Seems there is light at the end of the tunnel for scientists researching on Alzheimer’s Disease.

As per a new study published in the journal Neuron, the Herpes virus might play a role in Alzheimer’s.

The researchers found that the viruses, particularly the types that infect humans during infancy and then become comatose for years, interact with the genes that cause Alzheimer’s. These viruses might then influence the manner in which Alzheimer’s develops further.
