Memory and Sleep: An Exploration of Their Interconnection will be held on Tuesday, March 25, 2025 from 1 to 2 p.m.

The Brain Bus raises awareness of Alzheimer’s and related dementias and addresses the benefits of early detection, early diagnosis, brain health and risk reduction. With two mobile units and virtual offerings, the Brain Bus is able to travel throughout Florida.

Significant progress has been made in understanding Alzheimer’s and dementia, leading to improved prevention, detection, diagnostics, and treatments. Quality sleep is crucial for memory consolidation, while poor sleep increases the risk of cognitive decline, making it a modifiable risk factor for brain
health.

Scientists are studying how sleep enhances memory and cognition, focusing on which memory aspects

benefit and the brain activity patterns involved. The talk will explore how sleep not only stores memories but also helps the brain connect them, extract meaning, and transform daily experiences into lasting knowledge.

Join us to learn about:
The landscape of Alzheimer’s and dementia science.
Risk factors for Alzheimer’s and other dementias.
Why memory isn’t just about remembering.
Local Alzheimer’s Association programs.
