head trauma, Herpes Virus and Neurodegeneration

Traumatic Brain Injury May Reactivate Herpes Virus Leading to Neurodegeneration
Mild traumatic brain injury leads to reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 1, which may promote neurodegeneration and contribute to Alzheimer’s, new research suggested.
Study shows head trauma may activate latent viruses, leading to neurodegeneration
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.
Head Injuries May Trigger Dormant Brain Viruses, Contributing to Neurodegeneration
Researchers uncover mechanisms that may connect the dots between trauma events and the emergence of disease. They point to latent viruses lurking in most of our brains that may be activated by the jolt,
Head Trauma May Reactivate Dormant Viruses, Increasing Alzheimer’s Risk
New research suggests that concussions and repetitive head trauma may reactivate dormant viruses like HSV-1 in the brain, potentially triggering neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
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,
