CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change poses an increasing threat to our neurological health, according to a review study led by UCL researchers.
The Perspective article, published in Nature Reviews Neurology, explores how rising temperatures and environmental changes are impacting brain function, particularly in relation to sleep, stroke and epilepsy.
Sleep is crucial for neurological and mental health, but extreme temperatures can disrupt sleep patterns. The researchers state that exploring these complex relationships will be crucial to bolster resilience to climate change and to help minimise the risk of developing neurological conditions associated with poor sleep and circadian disturbance.
