A neural signature of sleep deprivation in the human brain.
Nature communications·July 22, 2026·PMID 42637707
Why it mattersSleep loss impairs cognition and health, but objective neural markers are lacking. This signature could serve as a biomarker for monitoring sleep-related neural impacts in clinical and performance settings, potentially guiding interventions for sleep disorders or optimizing recovery in high-demand populations.
