Abstract
BACKGROUNDS:Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques are emerging as efficacious treatments for sleep deprivation (SD). However, the stimulation location of NIBS (e.g. transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation) on intervening acute SD is limited in previous studies. In this study, we aimed to investigate potentially effective targets of NIBS on intervening acute SD. METHODS:We firstly performed a meta-analysis of 95 functional magnetic resonance imaging studies to find SD-related brain regions as regions of interest (ROI). Subsequently, we used resting-state functional connectivity analysis in 32 young individuals suffering from 24 h SD to identify brain surface regions associated with the ROIs. Finally, we applied 10-20 system coordinates to locate scalp sites for NIBS corresponding to the brain surface regions. RESULTS:We identified the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, bilateral inferior frontal gyrus, left supplementary motor area, precentral, right precuneus, bilateral inferior parietal gyrus, right middle temporal gyrus, and superior frontal gyrus as potential targets of NIBS for intervening SD. The 10-20 system coordinates corresponding to these brain surface regions were identified as potential sites for NIBS. CONCLUSIONS:In conclusion, we identified several potential targets which could provide alternative stimulation locations for the use of NIBS on young patients suffering from acute SD.
