Neuroimaging insights into sleep-wake dysfunction in older adults 'at risk' of developing dementia

本研究项目旨在探讨睡眠功能障碍与痴呆之间关系的生物学机制。我的目标是运用我的磁共振成像专业知识和经验，与“有风险”的痴呆症患者一起工作，并进一步发展我在睡眠研究方面的新兴技能，以提高我们对这种基本关系的理解，并调查有针对性的干预措施的效果和对“有风险”的老年人的纵向临床结果。

This program of research aims to investigate the biological mechanisms underlying the relationship between sleep dysfunction and dementia. I aim to apply my magnetic resonance imaging expertise and experience working with individuals ‘at risk’ of dementia and further develop my emerging skills in sleep research, to improve our understanding of this fundamental relationship and investigate the effect of targeted interventions and longitudinal clinical outcomes in ‘at risk’ older adults.
