Using polysomnography + neuroimaging/biomarkers (58 participants), the team found that better-preserved locus coeruleus status was associated with higher slow-wave activity. 👇 www.barcelonabeta.org/en/news/news...

Study links locus coeruleus status to deep sleep quality in aging and Alzheimer's disease
This research describes new mechanisms linking the locus coeruleus to deep sleep and reveals differences according to sex and cerebral vascular status.

Relationship between locus coeruleus and slow‐wave sleep in aging and Alzheimer's disease
INTRODUCTION Sleep disruption, particularly loss of slow-wave sleep (SWS), is common in Alzheimer's disease (AD), but its neurobiological underpinnings remain unclear. We investigated whether locus ...

Our new paper shows that higher locus coeruleus integrity is linked to stronger slow-wave sleep across aging and Alzheimer’s—especially in women 🧠💤🙋‍♀️and points to a potential link with vascular/glymphatic health @hospitalclinic.bsky.social @idibaps.bsky.social @barcelonabeta.bsky.social

📢 Happy to share the last paper of my PhD! link.springer.com/article/10.1... We introduce CAI a cortical asymmetry index: - Differentiates HC, AD & FTD (incl. phenotypes) - Identifies 2 FTD clusters (differences NfL) & 2 AD clusters (differences GFAP) - FTD ⬆️CAI over time

Objectives Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) usually shows more asymmetric atrophy patterns than Alzheimer’s disease (AD). We aim to quantify this asymmetry to differentiate FTD, AD, and FTD subtypes. Met...
