Head Injuries May Reactivate Brain Viruses, Triggering Alzheimer's: Lab Study
Laboratory research suggests that head injuries may reactivate dormant herpes viruses (like HSV-1) in the brain, triggering inflammation and potentially leading to Alzheimer's disease, due to beta-amyloid plaque buildup and tau protein formation; this was demonstrated in a model brain.
