Association between Sleep, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s Disease

The majority of neurodegenerative diseases are pathologically associated with protein misfolding and aggregation. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a type of dementia that slowly affects memory and cognitive function, and is characterized by the aggregation of the β-amyloid protein and tau neurofibrillary...
