Overview
Brief Summary
Recent studies suggest cognitive, emotional and behavioural impairments occur in patients after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Problems with memory, attention, information processing and executive functions are particularly prevalent in these patients, probably due to hypothesised sensitivity of the hippocampus to the virus. Cognitive impairment is also present in patients with no neurological, neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric history. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to describe neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric features in patients recovered from moderate to severe forms of Covid-19 some weeks after hospital dismission.
