Background: Sleep macro and microstructural features have a relevant role for cognition. Although alterations in sleep macrostructure have been reported in persons with neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD), it is unknown whether there is a relationship between alterations in microstructure (sleep spindles) and global cognitive deficits in this disease.
Objective: To explore the association between the macro and microstructure of sleep (sleep spindles) and the general cognitive state in persons with PD.
Article Synopsis
- The world is facing an aging population with increased feelings of loneliness, especially in older individuals with mild neurocognitive disorders; functional impairment in daily activities plays a significant role in this.
- A study conducted from February to December 2023 examined the connections between loneliness, depression, daily living deficits, and cognitive symptoms in older adults, involving interviews and established scales to measure these factors.
- Results showed that 30% of participants experienced moderate to high loneliness levels, and loneliness was linked to depression and lower daily living skills, highlighting the importance of addressing these issues to improve overall health and well-being in older adults.
Several studies indicate that some cognitive changes occur after COVID-19. Visuospatial alterations have been reported in 24-40 %. These alterations may be useful as early biomarkers of neurodegenerative disease.

Specific learning disorder (SLD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects 5-15% of school-aged children worldwide. Often, difficulties in reading (SLD-RD) and mathematics (SLD-MD) occur together. Deficits in phonological awareness (PA) have been identified as the common factor between the two difficulties.
