Working memory was evaluated after normal sleep, and at 24 and 35 h of sleep
deprivation (SD) in 26 healthy young adults to examine the neural correlates of
inter-individual differences in performance. The extent of performance decline
was not significantly different between the two SD test periods although there
was greater variability in performance at SD35. In both SD sessions, there was
reduced task-related activation (relative to normal sleep) in both superior
parietal regions and the left thalamus. Activation of the left parietal and left
frontal regions after normal sleep was negatively correlated with performance
accuracy decline from normal sleep to SD24 thus differentiating persons who
maintained working memory performance following SD from those who were vulnerable
to its effects.
