British researchers have discovered that the virus causing cold sores (herpes simplex virus type 1) is also the primary reason why amyloid plaques are found in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients. The research may one day lead to a way to effectively treat AD patients and prevent the disease from ever taking away memories.
