Abstract

Sleep issues have been known to be associated with a variety of health risks. Recent research has shown the importance of sleep for brain clearance, with increases in brain clearance occurring during sleep. PVS seen on MRI are known to represent both influx and efflux pathways for the exchange of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and interstitial fluid (ISF) in the brain parenchyma, a key process underlying the waste clearance system. 1 Numerous recent studies have found links between sleep disruption and PVS volume changes. However, no study to date has been able to examine within-subject changes in PVS resulting from experimental manipulation of sleep. Our study represents the first within-subject study looking at the effects of partial sleep deprivation on PVS volume fraction using an automated PVS segmentation technique.
