Sumario: | SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID)-19, has become a persistent global health threat. Individuals who are symptomatic for COVID-19 frequently exhibit respiratory illness, which is often accompanied by neurological symptoms of anosmia and fatigue. Mounting clinical data also indicate that many COVID patients display long-term neurological disorders post-infection such as cognitive decline, which emphasizes the need to further elucidate the effects of COVID on the central nervous system. In this review article, we summarize an emerging body of literature describing the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on central nervous system (CNS) health and highlight important areas of future investigation. |
