Abstract: | Herein are presented the results of research in the area of sleep neuroimaging over the past year. Significant work has been
performed to clarify the basic mechanisms of sleep in humans. New studies also extend prior observations regarding altered
brain activation in response to sleep deprivation by adding information regarding vulnerability to sleep deprivation and regarding
the influence of task difficulty on aberrant responses. Studies in sleep disorder medicine have yielded significant findings
in insomnia, depression, and restless legs syndrome. Extensive advances have been made in the area of sleep apnea where physiologic
challenges have been used to probe brain activity in the pathophysiology of sleep apnea syndrome. |
