Molecular mechanisms explaining sex-specific functional connectivity changes in chronic insomnia disorder by Liyong Yu, Zhifu Shen, Wei Wei, Zeyang Dou, Yucai Luo, Daijie Hu, Wenting Lin, Guangli Zhao, Xiaojuan Hong, Siyi Yu

“…Abstract Background This study investigates the hypothesis that chronic insomnia disorder (CID) is characterized by sex-specific changes in resting-state functional connectivity (rsFC), with certain molecular mechanisms potentially influencing CID's pathophysiology by altering rsFC in relevant networks. Methods Utilizing a resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) dataset of 395 participants, including 199 CID patients and 196 healthy controls, we examined sex-specific rsFC effects, particularly in the default mode network (DMN) and five insomnia-genetically vulnerable regions of interest (ROIs). …”
