Abstract

Men are reported to be likely to express more anger than women. Insufficient sleep may lead to cognitive changes, and most adults are plagued by this problem. Researches have proved that lack of sleep can cause the emotion of anger. However, the neural mechanisms of this phenomenon still need to be discovered. Aiming to explore why men tend to experience anger after sleep deprivation (SD) by utilizing the method of brain network science, a generalized PsychoPhysiological Interaction (gPPI) analysis was administered. A total of 18 male participants were enrolled in this study. As a vital area for regulating emotions, the left frontal orbital cortex (FOrb) showed decreased connectivity to the posterior cingulate gyrus (PC) and cerebellum, while PC and cerebellum are known to involve in emotion regulation. Decreased connectivity in these areas might provide a plausible explanation for how SD influences male to process the emotion of anger. Our results provide further evidence that sleep deprivation is closely related to the emotion of anger and the adoption of brain network science offers new insights in uncovering the neural mechanism for SD’s impact on men’s processing of anger.
