The brain microbiome: could understanding it help prevent dementia?
Yes, yes it does.
The reason all these infections cause dementia is because astrocytes become less functional during infection. Beta Amyloid is also produced by the astrocytes when there are microbes in the brain. That is not a mystery.
Yeah that whole "sterile brain" theory really was a fuckup. That's what my professors taught me... while my brain was infected and destroying my ability to function. The apex of gaslighting.
