A questionnaire measure of adult attachment anxiety correlates with frontal hemispheric asymmetry in sleep spindle activity.

ABSTRACT: Subjects with high levels of attachment anxiety and neuroticism were proposed to be characterized by higher relative right rather than left frontal activity. Since sleep spindles are argued to reflect enhanced offline neuroplasticity, higher spindle activity measured over the right frontal areas relative to the corresponding left frontal ones could index higher attachment anxiety and neuroticism. Our aim was to explore the relationship between the lateralization patterns of frontally dominant slow sleep spindles and questionnaire measures of adult attachment anxiety and neuroticism. Thirty-four healthy subjects (male = 19; M_age = 31.64; SD_age = 9.5) were enrolled in our preliminary study. Second night EEG/polysomnography records and questionnaire measures of pe
