The herpes simplex virus type (HSV-1), the so-called "cold sore virus", which lies dormant – aside from occasional breakouts – could be linked to cognitive decline. Professor Ruth Itzhaki described the finding as "striking", adding that the virus that resides in the peripheral nervous system could be reactivated by stress.
