Altered connection properties of important network hubs may be neural risk factors for individuals with primary insomnia
Abstract Primary insomnia (PIs) is highly prevalent and can lead to adverse socioeconomic impacts, but the underlying mechanism of its complex brain network impairment remains largely unknown. Functional studies are too few and diverse in methodology, which makes it difficult to glean general conclu...
