Breakdown of the paper:

This study aims to perform a detailed neuropsychological assessment in patients with Post-COVID Syndrome (PCS) and compare them to patients without COVID-19 symptoms (non-PCS) and healthy controls (HC). The researchers wanted to understand the cognitive deficits experienced by PCS patients.

The results showed that PCS patients reported significantly more symptoms, such as fatigue, memory impairment, and concentration difficulties, compared to non-PCS and HC groups. PCS patients performed worse in the general screening of cognitive deficits, showed impaired mental flexibility, verbal short-term and working memory, and had slower reaction times, indicating cognitive fatiguability.
