The #SleepWakeCycle is regulated by the #CerebralAdenosinergicSystem. During #AcuteSleepDeprivation, #CerebralA1AdenosineReceptor availability increases, contributing to #CognitiveImpairment. This study used #Polysomnography, #PET, and cognitive testing to examine #ChronicSleepDeprivation.
Chronic sleep loss and A1 adenosine receptors in the human brain
AbstractStudy Objectives. The cerebral adenosinergic system is involved in sleep–wake regulation and presumably represents a neuro-molecular correlate of h
