Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia in older adults
• AD is a tauopathy due to the abnormal aggregations of tau that characterize this disease.
• Recent research shows a link between the development of the tauopathy and the disruption of the circadian rhythm.
• HYPTHOTHESIS: Animals that are resistant to tauopathy-mediated sleep disruption are resistant to memory loss
