Sleep deprivation can affect the waking electroencephalogram (EEG) that may reflect functional organization of the brain. We examined the effect of total sleep deprivation (TSD) on functional organization between different cortical areas from the waking EEG. Waking EEG data were recorded from 18 healthy male volunteers with eyes closed after 8-h night's sleep and after 24 It of TSD. The averaged cross mutual information (A-CMI) after 24h of TSD were compared to before TSD. 24h of TSD yielded the decreased A-CMIs in the inter-hemispheric C3-F4, C3-F8, and C3-C4 pairs: therefore, the electrodes that contribute to pairs with significant decrease of A-CMI were C3, F4, F8, and C4. The decreased A-CMIs between C3 and right frontal and central brain areas after 24h of TSD may reflect the changes of cortico-cortical functional organization by homeostatic process during TSD. Our results of the frontal-area-related A-CMI decreases may support that the frontal brain regions are related to the homeostatic deterioration of brain function due to TSD.
