Relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and degeneration of associated brain regions

Obstructive sleep apnea is linked to the degeneration of brain regions associated with memory due to damage to small blood vessels in the brain. According to a study from the University of California, Irvine (United States), published in the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology, brain changes were found to be strongly associated with the severity of decreased oxygen levels during REM sleep (rapid eye movement sleep).
