Why the study?
Does 36 hours of total sleep deprivation alter resting-state amygdala functional connectivity?
Does 36 hours of total sleep deprivation alter resting-state amygdala functional connectivity?
Total sleep deprivation for 36 hours alters resting-state amygdala functional connectivity, which may contribute to its psychophysiological effects.
May link acute sleep loss to emotional dysregulation; hypothesis-generating for amygdala circuit studies.
These findings demonstrate that disturbance in amygdala related circuits may contribute to TSD psychophysiology and suggest that functional connectivity studies of the amygdala during the resting state may be used to discern aberrant patterns of coupling within these circuits after TSD.
