Abstract
COVID-19 can result in neurological manifestations and animal models could provide insights into the mechanisms. Here, the authors describe neuroinflammation, microhemorrhages and brain hypoxia in SARS-CoV-2 infected non-human primates, including in animals that don’t develop severe respiratory disease.
