Procedural learning worsens with OSA severity in older adults and is insensitive to short exposure supplemental oxygen therapy
As in younger adults, more severe sleep apnea is associated with worse motor procedural learning in older adults. However, a single night of NOS treatment had no effect on procedural learning, suggesting that OSA-related cognitive deficits result from chronic impacts of sleep disruption and hypoxia.
