According to those responsible for this research, coronavirus infection is unlikely to permanently damage olfactory neural circuits. “I think that is good news, because once the infection clears up, olfactory neurons don’t seem to need to be replaced or rebuilt from scratch,” says Sandeep Robert Datta.

“Our findings indicate that the new coronavirus changes the sense of smell in patients not by directly infecting neurons but by affecting the function of supporting cells,” explains Sandeep Robert Datta, associate professor of neurobiology at Harvard Medical School and co-author. of the study.

12:37

The results were collected by the scientific journal Science Advances, where it is detailed that tests have been carried out over the past few months on patients infected with coronavirus, healthy people and animals.

Latest research from the scientific team at Harvard Medical School found that sensory neurons, which detect and transmit smell to the brain, are not vulnerable to disease. Instead, COVID-19 infects the cells that support olfactory sensory neurons, causing loss of smell.

09:32

The specialist explained that when a person contracts a virus, such as COVID-19, their immune system creates antibodies in the plasma to fight the virus. Plasma with these infection-fighting antibodies is called “convalescent plasma.”
