[Abstract] Central nervous system involvement in 25%—75% of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients, especially the brain, can produce a variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms. There is evidence that changes in olfactory and cognitive function may be earlier than the occurrence of neuropsychiatric symptoms, contributing to the early diagnosis of lupus encephalopathy. In recent years, various functional MRI (fMRI) techniques have important value for the diagnosis and evaluation of systemic lupus erythematosus and the occurrence and development of disease. This article reviews the changes in olfactory and cognitive aspects of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and the application of structural and functional MRI.
