Sleep and Circadian Rhythms
@SleepPIA
The @ISTAART Sleep and Circadian Rhythms Professional Interest Area (PIA) focuses on associations between circadian rhythms, sleep quality & AD pathophysiology.

New finding that increasing sleepiness may be an independent marker or risk factor for dementia in oldest old women! medrxiv.org/content/10.110… 👇👇
BIG CONGRATS to @sashajmilton on his first-ever scientific paper, published in @GreenJournal !👏🎉🎊 CHANGES in sleep-wake patterns matter for brain health in the oldest old! @UCSFPsychiatry @UCSFmac @SleepPIA @GBHI_Fellows @AANmember @ResearchSleep
🧠 New research alert! @Chris_Lisgaras and team found a novel electrical abnormality during sleep in people with Down syndrome—high-frequency oscillations (>250 Hz) on scalp EEG. These may predict Alzheimer's dementia before symptoms appear. 📷 PMID: 40642994
🚀 Fantastic start to #INSS2025! Loving the deep dive into neuromodulatory subcortical systems, sleep & the glymphatic system—key themes for @NSS_PIA & @SleepPIA. If you're not a member of @ISTAART yet, now’s the time! 🧠 Don’t miss out on opportunities like this. #SleepResearch
@HeidiJacobsLab kicks off the integrative @NSS_PIA/@SleepPIA meeting in Boston—reminding us it all began in 2017 with just 10 people. Incredible growth, top-tier science, and momentum in #ADRD research. Grateful to @ISTAART & @alzassociation for their unwavering support!
Fascinating new research on sleep across the Alzheimer's continuum in people with Down syndrome 🧠💤 — check out this collaborative work with @SantPauMemory in Alzheimer's & Dementia! 📄 alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al… @alzdemjournals @alzassociation
Interested in how sleep is affected across the Alzheimer's disease continuum in people with Down syndrome? 💤🧠 Check our new publication with @SantPauMemory collaborators out in Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association! @alzdemjournals @alzassociation…
📊🚨 New research from @TW_Guu: Wrist-worn actigraphy is a feasible tool for monitoring behavior in late-stage agitated dementia—even in care home settings. 🧠 BPSD severity doesn’t impact compliance, but sex differences may matter. Submit your latest research to be featured!
