Habitual Snoring Linked to Brain Changes in Children
March 10, 2022
This finding could explain why snoring and disrupted sleep are associated with behavioral problems including inattention, hyperactivity, and aggression.
Children who regularly snore have structural changes in their brain that may account for the behavioral problems associated with the condition, including lack of focus, hyperactivity, and learning difficulties at school. That is the finding of a study conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM), which was published in the journal Nature Communications.
