  1. Possible Neuropathology of Sleep Disturbance Linking to Alzheimer's Disease: Astrocytic and Microglial Roles

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Frontiers in cellular neuroscience 2022-06-09 TREM2 and immune genetics

    Sleep disturbances not only deteriorate Alzheimer's disease (AD) progress by affecting cognitive states but also accelerate the neuropathological changes of AD.

  2. Sleep Disturbance Forecasts β-Amyloid Accumulation across Subsequent Years

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 53 out of 100. Current biology : CB 2020-09-03 Brain scans and imaging

    Experimental sleep-wake disruption in rodents and humans causally modulates β-amyloid (Aβ) dynamics (e.g., [1-3]).

  3. Chronic sleep disturbance and neural injury: links to neurodegenerative disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. Nature and science of sleep 2016-01-25 Brain scans and imaging

    Sleep-wake disruption is frequently observed and often one of the earliest reported symptoms of many neurodegenerative disorders.

  4. Frequency and correlates of caregiver-reported sleep disturbances in a sample of persons with early dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 56 out of 100. Journal of the American Geriatrics Society 2010-03-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Sleep problems are common in dementia, particularly in subjects with LBD, and are associated with psychiatric symptoms.
