Sleep State Modulates Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Neonates

Abstract: The spontaneous cerebral activity that gives rise to resting-state networks (RSNs) has been extensively studied in infants in recent years. However, the influence of sleep state on the presence of observable RSNs has yet to be formally investigated in the infant population, despite evidence that sleep modulates resting-state functional connectivity in adults. This effect could be extremely important, as most infant neuroimaging studies rely on the neonate to remain asleep throughout data acquisition. In this s… Show more

“…Testing sleeping infants might have prevented us from detecting subtle differences in RSFC properties across experimental groups. 79 , 80 Nonetheless, previous studies assessing RSFC in infants have also been conducted with sleeping infants, irrespective of the imaging modality (i.e., fMRI or fNIRS), and were able to identify RSFC differences induced by prenatal and postnatal factors such as premature birth 25 or socioeconomic status. 28 Brain imaging techniques are particularly sensitive to motion-induced artifacts commonly observed in acquisitions on awake infants.…”

“…Second, resting fMRI studies of infants are conducted during sleep (without sedation), whereas studies in adults and children are more commonly done while participants are awake. Different sleep states may be associated with distinct connectivity patterns, yet sleep state is seldom assessed or controlled for in infant fMRI research ( Lee et al, 2020 ). Third, the increased water content of the infant brain, relative to a more mature brain, alters tissue contrast (e.g., T2-weighted images in infants provide clearer grey-white matter demarcation) and may make image processing more challenging, eroding measurement reliability.…”

“…The signal is corrected by removing the motion artifacts. 30 However, this method is not applicable when faced with the difficulty of intercepting long-time artifact-free data segments. 31 Some researchers have corrected the motion artifacts according to their characteristics or frequencies through methods, such as principal component analysis method (PCA) 32 and wavelet filtering (WAVE).…”
