[Abstract] Insomnia disorder (ID) is a common sleep disorder, long-term chronic ID seriously affects the life and work of patients, and it also leads to cognitive impairment and affective disorder. Studies have shown that ID involves abnormalities in a wide range of brain regions. In recent years, neuroimaging techniques combined with different analytical methods have been widely used in ID research, which can objectively and indirectly reflect abnormalities in brain structure and functional activities, and can provide objective imaging evidence for ID neuro-pathophysiological mechanisms, and provide neuroimaging biomarkers for early diagnosis and efficacy evaluation of ID. Therefore, In this paper, we reviewed the application of neuroimaging technology in ID in recent years to understand its latest research progress.
