Scientists believe head injures can cause dormant 'zombie' viruses in your brain, such as herpes, to reanimate and cause issues that cause dementia and Alzheimer's disease

Repeated head injuries suffered by sports players and military personnel — a known risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease — may induce dementia by reactivating the dormant herpes virus in neural tissues, according to laboratory experiments.
