Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurological complications of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were first recognized during the initial outbreak in Wuhan, China. Since then, a great deal of information has been shared about the neurological aspects of COVID-19, including acute neurological manifestations, such as encephalopathy, cerebrovascular diseases, neuromuscular diseases, and smell and taste disorders. Long-term persistent complications, such as the cognitive effects of COVID-19, are equally important. Other issues include management of immunosuppressive therapy and neurological side effects associated with COVID-19 treatments and vaccines. A better understanding of the neuropathogenesis, including neuronal and immune dysfunction, renin–angiotensin system dysfunction and viral invasion of the nervous system, will enhance our understanding of these clinicopathologic conditions.
We dedicate this Special Issue of “Coronavirus and Brain: Diagnosing and Treating COVID-19’s Neurological Effects” as a “Call for Action”, and invite the medical and scientific community to join us in raising awareness promoting early and accurate diagnosis. This will result in more favorable treatments and outcomes for the growing number of patients worldwide who are affected by COVID-19.
