Description

The study identifies 8 key hub genes (TOP2A, AURKB, PVALB, etc.) associated with sleep deprivation but doesn’t explain the molecular mechanisms by which these genes cause cognitive dysfunction. Understanding these pathways is critical for developing targeted interventions for sleep-related cognitive decline.
