Sleep deprivation may impact brain health and increase Alzheimer's risk
A study from Edith Cowan University in Australia has revealed a complex relationship between genetics and sleep-related habits. Some genetic variants in the AQP4 region lead to reduced sleep and loss of gray matter in the brain, an area associated with memory and cognitive functions. The study explained that the effects on the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease depend on an individual's genetic background, emphasizing the importance of regulating sleep for those who are genetically predisposed to this factor.
