The social and emotional effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on teenagers may have resulted in accelerated brain aging in adolescents, according to a new study.

COVID lockdowns may have caused teenagers' brains to age prematurely, research suggests. This accelerated maturation was particularly pronounced in young girls, with potentially irreversible structural changes seen in all areas of their brains.

Four years later, we are learning how the pandemic lockdowns may have impacted the teenage brain. Today, the University of Washington (UW) published its findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

New research has found that lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in unusually accelerated brain maturation in adolescents. This maturation was more pronounced in females.
