University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, 61 adults about 8 months after COVID were scanned by MRI.

Those with persistent smell loss showed structural changes in the amygdala linked to smell and emotion, along with higher anxiety and depression scores.

Limbic system damage from Covid:

SARS-CoV-2 is a neurotropic virus that may cause long-term neurological symptoms by damaging the limbic system.

This research shows that COVID-19 can impair emotion recognition, memory, and olfactory abilities, with altered brain connectivity patterns.
