![]() Interestingly, the deposits do not necessarily result in Alzheimer’s disease - many older people have evidence of extensive amyloid in their brains and do not go on to develop Alzheimer’s. After age 70, one-third of cognitively normal people have amyloid in their brain tissue, according to a February 2022 study. “The people who did not have amyloid plaques did not have this lower brain volume, even if they had severe sleep apneas.”Īmyloid buildup in the brain can start decades before any clinical signs of cognitive decline - as early as the 30s and 40s, experts say. “We found that greater severity of sleep apnea was associated with lower volumes in the hippocampus and in various subregions of the medial temporal lobe,” Rauchs said. However, the loss of volume in the brain only occurred when a person also had signs of beta-amyloid plaques, a hallmark sign of Alzheimer’s disease, the study found. Buried deep in that area is the hippocampus, a complex structure critical for learning, memory encoding and consolidation, and spatial navigation. The medial temporal lobe is an area of the brain essential for memory and recall of facts and events. Here, we provide new original evidence focusing on the medial temporal lobe, a brain region early affected in Alzheimer’s disease,” said lead study author Géraldine Rauchs, a postdoctoral research officer at the National Institute of Health and Medical Research in Caen, France, in an email. “It is more and more acknowledged that this sleep disorder, if untreated, will increase the risk of dementia. People with sleep apnea stop breathing for 10 seconds or more at a time multiple times a night.
