UC Berkeley researcher leads study linking poor sleep to Alzheimer's disease | The Daily Californian: A team of scientists led by a UC Berkeley researcher has linked persistent poor sleep to the buildup of a toxic protein that can inhibit the ability to form long-term memory and, eventually, lead to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
A study published Monday by a group led by Bryce Mander, a postdoctoral fellow in the UC Berkeley psychology department, describes how low-quality, disturbed sleep leads to the buildup of the toxic protein beta-amyloid. The study was published online in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
