April 13 (UPI) -- Children who snore regularly show signs of structural changes in their brains that perhaps contribute to symptoms such as trouble focusing, hyperactivity and learning difficulties at school, an analysis published Tuesday by Nature Communications found.
Based on reports from parents, children who snored during sleep three or more times per week tended to have thinner gray matter in several regions in the frontal lobes of their brains, the researchers said.
