Post-COVID neurocognitive disorders

Abstract

The article discusses the causes and mechanisms of cognitive disorders in patients who have recovered from COVID-19. A review of scientific publications in recent years has shown that the impairment of central nervous system function is one of the key features of coronavirus infection. Post-COVID neurological syndrome is observed in most patients. The authors have summarized data on the penetration of viruses into brain structures and studied the leading mechanisms of nervous system damage associated with viral infection. Promising directions for the prevention and treatment of neurocognitive disorders associated with past coronavirus infection are proposed.
