Cognitive brain responses during circadian wake-promotion: evidence for sleep-pressure-dependent hypothalamic activations

Abstract The two-process model of sleep-wake regulation posits that sleep-wake-dependent homeostatic processes interact with the circadian timing system to affect human behavior. The circadian timing system is fundamental to maintaining stable cognitive performance, as it counteracts growing homeost...
