Alzheimer's: researchers restored 2 hours of sleep without removing plaques
Researchers at the University of Kentucky found that sleep disturbances in Alzheimer's disease result not only from accumulation of amyloid plaques, but also from inflammation caused by brain immune cells — microglia. After temporarily removing most microglia in mice, the animals slept over two hours longer and spent more time in deep sleep phases. Results were published in "Alzheimer's & Dementia".
