Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although a connection between sleep disruption and brain aging has been documented, biological mechanisms need to be further clarified. Intriguingly, aging is associated with circadian rhythm and/or sleep dysfunction in a key gene regulating circadian rhythm, Circadian Locomotor Output Cycles Kaput (CLOCK), has been linked to both aging-related sleep disturbances and neurodegenerative diseases. This...
