Conclusions: We found that longitudinal measures of cortical atrophy were widely correlated with sleep quality. Poor sleep quality may be a cause or a consequence of brain atrophy, and future studies examining the effect of interventions that improve sleep quality on rates of atrophy may hold key insights into the direction of this relationship.

Zou dat voor alle mensen gelden?
Ook voor mensen die bv jonger zijn of mensen die door lyme slecht slapen?

Door de Treponema pallidum kun je i.i.g. wel corticale atrofie krijgen

It has long been known that the spirochete Treponema pallidum, which is the infective agent for syphilis, can in its late stages cause dementia, chronic inflammation, cortical atrophy and amyloid

Er staat ook iets in over de borrelia:

The data indicate that Borrelia burgdorferi may persist in the brain and be associated with amyloid plaques in AD. They suggest that these spirochetes, perhaps in an analogous fashion to Treponema pallidum, may contribute to dementia, cortical atrophy and amyloid deposition.

Maar meer onderzoek hiernaar is nodig
