What mechanisms drive the nonlinear fluctuation pattern of white matter free water in post-COVID patients?

OPEN

The study reports WM-FW shows nonlinear fluctuations over 5 years but provides no mechanistic explanation for this temporal pattern. Understanding this could reveal fundamental processes of neuroinflammatory recovery and guide treatment timing.
