A study from Florida International University reveals structural brain changes linked to sleep disorders like insomnia and sleep apnea, affecting attention and emotion regulation. The analysis of 57 brain imaging studies highlights common alterations in the thalamus and specific differences in the posterior cingulate cortex related to parasomnias. These findings may explain cognitive and emotional difficulties faced by individuals with sleep issues. However, the study does not establish a direct causal relationship between sleep disorders and brain changes, leaving open questions for future research.
