Why the study?
Does brain activation during a working memory task at rested baseline and sleep-deprivation state differ based on sleep-deprivation vulnerability?
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.
Baseline activation patterns may flag sleep-deprivation vulnerability; leaves open prospective validation before any clinical use.
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.
