Sleep Patterns May Signal Early Alzheimer's Risk

Sleep Fragmentation as a Potential Early Warning Sign A growing body of research is uncovering connections between sleep disturbances and neurodegenerative diseases. Recent findings indicate that frequent micro-awakenings during sleep may serve as an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease risk, even before noticeable cognitive symptoms emerge. Key Findings

Research Identifies Protein That Slows Nerve Regeneration After Injury

When nerves are damaged—whether from injury or conditions affecting the peripheral or central nervous system—recovery is typically slow and often incomplete. Researchers have long sought to understand why the nervous system's natural repair mechanisms are so limited. A new study reveals that a protein called the
