Our new lab paper suggests that almost all (between 75-90%) cognitively intact people with abnormal plasma p-tau217 values subsequently developed MCI when followed for <10 years after their blood test. (14% in A-T-) I have mixed feeling of being happy and scarred... 😳#Alzheimer

Heightened clearance during wakefulness may be due to increased neuronal activity, while less clearance is needed during sleep with reduced brain activity. Awake at night, the brain must boost clearance, raising the question of its sustainability amid chronic sleep loss.

Excited to announce our new paper in Alzheimer's Research & Therapy. I'm grateful for our fruitful ongoing collaboration between UC Irvine, Wisconsin ADRC, and Wake Forest University with Dr. Barbara Bendlin and Ruth Benca. Very proud of Kitty Lui who led this work! news.uci.edu/2024/05/14/uc-…

New paper out! Led by Peter Coppola “The architecture of spontaneous thoughts and experiences: a graph theory approach.” We take people’s night dreams and daydreams (mindwanderings) and turn their thought into graph to analyse them geekily. Prereg osf.io/arx2h/ 1/n

A new study to be presented at the #SLEEP2024 annual meeting found a distinct relationship between sleep duration, social media usage, and brain activation across brain regions that are key for executive control and reward processing. ow.ly/XiRh50S2RZA

Many children today aren't getting enough sleep, with 34.7% of kids aged 3-17 affected. This is most common in 6-12-year-olds. Insufficient sleep can impair health. Kids need at least 9-10 hrs of sleep for well-being. Context by me and postdoc Pei Xue . onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Thrilled to finally see our review on the role of sleep/sleep architecture in implicit and explicit affect regulation out in the world! Proud of a truly an interdisciplinary collaboration effort. doi.org/10.1016/j.ynst…

That's also consistent with 40-year prospective data in this study we published, led by Christian Benedict: 51% higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease in those with than without self-reported sleep disturbances. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
