    ‘Reanimated’ herpes viruses lurking in the brain may link concussions and dementia

    What's new here is that the researchers have demonstrated that physical injury can activate latent viruses in the brain, said Dr. Gorazd Stokin, who leads a neuroscience lab at the Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine in the Czech Republic and was not involved in the new study.
