Abnormal functional connectivity of the salience network in insomnia
Abstract
The salience network plays an important role in detecting stimuli related to behavior and integrating neural processes. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in functional connectivity of the salience network in insomnia patients. Independent component analysis combined with a dual regression approach was used to examine functional connectivity differences in the salience network between patients with insomnia (n = 33) and healthy controls (n = 33). Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between differences in functional connectivity and the clinical characteristics of insomnia patients. Compared to healthy controls, insomnia patients showed increased functional connectivity in the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex within the salience network, as well as greater connectivity between the salience network and other brain regions including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, superior frontal gyrus, sensorimotor area and brain stem. The correlation analysis showed that increased functional connectivity between the salience network and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex was positively correlated with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score. Increased functional connectivity between salience network and several brain regions may be related to hyperarousal in insomnia patients. The connectivity between salience network and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex may potentially be used as a neuroimaging biomarker of sleep quality.
