Regional Neocortical Gray Matter Structure and Sleep Fragmentation in Older Adults

Conclusions:Lower cortical gray matter volume in the lateral orbitofrontal cortex and inferior frontal gyrus pars orbitalis is associated with greater sleep fragmentation in older community-dwelling adults. Further work is needed to clarify whether this is a consequence of or contributor to sleep fragmentation.Commentary:A commentary on this article appears in this issue on page 15.Citation:Lim AS, Fleischman DA, Dawe RJ, Yu L, Arfanakis K, Buchman AS, Bennett DA.
