One aspect is the cognitive impairment that many patients experience either during or following infections, such as COVID-19. The aim of this Journal club is to present and discuss different studies on this topic in the hope of proposing future research questions. The four studies discussed all investigate COVID-19 patients in observational cohorts and the possible association between severe viral respiratory infection and cognitive impairment.
