Sleep history predicts late-life Alzheimer’s pathology

Neuroscience NewsJune 17, 2019

Your sleep history during middle age may predict Alzheimer's pathology later in life. A decrease in sleep quality between 50 and 70 years of age is associated with higher levels of tau and amyloid beta in the brain. Changes in brain activity and quality of sleep could be a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease.... Read More...
