From the article:
Researchers at the University of Liverpool have led the first nationwide surveillance study of the neurological complications of COVID-19.

A study of 153 patients treated in UK hospitals during the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic describes a range of neurological and psychiatric complications that may be linked to the disease, including stroke and an altered mental state such as brain inflammation, psychosis and dementia-like symptoms.
