Manifest brain damage in 55% COVID-19 patients
..higher bilateral gray matter volumes (GMV) in olfactory cortices, hippocampi, insulas, left Rolandic operculum..
No significant difference between severe and non-severe COVID

The extent and severity of the long term respiratory complications of covid-19 infection remain to be seen, but emerging data indicate that many patients experience persistent respiratory symptoms months after their initial illness https://www.bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m3001

The hippocampus plays important roles in consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory, and in spatial memory that enables navigation.
In Alzheimer's disease (and other forms of dementia), the hippocampus is one of the first regions of the brain to suffer damage; short-term memory loss and disorientation are included among the early symptoms.
The insulae are believed to be involved in consciousness and play a role in diverse functions usually linked to emotion or the regulation of the body's homeostasis.
These functions include compassion and empathy, taste, perception, motor control, self-awareness, cognitive functioning, and interpersonal experience. In relation to these, it is involved in psychopathology.
More precise: 55% of COVID patients report symptoms that indicate brain damage 3 months later and this study shows COVID and those symptoms correlate with manifest brain damage.

For perspective: The brain is a very intricate structure of selected connections between individual neurons. If we can see visible changes in large structures the consequences are likely severe, as seen in the video and consistent with symptoms reported.
