57
Explain the response of sleep-deprived subjects to disturbing images, and the suggested explanation for the atypical reaction:
- The people that had a good night of sleep they showed a nice, modest controlled response in the emotional sector of the brain(amygdala) to the disturbing images. But when they looked at the sleep deprived patients they found that these sectors of the brain had hyperactive brain response, so it tells us that the emotional brain sector was reacting far more strongly to those negative images.
