[Abstract] Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most common sleep disorders, characterized by partial or complete airway obstruction and intermittent hypoxia due to collapse of the upper airway during sleep, and its occurrence is associated with abnormal changes in the structural and functional brain networks. With the rapid development of MRI, more and more researchers have focused on the association between changes in network properties and the pathophysiological mechanisms of OSA. The purpose of this paper is to review the progress of research on brain structure and functional networks in OSA, to analyze the characteristics of functional and structural network property changes in OSA from multiple perspectives, and to discuss the connection and mechanisms between neuropathological changes in OSA and changes in brain function and structural network properties, in order to provide new ideas for clinical search for neuroimaging markers of OSA and understanding the potential neuroimaging mechanisms of cognitive dysfunction caused by OSA.
