dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Sleep is an important aspect of human health and well-being and influences various physiological and cognitive functions such as learning and attention. On the other hand, sleep deprivation activates the sympathetic nervous system, negatively impacting blood pressure, heart rate, glucose metabolism, cortisol, and hormones. It alters mood, behaviour, and reduces awareness leading to a poor performance, hence the importance of studying the neurophysiological and neurocognitive effects of 24h sleep deprivation. Objective: Our main goal is to investigate the effects of acute sleep deprivation on the cerebral cortex in healthy university students using a multimodal approach and neurocognitive scales. Methods: This study will use a magnetic stimulator to assess neurophysiological changes, while actigraphy will verify sleep deprivation in the intervention group. Neuropsychological assessments include the Trail Making Test (TMT), measuring visual processing speed and cognitive flexibility, the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT), assessing sustained attention through reaction times to unpredictable stimuli and N-Back test measuring working memory by requiring participants to recall objects presented a few steps earlier. EEG data will be recorded using a cap with 32 channels during. This integrated approach provides a comprehensive analysis of the effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive and neurophysiological functions. Expected Results: Hypothetically, there will be a significant decline in cognitive performance, with impairments in key areas such as visual attention, processing speed and cognitive flexibility. These results will likely manifest in longer reaction times, more frequent errors and overall lower task execution.pt_PT
