In summary, this study documents an effect of one-night SD on ABB in the hippocampus, thus providing preliminary evidence that sleep, among other factors, could influence Aβ clearance in the human brain. Our results highlight the relevance of good sleep hygiene for proper brain function and as a potential target for prevention of AD (31, 55).
