Brief sleep disruption alters synaptic structures among hippocampal and neocortical somatostatin-expressing interneurons
We suggest that the synaptic connectivity of SST+ interneurons is significantly altered in a brain region-specific manner by a few hours of sleep loss. This suggests a cell type-specific mechanism by which sleep loss disrupts cognition and alters excitatory-inhibitory balance in brain networks.
