REM Sleep Apnea Tied to Brain Structure and Cognition Changes

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) severity has been linked to an increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and cognitive decline. OSA occurring during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is often more severe than during non-REM sleep, but its specific impact on cognition remains unclear. Emerging research also indicates that changes in white matter microstructure may play a role in cognitive impairments associated with OSA.
