The effect of hypervigilance on visual working memory in insomnia disorder: Evidence from ERP study
Background
This study investigates the impact of hypervigilance on visual working memory in individuals with insomnia disorder using event-related potentials (ERP) and time-frequency analysis.
Methods
A total of 45 insomnia disorder (ID) patients and 43 healthy controls (HC) participated in a visual working memory task that involved encoding, maintaining, and retrieving visual stimuli (S1 and S2) of blurred and clear pictures. ERP components and frequency bands were analyzed across these stages.
Results
The ID group had significantly altered ERP amplitudes and increased theta and beta activity across all stages compared to the HC group, indicating hypervigilance and cognitive resource consumption during working memory processing. In the encoding stage, P100 and N170 amplitudes were significantly correlated with insomnia severity (ISI), while P200 amplitude was linked to HAMA score. During the maintenance stage, CNV amplitude and increased theta power were associated with sustained attention, which correlated with ISI scores, reflecting the burden of maintaining attention in hypervigilance states. In the retrieval stage, the ID group showed reduced P300 amplitudes but increased LPC amplitudes, highlighting their struggle with memory updating and complex cognitive processing under hypervigilance states.
Conclusion
These findings suggest that ID patients exhibit hypervigilance, which affects the efficiency of visual working memory, impairs attention regulation, and increases cognitive load during tasks. Understanding these mechanisms may provide insights for clinical interventions aimed at improving cognitive function in ID patients.
期刊介绍:
The Brain Research Bulletin (BRB) aims to publish novel work that advances our knowledge of molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie neural network properties associated with behavior, cognition and other brain functions during neurodevelopment and in the adult. Although clinical research is out of the Journal''s scope, the BRB also aims to publish translation research that provides insight into biological mechanisms and processes associated with neurodegeneration mechanisms, neurological diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders. The Journal is especially interested in research using novel methodologies, such as optogenetics, multielectrode array recordings and life imaging in wild-type and genetically-modified animal models, with the goal to advance our understanding of how neurons, glia and networks function in vivo.
