Researchers see no evidence of brain damage in people hospitalized with severe coronavirus infection, Maastricht University reported.

The study was prompted by the neurological problems doctors noticed in patients in intensive care during the first wave of the coronavirus.

However, people who experienced this "show no signs of brain damage from the disease after the fact," the university explained.

Nine months after discharge from the hospital, the researchers used scans and tests to examine possible brain damage and its consequences, such as memory problems. They also asked about symptoms such as fatigue.

We expected that people in the intensive care group, who were, after all, the most severely ill, would also have the greatest brain damage and more complaints,

explained Caroline van Heugten, professor of clinical neuropsychology in Maastricht.

But that wasn't the case.
