Dr. Jeffrey Iliff spoke with George Vradenburg for the August Alzheimer’s Talks, presented by UsAgainstAlzheimer's. Dr. Iliff is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University and he was part of a team that discovered a critical brain-cleansing system. During this discussion he outlined his research on how sleep helps clear waste from the brain and how sleep and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s might be connected. We also discussed useful tips that we can all use to improve our sleep and brain health.
