“…Furthermore, an increasing number of studies have shown that alterations in resting‐state functional connectivity play an important role in decreased vigilance after sleep deprivation. For example, some studies found that lapses in attention after sleep deprivation were correlated with changed functional connectivity of the frontoparietal, sensorimotor, and salience networks (Qi, Li, Zhang, Pan, Gao, Zhan, Liu, Shao, Weng, & Zhang, 2021; Qi, Li, Zhang, Pan, Gao, Zhan, Liu, Shao, & Zhang, 2021; Xu & Wenzhong, 2021). On the other hand, we previously found that increased functional coupling between the salience network and default mode network predicted higher subjective ratings of sleepiness following sleep deprivation (Lei et al, 2015).…”
