A novel study has investigated the lingering cognitive effects of mild COVID-19 in the months following infection. The research revealed minor deficits in attention and memory can be seen for up to six months following a mild infection.
“Just as the acute illness of COVID-19 demonstrates a wide severity spectrum from asymptomatic to fatal forms, our findings show that post-COVID cognitive deficits too can also manifest a wide severity spectrum,” the authors concluded in the study. “They highlight a pressing need to measure cognitive performance objectively in order to better understand how the brain is affected by COVID-19.”
