Neurodegeneration Sleep

Meaning

Neurodegeneration sleep refers to the complex, bidirectional relationship where sleep disturbances are both a symptom and a contributing factor to the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. This concept underscores how disrupted sleep architecture and quality can accelerate neuronal damage and cognitive decline, while ongoing neurodegeneration simultaneously impairs the brain regions critical for regulating healthy sleep cycles, creating a detrimental feedback loop.
