Sleep Is a Missing Piece in the Explanatory Puzzle of Aging and Altering

Sleep is a missing piece in the explanatory puzzle of aging an alttimers. We may be able to do something about it by using direct current brain stimulation. If you apply this stimulation during sleep, not only can you amplify the size of those deep sleep brain waves, we can almost double the amount of memory benefit that you get from sleep. The question now is whether we can translate this same affordable, potentially portable piece of technology into older adults and those with dimentia. Can we restore back some healthy quality of deep sleep and in doing so, can we salvage aspects of their learning and memory function? That's one of our moon shot goals, as it were.
