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,

The study reveals a potential link between concussions and the activation of dormant viruses, which may lead to neurodegenerative diseases.

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.

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,
