Sleep and Alzheimer’s disease: A pivotal role for the suprachiasmatic nucleus?

Alzheimer's disease (AD), which accounts for most of the dementia cases, is, aside from cognitive deterioration, often characterized by the presence of non-cognitive symptoms. Society is desperately in need for interventions that alleviate the economic and social burden related to AD.

Studies suggest that these circadian disturbances form the root of sleep-wake problems, diagnosed in more than half of AD patients.
