UPDATE, quoted from paper: >> Importantly, the present results cannot establish a causal link between impaired sleep and subsequent Aβ plaque accumulation. The majority of subjects in the study already had substantial Aβ deposition at baseline, so the directionality of this relationship cannot be determined without further investigation.
