Schematic representation of the most likely routes to neural invasion by SARS-CoV-2. Left: orange depicts the olfactory neuroepithelium route; blue depicts the bloodstream route after lung invasion (reproduced from https://sq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemza). Right: red circles indicate brain areas with the highest SARS-CoV titers (figure kindly provided by the Servier Medical Art Department). All figures are reproduced under a CC BY-SA license.
