As part of the AAN session on Highlights in Sleep Science, Mayo Clinic Neurologist Diego Carvalho, M.D., announced the results of an longitudinal Mayo Clinic study of aging. According to MedPage Today, "the study found that older individuals with normal cognition reporting excessive daytime sleepiness showed relatively greater increases in beta-amyloid plaque burdens in their brains. Among 283 study participants undergoing serial brain scans with the beta-amyloid tracer Pittsburgh Compound B, the fastest rates of amyloid accumulation were seen in those who indicated frequent daytime sleepiness."
