Insomnia disorder (ID) constitutes a social public health concern and represents the second most prevalent type of mental illness globally. Furthermore,other mental disorders and physical ailments interact causally and mutually reinforce each other. The amygdala serves as a crucial emotional hub,not only regulating behavioral cognition and emotions but also functioning as a significant sleep regulator. With the progress of neuroimaging and MRI technology,it becomes feasible to illuminate the neuropathological mechanism of ID by analyzing the variations in the structure,function,fiber tracts and blood flow of the amygdala among ID patients. In this paper,the alterations in the amygdala of ID patients were summarized via MRI multimodal technology,with the aim of offering novel perspectives for the study of the pathological mechanism of ID and a fresh direction for treatment.
