Distinct Convergent Brain Alterations in Sleep Disorders and Sleep Deprivation: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Sleep disorders have different etiologies yet share some nocturnal and daytime symptoms, suggesting common neurobiological substrates; healthy individuals undergoing experimental sleep deprivation also report analogous daytime symptoms. However, brain similarities and differences between long-term sleep disorders and short-term sleep deprivation are unclear.

Objective

To investigate the shared and specific neural correlates across sleep disorders and sleep deprivation.

Data sources

PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and BrainMap were searched up to January 2024 to identify relevant structural and functional neuroimaging articles.

Study selection

Whole-brain neuroimaging articles reporting voxel-based group differences between patients with diffe
