Neuroscience News Newsletter   Hello Pawan,   Thank you for continuing to read and share Neuroscience News.     These are the latest neuroscience research articles featured on NeuroscienceNews.com.   Chronic Gut Virus May Play a Role in Alzheimer’s Development 2024-12-20 19:18:02 +00:00   Researchers have linked chronic intestinal infections caused by cytomegalovirus (HCMV) to a unique subtype of Alzheimer’s disease. The virus may travel from the gut to the brain via the vagus nerve, altering immune responses and contributing to hallmark Alzheimer’s changes like amyloid plaques and tau tangles. While HCMV infection is common and typically harmless, this study found that it may cause chronic brain inflammation in certain individuals.

Structural sexism encompasses societal inequities like unequal labor force participation and underrepresentation in government, which create systemic barriers to health. The impact is particularly pronounced among Black women, highlighting the intersection of sexism and racism.

Neural stem cells provide a rejuvenating effect on neighboring cells, while T cells drive aging through inflammation.

By using a genetically modified rabies virus, they pinpointed connections from the brain to these diverse "switchboard operator" cells in the spinal cord.
