We are proud to share that Drs. Kun Hu and Shahab Haghayegh were recently featured in the New York Post for their innovative research demonstrating how brain waves recorded during sleep can predict cognitive impairment years before symptoms appear.
Their study highlights that specific patterns in sleep brain waves — particularly those linked to deep sleep — may serve as early indicators of cognitive decline. By analyzing these neural patterns, researchers can potentially identify individuals at higher risk for developing dementia long before noticeable symptoms emerge.
This breakthrough offers a promising step toward early intervention strategies, opening new avenues for dementia prevention and treatment.
Dr. Hu and Dr. Haghayegh’s work underscores the critical role of sleep monitoring in understanding brain health and advancing precision medicine for neurodegenerative diseases.
