Long-term cognitive effects of Covid-19 recovery.
A study by the Laboratory of Neural Circuits and Behaviour (LNCB) at Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune (IISER) and BJ Medical College and Sassoon General Hospital has found that Covid-19 infection could affect the cognitive abilities of patients even up to 4-18 months after recovery. The study used a special device, called the olfactory-action meter, to test how well people can smell different odours and remember them. The study suggested that Covid-19 may cause long-term problems with thinking and memory, including problems with memory, attention, language and other cognitive functions.
