'Teenagers are getting less sleep because of all kinds of excitations and tech advances,' the study author said. 'Unfortunately, this is with consequences.'
,"Functional connectome mediates the association between sleep disturbance and mental health in preadolescence: A longitudinal mediation study," was published January 18 and aimed to understand how two separate brain networks interconnect as it relates to sleep deprivation and mental health.
Researchers have found new brain links between sleep deprivation and mental health that could have long-term consequences for younger individuals.Ze Wang, an associate professor of diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, is the study's author.that he noticed the importance of sleep many years ago when he read several papers about the immediate amyloid protein deposition in the brain after a short-term sleep deprivation.
"Because of these strong scientific interests, I have been looking for an opportunity to investigate the sleep effects on the brain. The opportunity came when I got access to the large ABCD data three years ago." "The data is so big that it took me and my lab members two months to download them, about several months to fully process them," Wang told."My initial plan was to examine sleep effects on brain activity in terms of the dynamic change of the acquired brain signal and on the inter-regional connection. I'm also interested in the mediation effects [of] other contributing factors, such as puberty and socioeconomic status.
