Lateralized brunt of sleep deprivation on white matter injury in a rat model of Alzheimer’s disease
Sleep disturbance is a recognized risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but the underlying micro-pathological evidence remains limited. To bridge this gap, we established an amyloid-β oligomers (AβO)-induc...
