Webinar “COVID-19 and Brain Dysfunction: Evolving Understanding”
Knowledge about the impact of COVID-19 on the brain is rapidly accumulating and this is reflected in the increasing use of the term “neuro-COVID.” In this webinar, we review the expanding understanding of the multiple ways in which COVID-19 affects the human brain, discuss the likelihood of long-term and very long-term sequelae of neuro-COVID, and their implications for cognitive functions. We discuss the international effort currently underway to meet the long-term challenges of neuro-COVID and the potential role of neuropsychology in addressing them.
The webinar features Elkhonon Goldberg, Ph.D., ABPP., a clinical neuropsychologist and cognitive neuroscientist, and Diplomate of The American Board of Professional Psychology in Clinical Neuropsychology. His critically acclaimed and bestselling books have been translated into 21 languages.

COVID-19 and Brain Dysfunction: Evolving Understanding
COVID-19 is a viral illness caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which has become
a global pandemic affecting all of us. While it has been originally characterized as respiratory
illness, a growing body of evidence suggests that the brain may also be affected. In this webinar
we will discuss the concept of “neuro-COVID” and examine the emerging evidence of COVID-19
impact on the human brain and the multiple clinical neurological and neuropsychological
manifestations of this impact. In particular, we will discuss the potential for long-term
neurocognitive sequelae of neuro-COVID and the role of neuropsychology in addressing them.
In addition, we will briefly review the impact of diseases caused by other coronaviruses (SARS,
MERS) on the brain.
