Benzene, Response to Major Comments on TSD, June 2001

Response to Comments on Toxicological Issues related to Benzene submitted by the American Petroleum Institute (API)

Comment 1: "We recognize that the supporting document for prioritization of benzene was developed within the context of a restrictive time frame, and given the charge of the Children’s Environmental Heath Protection Act, we recognize that an exhaustive review of the subject matter is not required. However, by failing to reference or discuss sections of the benzene literature that do not support...

Increased cerebral response during a divided attention task following sleep deprivation.

We recently reported that the brain showed greater responsiveness to some cognitive demands following total sleep deprivation (TSD). Specifically, verbal learning led to increased cerebral activation following TSD while arithmetic resulted in decreased activation. Here we report data from a divided attention task that combined verbal learning and arithmetic. Thirteen normal control subjects per...

Relations between depressed mood and vocal parameters before, during and after sleep deprivation: a circadian rhythm study.

The mechanism underlying improvement after total sleep deprivation (TSD) was studied in 14 major depressed patients. The suggestions that (1) circadian processes and/or (2) dimensions of arousal may play a role in the response to TSD were investigated. Diurnal variation of depressed mood and of mood- and arousal-related vocal parameters was studied in relation to the effect of TSD on depressed ...
