Story summary
- A neuroimaging meta-analysis found convergent structural decreases in the thalamus, especially the pulvinar nucleus, in individuals with sleep disorders.
- The posterior cingulate cortex showed changes related to parasomnias, affecting reward processing and decision-making.
- These alterations may lead to increased error rates and attentional lapses in individuals with disrupted sleep.
- The study highlights the need for further research on the neurobiological mechanisms of various sleep disorders to improve targeted interventions.
