The Mountain 00:05:46.620 --> 00:05:49.939 West football rankings for Week 12 show the Aztecs 00:05:49.939 --> 00:05:53.939 holding steady while the Broncos fall.

However, Boise State struggles 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.079 with back -to -back losses, and Colorado State 00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:29.360 shows signs of fatigue. In top new... New research 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.000 indicates that the shingles vaccine may help 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.519 prevent dementia by lowering the risk of reactivation 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:39.600 of the varicella zoster virus. One of the largest 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.339 studies on this link found that individuals with 00:06:42.339 --> 00:06:45.279 multiple shingles episodes had a higher dementia 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:48.399 risk for several years post -second outbreak. 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:51.579 The findings published in the journal Nature 00:06:51.579 --> 00:06:54.420 Medicine emphasize the importance of shingles 00:06:54.420 --> 00:06:58.420 vaccination for brain health. Researchers analyzed 00:06:58.420 --> 00:07:02.980 over 100 million medical records from 2007 to 00:07:02.980 --> 00:07:09.079 2023. Those vaccinated showed a 27 to 33 % lower 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:13.339 dementia risk over three years. This study suggests 00:07:13.339 --> 00:07:16.319 a greater understanding of the virus's role in 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:19.459 neurodegeneration could improve dementia treatments. 00:07:20.819 --> 00:07:24.819 In business news, Alphabet stock has risen amid 00:07:24.819 --> 00:07:27.660 excitement over the artificial intelligence boom, 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.860 but its chief executive officer sees elements 00:07:30.860 --> 00:07:35.639 of irrationality in AI investment. Sundar Pichai 00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.220 launched Alphabet's Gemini 3 on Tuesday, calling 00:07:39.220 --> 00:07:42.980 it state -of -the -art in reasoning.

Pikai warned that no company 00:08:00.019 --> 00:08:02.899 is going to be immune if an AI bubble bursts. 00:08:04.259 --> 00:08:07.120 Concerns about over -investment in a AI are growing, 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:10.259 with a majority of investors indicating companies 00:08:10.259 --> 00:08:15.220 are over -investing.
