Brain scan markers may track different processes after sleep loss
In a 429-person sleep intervention study, proposed brain-scan measures of waste clearance responded differently to restricted sleep and prolonged wakefulness.In a 429-person sleep intervention study, proposed brain-scan measures of waste clearance responded differently to restricted sleep and prolonged wakefulness.
Preprint: non-randomised trial in 429 people exposed to short-term sleep loss, against habitual sleepMechanisms
Limit: MRI indices were indirect markers, not direct measurements of brain waste clearance
