Description: Obstructive sleep apnea is a significant medical problem. It has been estimated that it affects approximately 5 percent of middle-aged adults in the United States. The most common complaint among a sleeping partner is that the partner snores loudly. The same person who snores loudly may have periods when breathing stops. These same people definitely will have disruptive sleep patterns with excessive daytime sleepiness. People who suffer from sleep apnea will have fragmented sleep in the sense that they can never get to the restful or restorative sleep level. If they did, they could suffer a heart attack, stroke and even death in their sleep.

The study, which is published in the prestigious scientific journal Science, was conducted with the help of PET scanning and provides deeper insight into the complex interplay between cognition and the brain's biological structure Their results can be of significance to the development of new treatments for patients with cognitive impairments, such as those related to ADHD, stroke, chronic fatigue syndrome and ageing.
