📚 New research from EJN - The European Journal of Neuroscience!

🧠 Sleep dysfunction is a common feature of Alzheimer's disease, but what role do changes in the brain play in these disturbances?

🔬 This study explores structural and functional changes in the hypothalamus. The findings shed light on how these changes may be linked to sleep disturbances and cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease, highlighting potential directions for future research.
