New studies on SARS-CoV-2's neurologic effects describe how even mild infections can lead to neuropsychiatric conditions by altering brain structure and function and review possible mechanisms for viral passage through the blood-brain barrier.

Even mild COVID-19 infections can alter brain structures and functions, leading to neuropsychiatric conditions such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, and sleepiness and undermining well-being, health, and the ability to work, according to studies presented last week at the ninth Brazilian Institute of Neuroscience and Neurotechnology (BRAINN) congress in Sao Paulo.
