Scientists discover troubling brain changes in COVID-19 patients who lost sense of smell
COVID-19 patients who experienced loss of smell showed long-term brain changes, including structural thinning, decreased white matter integrity, and altered decision-making behavior, suggesting potential neurological consequences even after recovery.
