Dr. Diane Mueller examines how brain infections trigger inflammation that clouds thinking and memory. Her research suggests amyloid plaques, linked to dementia, may form when the immune system tries to trap infections in the brain, sometimes backfiring into persistent brain fog.
With infections in the brain and this whole process, we want to consider inflammation and we want to consider how the body responds to it. So there's one study, for example, that's even suggesting that plaques that build up in the brain and are associated with dementia, for example, are sometimes created because plaques have an immunological component to them. And so it's theorized in some research that the reason why we might create plaques that can lead to brain fog and dementia is our body actually trying to trap infections and get the infections out. Of course, this goes haywire, and then we aren't thinking and we have memory loss. But any of these mechanisms are really what is largely going on here. So.
