Abstract:
As the most common sleep disorder,insomnia decreases the quality of life and is the high risk for cardiovascular disease,neurological disease,and psychiatric disease. It has become a major public health problem. In recent years,magnetic resonance imaging technology has been widely used for research on the brain structure in patients with insomnia. This article summarizes recent research findings of the abnormal brain structure and the potential neural mechanism of insomnia,with an attempt to understand the mechanisms in abnormal brain regions and thus further identify the pathophysiology of insomnia.
