- 8 years ago
According to an NPR report, researchers are about to embark on a study of human participants to determine if their findings from mice hold true--that the brain’s waste removal during deep sleep could help to clear out components related to the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
A nightly self-cleaning mechanism in the brain may provide insights into the relationship between deep sleep and Alzheimer’s disease.
A recent NPR report notes that a research team at Oregon Health & Science University will begin MRI brain scans of human participants to determine if their findings reflect those previously found in mice.
