The Role of Sleep in Cognition and Emotion (2009, methodology): “This second premise appears to accurately explain the findings discussed in the section above on memory encoding (Yoo et al. 2007b), which describe a significant impairment of hippocampal encoding activity when sleep has not taken place (through deprivation) being associated with a decreased…”
The Role of Sleep in Emotional Brain Function (2014, methodology): “…supporting this theory, and potentially underlying the alterations in salience discrimination, PTSD patients express hyperactivity of the amygdala yet hypoactivity of the PFC; a similar profile to that observed in sleep-deprived healthy controls (Figure 8)(Motomura et al 2013, Yoo et al 2007).”
Adolescents’ Electronic Media Use at Night, Sleep Disturbance, and Depressive Symptoms in the Smartphone Age (2014, background): “decreased connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala (Yoo et al. 2007). Amygdala activity is known to reflect processes related to negative affectivity including anxiety. The increase in amygdala activity and decrease in prefrontal control of the amygdala related to sleep deprivatio”
The effects of poor quality sleep on brain function and risk taking in adolescence (2013, positive): “Indeed, functional connectivity analyses in adults reveal that poor sleep not only impairs brain function in affective and cognitive control regions but also disrupts cross-talk between these neural networks (Gujar et al., 2011; Venkatraman et al., 2011; Yoo et al., 2007).”
The brain basis of emotion: A meta-analytic review (2012, positive): “This finding replicates prior meta-analytic evidence (Costafreda et al. 2008) and is consistent with our hypothesis that the amygdala responds preferentially to salient exteroceptive (vs. interoceptive) sensations.”

(2016, background): “Anxiety or stress [121], extended exposure to high altitudes [122], recent sleepquality [123,124], or phaseof themenstrual cycle (forwomen) [125] are all examples of poorly understood vascular and neural factors thatmay hinder the reliability of fMRI measurements if they are not properly measured an”
