Are common viruses including Covid and herpes (HSV-1) silently taking over our brains and triggering degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. This stark possibility has been studied by scientists, and findings have been published in the journal ACS Chemical Neuroscience.
According to the study, these viruses can lead to accumulation of protein in the brain which can eventually cause neurodegenerative diseases. Dementia occurs when nerve cells start to lose their function and die which impacts movement, balance, speech, breathing, and heart function.
