The cluster of neurological symptoms associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection, the virus that causes COVID-19, suggests the virus can enter the brain and affect neural function. New findings were presented at Neuroscience 2021, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world’s largest source of emerging news about brain science and health.
Although much of the attention on COVID-19 centers on its respiratory effects, the virus has significant neurological manifestations as well. Many people infected with SARS-CoV-2 report neurological and psychiatric symptoms, including headache, loss of sense of smell and taste, hallucinations, vivid dreams, depression, fatigue, “brain fog,” and even seizures or stroke. These symptoms suggest the virus is capable of reaching the brain and may also affect other areas of the nervous system. Even for those who initially recover, many will experience lingering cognitive or neurological problems for months post-infection.
