A new study by the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus demonstrates viruses can inflame and disrupt connections between the olfactory system, and the part of the brain associated with memory and learning, which may accelerate the onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
The findings, “Signatures for Viral Infection and Inflammation in the Proximal Olfactory System in Familial Alzheimer’s Disease,” are published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging.
