ANA member Dr. Igor Koralnik is featured in an AARP article discussing the neurological impact of COVID-19.
"It's unclear whether COVID-19's impact on the nervous system has any long-term effects on brain health, but it's something researchers hope to better understand. Some complications seem to be “more transient” than others, such as loss of smell. Other neurological events, including stroke, can leave more permanent damage."
~Igor Koralnik, MD, Archibald Church Professor of Neurology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chief of the Division of Neuro-Infectious Diseases & Global Neurology at Northwestern Memorial Hospital
