Numerous studies have linked #ObstructiveSleepApnea (OSA) with #neurocognitivedecline. The main method of treatment for #OSA is #CPAP. Here, the authors propose that #CPAP treatment may alter #cerebrospinalfluid-lymph movement promoting clearance of #amyloidplaques associated with #dementia.
Could positive airway pressure enhance brain waste clearance and modify neurodegenerative risk? A perspective on sleep-dependent cerebrospinal fluid–lymphatic pathways
Abstract. Obstructive sleep apnea is linked to cognitive decline and is increasingly implicated in neurodegenerative trajectories. Continuous positive airw
