6.3V is the standard voltage of a farm tractor battery --these vacuum tube heaters were designed to use them.

12.6V is two farm tractor batteries (one car battery), which is why our computer industry uses 12V for motherboards (12 volts - 0.6V reverse protection diode).

Early computer power supplies used voltage regulators that were designed for car radios, originally.

This review describes investigations of specific topics that lie within the general subject of HSV1’s role in AD/dementia, published in the last couple of years. They include studies on the following: relationship of HSV1 to AD using neural stem cells; the apparent protective effects of treatment of HSV1 infection or of VZV infection with antivirals prior to the onset of dementia; the putative involvement of VZV in AD/dementia; the possible role of human herpes virus 6 (HHV6) in AD; the seemingly reduced risk of dementia after vaccination with diverse types of vaccine, and the association shown in some vaccine studies with reduced frequency of HSV1 reactivation; anti-HSV serum antibodies supporting the linkage of HSV1 in brain with AD in APOE-ε4 carriers, and the association between APOE and cognition, and association of APOE and infection with AD/dementia. The conclusions are that there is now overwhelming evidence for HSV1’s role—probably causal—in AD, when it is present in brain of APOE-ε4 carriers, and that further investigations should be made on possible prevention of the disease by vaccination, or by prolonged antiviral treatment of HSV1 infection in APOE-ε4 carriers, before disease onset.

The most important thing I have learned is to never approach a situation with preconceptions about the way you think things should be, and instead be absorbent of the moment so you collect the best possible data.
