  • Biomarkers of dementia in obstructive sleep apnea 

    Baril, Andrée-Ann; Carrier, Julie; Lafrenière, Alexandre; Warby, Simon; Poirier, Judes; Osorio, Ricardo S.; Ayas, Najib; Dubé, Marie-Pierre; Petit, Dominique; Gosselin, Nadia; Canadian Sleep and Circadian Network (Elsevier, 2018-08-13)
    Epidemiologic and mechanistic evidence is increasingly supporting the notion that obstructive sleep apnea is a risk factor for dementia. Hence, the identification of patients at risk of cognitive decline due to obstructive sleep apnea may significantly ...

  • Reduced rapid eye movement sleep in late middle-aged and older apolipoprotein E ɛ4 allele carriers 

    André, Claire; Martineau-Dussault, Marie-Ève; Baril, Andrée-Ann; Marchi, Nicola Andrea; Daneault, Véronique; Lorrain, Dominique; Hudon, Carol; Bastien, Célyne; Petit, Dominique; Thompson, Cynthia; Poirier, Judes; Montplaisir, Jacques-Yves; Gosselin, Nadia; Carrier, Julie (Oxford University Press, 2024-04-18)
    Study Objectives Apolipoprotein E ɛ4 (APOE4) is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In addition, APOE4 carriers may exhibit sleep disturbances, but conflicting results have been reported, such that there is no clear consensus ...

  • REM sleep is associated with the volume of the cholinergic basal forebrain in aMCI individuals 

    André, Claire; Martineau‑Dussault, Marie‑Ève; Daneault, Véronique; Blais, Hélène; Frenette, Sonia; Lorrain, Dominique; Hudon, Carol; Bastien, Célyne; Petit, Dominique; Lafrenière, Alexandre; Thompson, Cynthia; Montplaisir, Jacques-Yves; Gosselin, Nadia; Carrier, Julie (BMC, 2023-09-08)
    Background Rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep highly depends on the activity of cholinergic basal forebrain (BF) neurons and is reduced in Alzheimer’s disease. Here, we investigated the associations between the volume of BF nuclei and REM sleep ...
