A fringe theory about the origins of Alzheimer’s disease—that latent viral
infections can sometimes trigger its emergence—has gotten perhaps its most

Neuron has found evidence that certain viruses are not only more common in
the brains of people with Alzheimer’s, but that they play a direct role in
the chain of events responsible for the fatal neurodegenerative disorder.
