    Abstract In late December 2019, multiple atypical pneumonia cases resulted in severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by a pathogen identified as a novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. The most common coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms are pneumonia, fever, dry cough, and fatigue. However, some neurological complications following SARS-CoV-2 infection include confusion, cerebrovascular diseases, ataxia, hypogeusia, hyposmia, neuralgia, and seizures. Indeed, a growing literature demonstrates that neurotropism is a common feature of coronaviruses; therefore, the infection mechanisms already described in other coronaviruses may also be applicable for SARS-CoV-2. Understanding the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms in the nervous system infection and the neurological involvement is essential to assess possible long-term neurological alteration of COVID-19. Here, we provide an overview of associated literature regarding possible routes of COVID-19 neuroinvasion, such as the trans-synapse-connected route in the olfactory pathway and peripheral nerve terminals and its neurological implications in the central nervous system.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent responsible for coronavirus disease (COVID-19), is an issue of global concern since March 2020. The respiratory manifestations of COVID-19 have widely been explained in the last couple of months of the pandemic. Initially, the virus was thought to be restricted to the pulmonary system; however, as time progressed and cases increased during the second wave of COVID-19, the virus affected other organs, including the nervous system. The neurological implication of SARS-CoV-2 infection is mounting, as substantiated by various reports, and in the majority of COVID-19 patients with neurological symptoms, the penetration of SARS-CoV-2 in the central nervous system (CNS) is likely. SARS-CoV-2 can enter the nervous system by exploiting the routes of olfactory mucosa, olfactory and sensory nerve endings, or endothelial and nerve tissues, thus crossing the neural-mucosal interface in the olfactory mucosa in the nose. Owing to multifactorial and complex pathogenic mechanisms, COVID-19 adds a large-scale risk to the entire nervous system. A thorough understanding of SARSCoV- 2 neurological damage is still vague; however, our comprehension of the virus is rapidly developing. The present comprehensive review will gain insights and provide neurological dimensions of COVID-19 and their associated anomalies. The review presents the entry routes of SARS-CoV-2 into the CNS to ascertain potential targets in the tissues owing to infection. We also discuss the molecular mechanisms involved, the array of clinical symptoms, and various nervous system diseases following the attack of SARS-CoV-2.

    Abstract Since December 2019, humankind has been experiencing a ravaging severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, the second coronavirus pandemic in a decade after the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) disease in 2012. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 results in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is responsible for over 3.1 million deaths worldwide. With the emergence of a second and a third wave of infection across the globe, and the rising record of multiple reinfections and relapses, SARS-CoV-2 infection shows no sign of abating. In addition, it is now evident that SARS-CoV-2 infection presents with neurological symptoms that include early hyposmia, ischemic stroke, meningitis, delirium and falls, even after viral clearance. This may suggest chronic or permanent changes to the neurons, glial cells, and/or brain vasculature in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19. Within the central nervous system (CNS), microglia act as the central housekeepers against altered homeostatic states, including during viral neurotropic infections. In this review, we highlight microglial responses to viral neuroinfections, especially those with a similar genetic composition and route of entry as SARS-CoV-2. As the primary sensor of viral infection in the CNS, we describe the pathogenic and neuroinvasive mechanisms of RNA viruses and SARS-CoV-2 vis-à-vis the microglial means of viral recognition. Responses of microglia which may culminate in viral clearance or immunopathology are also covered. Lastly, we further discuss the implication of SARS-CoV-2 CNS invasion on microglial plasticity and associated long-term neurodegeneration. As such, this review provides insight into some of the mechanisms by which microglia could contribute to the pathophysiology of post-COVID-19 neurological sequelae and disorders, including Parkinson's disease, which could be pervasive in the coming years given the growing numbers of infected and re-infected individuals globally.
