There is a potential link between Alzheimer's disease and the herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1), which is a common cause for cold sores, a recent study suggests

The University of Pittsburgh researchers uncovered a surprising link between Alzheimer’s disease and herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) which suggests that viral infections may play a role in the disease.

A new study adds more evidence to the link between Alzheimer's disease and the herpes simplex virus-1. The study also revealed how tau protein might initially protect the brain from the virus.

Scientists believe head injures can cause dormant 'zombie' viruses in your brain, such as herpes, to reanimate and cause issues that cause dementia and Alzheimer's disease

Head injuries may re-awaken dormant viruses in the brain, triggering the onset of conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, an Oxford study shows.

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.
