Effects of acute sleep deprivation on the brain function of individuals with migraine: a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging study by Shuqing Wang, Longteng Ma, Song Wang, Caohui Duan, Xinyu Wang, Xiangbing Bian, Deqi Zhai, Yin Sun, Siyuan Xie, Shuhua Zhang, Yingyuan Liu, Xiaoxue Lin, Ruobing Wang, Xiu Liu, Shengyuan Yu, Xin Lou, Zhao Dong

“…However, our analysis in within-network revealed that MWoA individuals exhibited a reduced within-network FC in dorsal attention network (DAN) after ASD compared to baseline (p-FDR = 0.031), whereas HCs showed no significant differences in within-network FC across all networks before and after ASD. Conclusions In comparison to HCs, MWoA individuals exhibited significant alterations in brain function after ASD, particularly within the thalamus, and MWoA individuals exhibited a reduced within-network FC in DAN after ASD compared to baseline. …”
