'Reanimated' herpes viruses lurking in the brain may link concussions and dementia
A study using lab-made models of the brain suggests that a herpes virus may be a key link between concussions and dementia risk.
Concussions 'reactivate dormant virus in brain'
Repeated head injuries could reawaken a dormant virus in the brain, triggering the onset of Alzheimer's Disease and dementia, scientists have found. Researchers from Oxford's Institute of Population Ageing,
Head injuries can trigger dormant viruses that cause dementia
Multiple blows to the head can more than double the chance of having a neurodegenerative condition - oakstudio22/iStockphoto Head injuries may “wake up” dormant viruses in the brain and trigger dementia,
Blows to the head might wake dormant disease-causing virus
Individuals who suffer head trauma from sports, accidents, or other causes often go on to develop neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. A new study sheds light on why that might be and offers a way to prevent it.
Head Trauma May Activate Latent Viruses in the Brain
Concussions and repetitive head trauma in sports like football and boxing, once accepted as an unpleasant consequence of intense athletic competition, are now recognized as serious health threats.&nbs
Study shows head trauma may activate latent viruses, leading to neurodegeneration
Researchers have uncovered mechanisms that may link head injuries and concussions to the emergence of neurodegenerative disease, pointing to latent viruses lurking in most of our brains that may be activated by the jolt,
