"Mind-blowing" Alzheimer’s breakthrough: Two hours of sleep restored without clearing brain plaques
- Scientists have discovered an unexpected reason why Alzheimer's disease disrupts sleep, and their findings suggest that the problem may be reversible.
- In experiments involving mice with Alzheimer's-like brain changes, researchers restored more than two hours of sleep per day without removing the amyloid plaques associated with the disease.
- The surprising discovery points to an overlooked culprit: the brain's own immune cells.
