The present chapter aims to retrace the state of the art regarding the literature that examines the SD effects on the brain through functional connectivity (FC) evaluated in fMRI and EEG settings, separately. Specifically, we focused on the cognitive domains mainly affected by sleep loss and the underlying brain connectivity alterations. SD disrupts homeostatic and circadian processes, negatively affecting cognitive and cerebral functionality explored through FC. All evidence confirms the detrimental role of SD on brain connectivity impacting several resting-state networks and resulting in cognitive impairments. To conclude, SD may offer useful insights into pathogenic mechanisms likely resembling those induced by chronic sleep loss that might find their application in the clinical context.</p>","PeriodicalId":12907,"journal":{"name":"Handbook of clinical neurology","volume":"206 ","pages":"27-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143046350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Excessive daytime sleepiness, fatigue, hypersomnia, and insomnia are the most common sleep disturbances in TBI patients. Post-TBI sleep-wake disturbances are often associated with pain, anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder. They may exacerbate cognitive impairment following TBI, reduce community integration, and delay recovery and return to normal life. Changes in sleep architecture following TBI have been reported in the literature but cannot fully explain the extent and intensity of the sleep-wake disturbances reported by TBI patients. The alteration in the circadian timing system is another factor that may partially account for the presence of post-TBI sleep-wake disturbances. Current literature supports cognitive behavioral therapy and sleep hygiene education, light therapy, and certain pharmacologic interventions for treating sleep disturbances in TBI patients.

These cognitive domains are deeply influenced by the sleep-wake cycle, which are governed by two key processes: the homeostatic process, which builds sleep pressure during wakefulness, and the circadian process, which aligns with environmental light cues to regulate wakefulness and sleep. When these processes fall out of sync-a condition known as circadian misalignment-alertness, sustained attention, and cognitive performance can suffer significantly. This misalignment is often observed in shift workers, individuals experiencing jet lag, and those with circadian rhythm sleep disorders. However, strategic light exposure can help mitigate these cognitive impairments by realigning circadian rhythms, enhancing wakefulness during desired periods, and facilitating sleep when needed. This chapter examines the complex interplay between light, circadian rhythms, the sleep-wake cycle, and cognitive functioning, offering a comprehensive exploration of how these factors shape cognitive performance throughout the day and under conditions of circadian misalignment.

This is because efferent projections from the SCN reach other hypothalamic nuclei, the pineal gland, thalamus, basal forebrain, and the brainstem. The ipRGCs also directly impact the prefrontal cortex and the perihabenular nucleus (mood). In particular, light suppresses the secretion of melatonin in a dose-dependent manner, mainly depending on irradiance and spectral composition of light. There is evidence that exposure to light-emitting devices from luminaires and screens before bedtime can impact on sleep onset latency, sleep duration, and sleep quality. Likewise, light exposure during daytime modulates sleep architecture, duration, and sleep quality during the subsequent night.

The combination of these processes, modulated by environmental cues, such as light-dark cycles and work schedules, represents a complex multiscale system that regulates sleep-wake cycles and brain dynamics. Physiology-based mathematical models have successfully explained the mechanisms underpinning dynamics at specific scales and are a useful tool to investigate interactions across multiple scales. They can help answer questions such as how do electroencephalographic (EEG) features relate to subthalamic neuron activity? Or how are local cortical dynamics regulated by the homeostatic and circadian mechanisms? In this chapter, we review two types of models that are well-positioned to consider such interactions. Part I of the chapter focuses on the subthalamic sleep regulatory networks and a model of arousal dynamics capable of predicting sleep, circadian rhythms, and cognitive outputs.

The prevalence of FASP is currently estimated to be between 0.21% and 0.5%. Autosomal dominant mutations in circadian clock genes like PER2, CK1, PER3, CRY2, TIMELESS, and DEC2 have been linked to FASP, some with pleiotropic effects influencing other health aspects like migraine and depression. Early morning awakening is, instead, more common among older individuals, occurring in almost 4% of cases, without considering associated comorbidities. Advanced sleep-wake phase disorder (ASWPD) is characterized by a consistent and distressing anticipation of sleep-wake timing, affecting almost 1% of middle-aged individuals. On average, women have a shorter circadian period than men, making them more susceptible to ASWPD, albeit no significant gender discrepancies have been observed. Age-related alterations in circadian rhythms are exacerbated and compounded by neurodegenerative disorders, impacting the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), sensitivity to light, and light responsiveness in those affected.
