OSA subjects show widespread lowered tissue integrity in autonomic, mood, and cognitive control sites over healthy controls. The pathological processes contributing to the alterations may include repetitive hypoxic and hypercarbic processes and excitotoxic injury, leading to altered brain tissue integrity in OSA.
