Summary
Abstract \nPurpose: In this study, our aim was to examine neural correlates of cognitive–behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I).\n\nMethods: It was investigated to what extent successfully tailored CBT-I modified the neural activity pattern observed before the intervention, when two insomnia patients were exposed to idiosyncratic stimuli pertaining to past/present and future concerns in an fMRI experiment.\n\nResults: Our findings suggested that successful CBT-I seems to normalize brain overactivity. This finding is enhanced by the visible attenuation of activity in brain regions implicated in self-referential processing and by the significant activation within visual areas across all experimental conditions.\n\nConclusion:It is likely that psychological treatment changes the brain’s function in insomnia. However, studies with larger sample sizes are needed to establish solid evidence.
