Well done MPhil student extraordinaire Mehak! A joy working with you on this. Gutted I couldn't be there in Singapore
Well done Mehak! Today she presented our HD sleep qEEG work at the World Sleep Conference in Singapore.

Her poster was titled 'sleep dysfunction is associated with greater cognitive and affective deficits in neurodegeneration: a 12-year qEEG study in Huntington's Disease'

Sleep abnormalities are associated with greater cognitive deficits and disease activity in Huntington's disease: a 12-year polysomnographic study
Voysey et al. studied sleep in Huntington's disease gene carriers in a 12-year longitudinal study using polysomnography and actigraphy. They found that sle

Just migrated from twitter to Bluesky - if you'd like to know a bit more about my research area, take a look below!
New insights reveal that disrupted sleep and circadian rhythms surface long before motor symptoms in Huntington’s disease linked to thinking changes, mood shifts, and nerve damage. Understanding and treating these sleep disturbances could open pathways to preserving brain health. shorturl.at/umZlH
