Synopsis
A series of studies have suggested the cognitive deficits in patients with narcolepsy. The aim of the current study is to explore the correlation between abnormal GABA+/Glx ratio in sleep state and abnormal cognitive function in patients with narcolepsy using Hadamard Encoding and Reconstruction of Mega-Edited Spectroscopy (HERMES) method. This study demonstrate that the ratio of GABA+/Glx in prefrontal lobe of narcolepsy patients during N2 sleep stage were higher than that of normal control group, which may be related to their abnormal cognitive functions.
