magnitude of the epidemic and based on historical experiences with previous pandemics, very early researchers of the group of "Neuroimmunology and Neuroinflammation" of IBIMA propose a hypothesis on the possible consequences in neurological pathology to medium/long term, with special attention to neurodegenerative diseases and neuropsychiatric study with a direct neuroinflammatory basis, having in mind the neurologic evidence The results of this study allow us for the first time to know in a thorough way some of the most important aspects of the real impact this infection may have on our brain. All this will be presented in a didactic way at the conference of Dr. Serrano Castro, IBIMA researcher and head of the Neurology Service of the Regional Hospital of Malaga.
