Bad Sleep May Predict Alzheimer's
In the article I read scientists tested mice to see is the causes of Alzheimer’s could be seen earlier on. Mice that sleep less are the mice that will potentially get Alzheimer’s so if the studies prove a correct pattern in sleep and attainment of Alzheimer’s, it may be preventable. Scientists believed that if Alzheimer’s can be caught early on than that could help to find a potential cure in the future. By the time Alzheimer’s is found in a human the brain is already deteriorating, but if it can be caught early on then there is a chance that it can be prevented. Even though there are differences in mice and human brains scientists are sure they can find a way to prove their theory. Scientist also found that there are patterns between thinking skills declining and sleep patterns which also contributes to the theories on sleep activity and attainment of Alzheimer’s.
In my opinion I think this is a huge achievement for health
scientists. Alzheimer’s is a horrible disease that is especially emotionally
damaging so to find a cure would be amazing. This revelation is related to the global
society because any cure to any disease will better society. There will be one less
disease to worry about and for people around the world to suffer from. Hopefully scientists will continue and further their studies on this topic and find the cure. Eventually with more studies like this more and more diseases will be cured and people can live healthier lives.
