Abstract

The long-term effect of the newly emerged COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) virus has not been fully understood. It has been reported that several patients experienced neurological and neurocognitive problems after getting infected by the COVID-19 virus. This paper will review how the COVID-19 virus has impacted the brain, will aim to detect the location of COVID-19 in the brain, and will determine if the neurological complications are a result of “direct” or “indirect” effects of the virus on brain cells. Additionally, we will focus on the neurocognitive impact of COVID‐19 and the potential of digital electroencephalography (EEG), quantitative EEG (QEEG) and standardized low resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA) to be able to capture, assess, monitor, characterize and facilitate the treatment of both neurological and neurocognitive sequelae seen in COVID‐19 and long COVID.
