Özet

BACKGROUND/AIM: The limbic system, specifically the hippocampus, plays a key role in controlling the sleep-wake cycle. Changes in these particular structures of the central nervous system have been suggested to be related to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). We hypothesized that reduced hippocampal volume is a risk factor for excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in OSAS.
