A. Basic Science XI. Sleep Deprivation<br />

Methods: 6 C/C, 45 C/T and 78 T/T healthy adults (29.9±6.9y;63females)<br />

completed 2 baseline (10h TIB) nights, followed by 5 consecutive PSD<br />

nights (4h TIB) in a laboratory experiment assessing neurobehavioral<br />

measures (cognitive and executive function tests, subjective sleepiness,<br />

mood and fatigue, MWT) and physiological sleep responses. The C/C<br />

and C/T groups did not differ in outcomes and were combined; comparisons<br />

were conducted between C allele carriers (C/C+C/T;N=51) and<br />

the T/T genotype (N=78). T/T genotypic and T allelic frequencies were<br />

higher in African Americans than Caucasians; reported results were significant<br />

Results: During PSD, C allele carriers showed poorer executive functioning<br />

performance on the Tower of London (p’s
