Abstract:
Neuropsychology in the context of COVID-19 has aroused interest due to the neuropsychological alterations observed in affected patients. This viral disease can affect the central nervous system, leading to neuropsychological symptoms. Neuropsychology evaluates, diagnoses and treats cognitive and emotional problems related to brain disorders. The present work studies three clinical cases, alterations were observed in different cognitive functions, such as memory and executive functions. This suggests that COVID-19 may have significant neuropsychological effects and more research is required to understand the underlying mechanisms and develop appropriate treatments.
