Monitoring brainwaves overnight could help predict dementia, study suggests

A non-invasive sleep test may be able to help diagnose and predict dementia in older adults, a new study suggests. Researchers used a model to assess the difference between a person’s actual age and the biological age of their brain.  Dementia patients monitored in their sleep had much higher scores than non-dementia patients and showed … Read more
