Research on Syrian hamsters has found that different variants of SARS-CoV-2 may cause specific types of neuroinflammation. Studies have also explored the connection between COVID-19 and anosmia, or loss of smell, in relation to viral persistence and inflammation in the olfactory epithelium and brain. The findings suggest a link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and neurological effects in hamsters.
