Research suggests a bidirectional relationship between brain and cognitive development and sleep in early childhood. Polysomnography is essential for the investigation of the mechanisms underlying sleep's role in brain and cognitive development. This paper outlines methods for integrating measures of sleep and sleep physiology into cognitive developmental neuroscience research. There are various options when choosing a polysomnography system depending on the research question. We offer considerations such as application time, recording time, montage density and analysis options, and cost. We also review suggestions for modifying procedures with developmental populations to support high quality polysomnography data collection. We hope that this overview will facilitate more developmental cognitive neuroscience studies of sleep to advance our understanding of early brain and cognitive development.
研究表明,幼儿期大脑与认知发展和睡眠之间存在双向关系。多导睡眠图对于研究睡眠在大脑和认知发展中作用的潜在机制至关重要。本文概述了将睡眠及睡眠生理学测量方法整合到认知发展神经科学研究中的方法。根据研究问题选择多导睡眠图系统时有多种选择。我们提供了诸如应用时间、记录时间、导联密度和分析选项以及成本等方面的考量。我们还回顾了针对发育中的人群修改程序的建议,以支持高质量的多导睡眠图数据收集。我们希望这一概述将促进更多关于睡眠的发育认知神经科学研究,以增进我们对早期大脑和认知发展的理解。
