Does brain activation during a working memory task at rested baseline and sleep-deprivation state differ based on sleep-deprivation vulnerability?
Brain activation patterns during a working memory task at rested baseline may indicate an individual's vulnerability to sleep deprivation.
These preliminary data suggest that patterns of brain activation during the Sternberg working memory task at the rested baseline and the sleep-deprivation state, differ across individuals as a function of their sleep-deprivation vulnerability.
Mu et al. (2005) studied this question.
