Enhanced Visual Cortex Activation in People With Narcolepsy Type 1 During Active Sleep Resistance: An fMRI-EEG Study
Pooling both subject groups, significantly higher fMRI activation when actively resisting sleep was seen in the brainstem, superior cerebellum, bilateral thalamus and visual cortices. In controls the ...
