“The prefrontal cortex is one of the first things to go if you are sleep deprived. So that area of the brain gets sort of switched off,” said Dr. Walker. He added, “The more that you are lacking in your sleep, the deep emotional centers of the brain which are normally controlled and kept in check by that pre-frontal cortex, they just erupt in terms of their activity.”
