A new study demonstrates an important association between sleep health and long-term brain health and it highlights potential opportunities to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
Associations seen between less short wave sleep and rapid eye movement sleep with smaller inferior parietal region volumes.
A link has been found between neuroactivity during sleep and brain atrophy in areas vulnerable to the degenerative disease.
However, research indicates that age, genetics, and certain lifestyle habits (like smoking and excessive drinking) can all ...
A study suggests less time in REM and slow wave sleep may correlate with brain changes linked to Alzheimer's. Researchers ...
New research reveals that lower proportions of specific sleep stages are associated with reduced brain volume in regions vulnerable to the development of Alzheimer's disease over time.
The amount of time people spend in certain stages of sleep seems to affect brain health in ways that can affect the risk for ...
New research reveals that lower proportions of specific sleep stages are associated with reduced brain volume in regions vulnerable to the development of Alzheimer's disease over time.
Not spending enough time in the two deep stages of sleep may hasten the deterioration of parts of the brain associated with ...
New research shows that reduced time in slow wave and REM sleep is associated with smaller brain volumes in regions ...
Researchers from the Yale School of Medicine found that individuals who spend less time in slow-wave and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep had smaller volumes in brain regions linked to Alzheimer's. This ...
