Study hints head injuries may reactivate herpes viruses in the brain, possibly leading to Alzheimer's.
Recent research suggests head injuries may trigger dormant herpes viruses in the brain, potentially leading to Alzheimer's disease.
In lab tests, simulated head injuries reactivated the herpes virus in brain cell models, causing protein buildup linked to brain damage.
While more human studies are needed, this finding could lead to new treatments such as antiviral drugs or anti-inflammatory therapies to prevent Alzheimer's after head injuries.
