Sleep disruption as a contributor to the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease: an interview with Bryce Mander

Bryce Mander is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the University of California, Irvine (CA, USA). His research focuses on the relationships between sleep and cognition across the lifespan, with a special focus on the role of sleep disturbance in age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathophysiology. Of particular interest to him is the interaction between AD biomarkers and sleep, and their impact on sleep-dependent memory. His long-term vision is to determine if sleep interventions can slow the progression of AD pathophysiology and reduce cognitive decline associated with AD. In this interview, Bryce...
