Research project funded by the National Institute of Mental Health to study how poor sleep efficiency affects brain development and emotion regulation in adolescents, potentially informing early intervention strategies for mood disorders.
Description
This project aims to understand the neurodevelopmental mechanisms through which sleep disruption relates to emotion dysregulation during adolescence, focusing on the Default Mode Network (DMN) and its plasticity. The study will define relationships between sleep efficiency, emotion dysregulation, and DMN plasticity in adolescents, and examine longitudinal impacts using data from the ABCD Study.
