New study warns common injury could trigger Alzheimer's by awakening virus
Repeated head injuries could trigger Alzheimer’s disease by awakening a dormant virus in the brain, a study suggests. Many people are infected with the virus that causes cold sores - herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) - during their lifetimes.
Head injuries can trigger dormant viruses that cause dementia
Head injuries may “wake up” dormant viruses in the brain and trigger dementia, scientists believe. It is known that concussions and head trauma in sports like football and boxing increase the risk of neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, but it was unclear why.
When Head Trauma Wakes Dormant Viruses: A Hidden Risk for Alzheimer’s
A groundbreaking study reveals that concussions and repetitive head injuries in sports could trigger latent viruses in the brain, such as HSV-1, leading to Alzheimer's disease. Researchers suggest that early use of antiviral drugs might prevent these effects,
