Below is the paper’s abstract:

Emphasis on neuroscience, this research examines antibodies in Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19). We used neuroscience as a foundational field to begin our investigation. On February 10, 2024, this search was conducted using the ScienceDirect database. 552,211 papers with the keyword “neuroscience” were found. Next, we found 309,196 papers using the COVID-19 keyword and 106,473 publications using the antibodies keyword. Furthermore, we got 9039 papers by combining COVID-19 and neuroscience, and 3576 publications by combining antibodies and COVID-19. Last but not least, the investigation will concentrate on the 243 papers; we acquired by integrating antibodies, COVID-19, and neuroscience. Two hundred and forty-three publications make it through many filtering stages, ultimately yielding 41 publications.
