Sleep: Slow Wave Activity Predicts Amyloid-β Accumulation

The accumulation of amyloid-β, a metabolic residue found in the brain, has been linked to cognitive ageing and Alzheimer’s disease. A longitudinal study reveals that the increase of amyloid-β can be predicted using simple sleep parameters. The accumulation of amyloid-β, a metabolic residue found in...
