Sleep habits may raise dementia risk - and researchers are closer to understanding how.

Neuroscientists David Earnest and Karienn A. De Souza explain that genetics may account for only a small portion of Alzheimer's risk, while lifestyle factors—especially chronic sleep and circadian rhythm disruption—could play a major role. Their research suggests that long-term irregular sleep patterns, such as shift work, can trigger inflammation, alter brain immune cells, and increase the risk of cognitive decline and dementia later in life. They recommend maintaining consistent sleep schedules and minimizing circadian disruption whenever possible.

In THE ELUSIVE BODY, Alexandra Sifferlin compiles her years of research about America’s diagnosis crisis—what it means to live without an accurate diagnosis and how both medical and patient communities are working to improve the diagnostic process—and delivers a powerful, compassionate look at how we can make this crucial part of the treatment protocol more human. Afterall, a diagnosis is more than a label – it’s also a lifeline that opens doors to treatment options, financial support, and an understanding community.

“The Elusive Body artfully melds modern medical science with timeless narratives of people struggling for answers to mysterious maladies. Alexandra Sifferlin educates the mind and pulls at the heart as she explores the far reaches of clinical diagnosis.”

Can Eye Movements Rewire Trauma? The Therapy Changing How Clinicians Treat PTSD.

Nearly 70% of U.S. adults report experiencing at least one traumatic event in their lifetime, and an estimated 13 million Americans are living with post-traumatic stress  disorder in any given year, according to federal health data. As demand for trauma therapy rises nationwide, clinicians are increasingly turning to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, a structured psychotherapy designed to help patients process distressing memories in a controlled setting. 

During treatment, individuals briefly recall traumatic experiences while engaging in guided bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements, a process researchers say can help the brain refile memories so they are less emotionally charged. Endorsed by major health organizations and supported by dozens of clinical trials, EMDR has been shown to significantly reduce PTSD symptoms, with many single-incident trauma  patients no longer meeting diagnostic criteria after several sessions.
