SARS-CoV-2 hijacks tiny bridges that link infected cells with neurons to gain access to brain cells

COVID-19 often leads to neurological symptoms, such as a loss of taste or smell, or cognitive impairments (including memory loss and concentration difficulties), both during the acute phase of the disease and over the long term with "long COVID" syndrome.
