DESCRIPTION:*Sleep and Dementia*\n\nSleep\, as an ancient demeanour taking
  up one-third of our life\, is not a uniform state of our brain\, unlike w
 ake. It consists of a multitude of stages\, each with unique brain activit
 y patterns\, evolved to optimize adaptation to complex learning tasks whil
 e being central to our health. Nonetheless\, sleep gradually deteriorates 
 with age\, becoming more fragmented and less restorative. In this talk\, r
 esearchers will attempt to explain how ageing affect sleep and explore whe
 ther age-dependent cognitive and health deterioration could be driven by t
 he gradual sleep disruptions we experience over the years. They will also 
 share what is known about the link between sleep and neurodegenerative dis
 eases and discuss new cutting-edge sleep therapies.\n\nTo attend this talk
