Fig. 2: Self-report and MRI results in Session 2.

A. COVID-19 survivors had significantly higher PCL-5 total scores than controls. B. For the 23 COVID-19 survivors completed both sessions, the PCL-5 total score was increased by approximately 20% from Session 1 to Session 2. The changes of the score were significantly positively correlated with the duration between the two sessions. C. COVID-19 survivors had significantly higher gray matter volumes in bilateral hippocampus and amygdala than controls. The volumes of the left amygdala and left hippocampus were significantly negatively correlated with the PCL-5 total scores. D. ALFF values in bilateral hippocampus and amygdala were significantly higher in COVID-19 survivors than controls. Hipp: hippocampus, Amy: amygdala. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. Asterisks represent p < 0.05.
