naturalnews.comStudy Links Deep Sleep Brain Activity to Better Cognitive Outcomes in Alzheimer’s
A study published in Neurology found that stronger brain wave activity during non-REM sleep may protect cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers at a memory clinic in Lleida, Spain, followed 60 adults with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's and measured sleep spindles and slow oscillations overnight. The findings indicate that these specific sleep patterns may offset the negative effects of the brain chemical orexin on cogn…
A new study has shown that brainwave patterns during deep sleep may slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The study, which examined 60 people over the age of 60 diagnosed with mild to moderate Alzheimer's, found that symptoms worsened more rapidly in patients with high orexin levels. However, those with stronger, slow-oscillation brainwave patterns during deep sleep showed slower disease progression.
