    According to a recent report by British Sky TV, British and American scientists pointed out in the latest issue of The Lancet that patients with the new crown are more likely to have cognitive deficits after recovery, and are more likely to score lower on intelligence tests.


    Between January and December last year, researchers from Imperial College, King’s College, University of Cambridge, University of Southampton and University of Chicago conducted intelligence tests on 81,337 people-including about 13,000 people infected with the new crown virus.


    The researchers said: "These results are consistent with the long-term infection report of the new coronavirus: "brain fog" in the patient's brain, inattention, difficulty in finding the correct words and other common phenomena


    The researchers explained that one possibility is that the observed cognitive deficits are related to persistent symptoms of the virus, such as breathing problems.


    However, the researchers who wrote the report are also careful to remind people that the current research results are only preliminary conclusions, and the conclusion is that brain imaging data is still needed


    Previous studies by University College London have found that patients who have been infected with the new coronavirus for a long time have more than 200 symptoms and 10 organ systems are affected
