COVID-19 has been found to have major side effects on the brain

Researchers have found that brain fog with memory loss appear to be long term symptoms from COVID-19 in a new study.

The study looked at 740 COVID-19 patients, some who were infected with COVID and some who had had the vaccine.

Data was reviewed from April of 2020 through May of 2021.


Researchers used a cognitive function measurement like counting numbers forward and backward, language tests, and other measurements of testing.

Memory recall and encoding were the biggest cognitive deficits found in COVID-19 patients.

Patients that were hospitalized struggled with attention, executive functioning, category fluency, memory encoding, and memory recall.

Though patients seem to recover from the physical ailments brought on by COVID like fever and respiratory issues, headaches and memory loss lingers.
