abstract = {STUDY OBJECTIVES: Serotonin and its cerebral receptors play
an important role in sleep-wake regulation. The aim of the
current study is to investigate the effect of 24-h total
sleep deprivation on the apparent serotonin 2A receptor
(5-HT(2A)R) binding capacity in the human brain to test the
hypothesis that sleep deprivation induces global molecular
alterations in the cortical serotonergic receptor system.
DESIGN: Volunteers were tested twice with the
subtype-selective radiotracer [(18)F]altanserin and positron
emission tomography (PET) for imaging of 5-HT(2A)Rs at
baseline and after 24 h of sleep deprivation.
[(18)F]Altanserin binding potentials were analyzed in 13
neocortical regions of interest. The efficacy of sleep
deprivation was assessed by questionnaires, waking
electroencephalography, and cognitive performance
measurements. SETTING: Sleep laboratory and neuroimaging
center. PATIENTS OR PARTICIPANTS: Eighteen healthy
volunteers. INTERVENTIONS: Sleep deprivation. MEASUREMENTS
AND RESULTS: A total of 24 hours of sleep deprivation led to
a $9.6\%$ increase of [(18)F]altanserin binding on
neocortical 5-HT(2A) receptors. Significant region-specific
increases were found in the medial inferior frontal gyrus,
insula, and anterior cingulate, parietal, sensomotoric, and
ventrolateral prefrontal cortices. CONCLUSIONS: This study
demonstrates that a single night of total sleep deprivation
causes significant increases of 5-HT(2A)R binding potentials
in a variety of cortical regions although the increase
declines as sleep deprivation continued. It provides in vivo
evidence that total sleep deprivation induces adaptive
processes in the serotonergic system of the human brain.
