Covid-19 patients who receive oxygen therapy or experience fever show reduced gray matter volume in the frontal-temporal network of the brain, according to a new study led by researchers at Georgia State University and the Georgia Institute of Technology.
The study found lower gray matter volume in this brain region was associated with a higher level of disability among Covid-19 patients, even six months after hospital discharge.

Gray matter is vital for processing information in the brain and gray matter abnormality may affect how well neurons function and communicate.
The study, which appears in the
Neurobiology of Stress, indicates gray matter in the frontal network could represent a core region for brain involvement in COVID-19, even beyond damage related to clinical manifestations of the disease, such as stroke.

A research professor in the Elliott School of International Affairs is developing new technology that can bring cleaner and more affordable power to low-income communities in the District by next calendar year.
Robert Orttung, the director of research for Sustainable GW, is working on a pilot project with members of four schools at GW to develop microgrids – smaller self-functioning versions of a typical electrical system – that can provide electricity to households even when the main electrical grid goes down during a storm. He said he hopes to implement the technology in the District next year and eliminate the high cost of energy for low-income and minority groups in Wards 7 and 8.

Washington State University has awarded nine New Faculty Seed Grants to encourage new junior-level faculty to develop research, scholarly, or creative programs that provide the potential for sustained professional development and extramural support.
The Office of Research and the Office of the Provost provide support for the New Faculty Seed Grant program. The nine proposals selected this year represent the broad range of scholarly activity taking place at WSU, including agricultural sciences, fine arts, education, engineering, health and life sciences, physical science and math, and social sciences. Individual grants are awarded up to a maximum of $25,000. The total amount of grant funding provided to this year’s recipients is $200,000.
