Researchers at State University's sleep research lab deprived some volunteers of sleep for 35 hours while others slept normally.

If the results are similar to those reported in Focus on Neuroscience: The Sleep-Deprived Emotional Brain, the researchers are likely to find that:


A) there will be no difference in brain activity between the groups, regardless of the type of image each group saw.
B) the sleep-deprived brain is much more prone to strong emotional reactions, especially in response to negative stimuli.
C) compared to the adequately rested participants, the sleep-deprived participants will have reduced activity in a brain area called the amygdala.
