Emerging evidence shows that virus proteins are able to crossover into the brain
This may have dire consequences, as the proteins can be toxic to brain tissues
Increasing amounts of evidence suggest that the novel coronavirus has negative effects on cognitive function, as some Covid-19 patients have shown symptoms indicating that their cognitive function has been affected.
Health24 previously reported on a study showing that the virus enters the brain through nerve cells in the olfactory mucosa (the cells that contain receptors for taste and smell). Now, a newer study, also assessing the cognitive effects of the virus, looks at how it enters our brains.
