Selective Vulnerability of Executive Control in Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A Mechanistic Pathway to Memory Impairment
Our findings delineate a specific mechanistic pathway for the cognitive consequences of OSA. The disease's pathophysiological burden is selectively associated with executive control performance, and this vulnerability appears to serve as a core mechanism that accounts for the disorder's downstream impact on memory function. This work identifies executive control as a critical target for mitigating the broader cognitive impact of OSA.
