these deficits, 8 , 9 neuroimaging studies suggest that OSA, particularly if left undiagnosed and untreated, may result in permanent damage to the brain areas associated with cognitive function. Specifically, research demonstrated significant gray matter atrophy in the hippocampus and amygdala (areas associated with memory) as well as the frontal lobe (responsible for executive function and attention). 8 This finding was further supported by a study employing functional MRI, which measures the real-time activity of the brain by imaging the amount of blood
