Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 pandemic represents a major health issue caused by SARS CoV2, a human coronavirus. Since the outbreak of this pandemic, the literature on SARS CoV-2 has grown differentially, with increased awareness of extra-respiratory symptoms, including neurological symptoms.

Methods: Review based on studies published from December 2019 to June 2020.

Results and Discussion: This review discusses the neurological aspect of SARS CoV2, including the suggested mechanism involved. Neurological disorders are cited in addition to emerging experimental models with viral involvement.

Conclusion: There is a need for further investigation to clarify how it can lead to the onset of acute and chronic neurological disorders, mentioning the importance of experimental studies in neuropsychopharmacology.

Keywords: COVID-19, SARS CoV2, nervous system, neuropsychopharmacology, neurological disorders, central nervous system.
