Reduced quantity or quality of sleep is referred to as sleep deprivation or sleep disruption. In recent years, more and more people experience sleep deprivation because of rising social pressure, an accelerated pace of life, and work and study obligations. Lack of sleep is strongly linked to a higher mortality rate and has a large impact on how well the body and brain functions. Sleep deprivation or disruption has a negative impact on a person's physical and mental health, as it affects both brain processes like attention, mood and working memory. To successfully counteract the consequences of sleep deprivation, it is crucial to understand the process by which it impacts cognitive performance.
This Research Topic aims to explore the effects of sleep deprivation on the brain, from functional connectivity to memory. We welcome all original research articles and reviews that focus on, but not limited to, the following topics:
• Neuroimaging studies
• Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
• Voxel-based morphometry (VBM)
• Resting-state functional connectivity (RSFCs)
• Electroencephalography (EEG)
• Effect of sleep deprivation on memory, attention, and mood
