Patients with COVID-19 present a host of neurological impairments, including reduced ability to smell or taste, altered mental status, stroke, seizure, and even delirium.

Instead, researchers find widespread evidence of oxygen deprivation in the brain, possibly caused by systemic clotting, which is characteristic of COVID-19.
