Objective

Neuroimaging studies provide evidence of disturbed resting-state brain networks in Schizophrenia (SZ). However, untangling the neuronal mechanisms that subserve these baseline alterations requires measurement of their electrophysiological underpinnings. This systematic review specifically investigates the contributions of resting-state Magnetoencephalography (MEG) in elucidating abnormal neural organization in SZ patients.

Method

A systematic literature review of resting-state MEG studies in SZ was conducted. This literature is discussed in relation to findings from resting-state fMRI and EEG, as well as to task-based MEG research in SZ population. Importantly, methodological limitations are considered and recommendations to overcome current limitations are proposed.

Results

Resting-state MEG literature in SZ points towards altered local and long-range oscillatory network dynamics in various frequency bands. Critical methodological challenges with respect to experiment design, and data collection and analysis need to be taken into consideration.

Conclusion

Spontaneous MEG data show that local and global neural organization is altered in SZ patients. MEG is a highly promising tool to fill in knowledge gaps about the neurophysiology of SZ. However, to reach its fullest potential, basic methodological challenges need to be overcome.

Significance

MEG-based resting-state power and connectivity findings could be great assets to clinical and translational research in psychiatry, and SZ in particular.  相似文献

Objective

This paper proposes supervised and unsupervised algorithms for automatic muscle artifact detection and removal from long-term EEG recordings, which combine canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and wavelets with random forests (RF).

Methods

The proposed algorithms first perform CCA and continuous wavelet transform of the canonical components to generate a number of features which include component autocorrelation values and wavelet coefficient magnitude values. A subset of the most important features is subsequently selected using RF and labelled observations (supervised case) or synthetic data constructed from the original observations (unsupervised case). The proposed algorithms are evaluated using realistic simulation data as well as 30 min epochs of non-invasive EEG recordings obtained from ten patients with epilepsy.

Results

We assessed the performance of the proposed algorithms using classification performance and goodness-of-fit values for noisy and noise-free signal windows. In the simulation study, where the ground truth was known, the proposed algorithms yielded almost perfect performance. In the case of experimental data, where expert marking was performed, the results suggest that both the supervised and unsupervised algorithm versions were able to remove artifacts without affecting noise-free channels considerably, outperforming standard CCA, independent component analysis (ICA) and Lagged Auto-Mutual Information Clustering (LAMIC).

Conclusion

The proposed algorithms achieved excellent performance for both simulation and experimental data. Importantly, for the first time to our knowledge, we were able to perform entirely unsupervised artifact removal, i.e. without using already marked noisy data segments, achieving performance that is comparable to the supervised case.

Significance

Overall, the results suggest that the proposed algorithms yield significant future potential for improving EEG signal quality in research or clinical settings without the need for marking by expert neurophysiologists, EMG signal recording and user visual inspection.  相似文献

Objective

Neurophysiologic monitoring parameters related to cognition in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) are sparse. Previous work reported an association between magnetoencephalographic (MEG) alpha-1 activity and information processing speed. While this remains to be replicated by more available electroencephalographic (EEG) methods, also other established EEG markers, e.g. the slow-wave/fast-wave ratio (theta/beta ratio), remain to be explored in this context.

Methods

Performance on standard tests addressing information processing speed and attention (Symbol-Digit Modalities Test, SDMT; Test of Attention Performance, TAP) was examined in relation to resting-state EEG alpha-1 and alpha-2 activity and the theta/beta ratio in 25 MS patients.

Results

Increased global alpha-1 and alpha-2 activity and an increased frontal theta/beta ratio (pronounced slow-wave relative to fast-wave activity) were associated with lower SDMT processing speed. In an exploratory analysis, clinically impaired attention was associated with a significantly increased frontal theta/beta ratio whereas alpha power did not show sensitivity to clinical impairment.

Conclusions

EEG global alpha power and the frontal theta/beta ratio were both associated with attention. The theta/beta ratio involved potential clinical sensitivity.

Significance

Resting-state EEG recordings can be obtained during the routine clinical process. The examined resting-state measures may represent feasible monitoring parameters in MS. This notion should be explored in future intervention studies.  相似文献

Objective

We aimed to investigate neuromodulatory effects of high-frequency left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) and their clinical and cognitive correlates in patients with depression.

Methods

Thirty-one patients diagnosed with depression included in the present study. Resting-state gamma power and theta–gamma coupling (TGC) were calculated before and after a course of rTMS. We explored the relationship among gamma power, TGC, and clinical/cognitive outcomes as measured with the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D17), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST).

Results

Following rTMS, depressed patients demonstrated significant increases of resting gamma power at the F3 and F4 electrode sites and resting TGC at the C3 and T3 electrode sites. Furthermore, the increased gamma power at the F3 electrode site was significantly correlated with improved score on the HAM-D17 and BDI, while the increased TGC at the C3 electrode site was significantly correlated with reduced number of errors on the WCST.

Conclusion

Thus, resting-state gamma power and TGC may represent potential biomarkers of depression associated with therapeutic effects of rTMS.

Significance

Resting-state EEG may provide potential biomarkers related to therapeutic effects of rTMS.  相似文献

Objective

The “dysconnection hypothesis” has been proposed as a core neural basis for schizophrenia. Although growing neuroimaging-based evidence suggests atypical functional connectivity in patients with schizophrenia, the results are inconsistent and the effects of antipsychotic treatment remain elusive.

Methods

We performed resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) in 21 drug-naïve patients with schizophrenia (14 patients were re-evaluated after administration of antipsychotic treatment) and 31 age-matched healthy control subjects. We estimated functional connectivity, using the phase lag index (PLI), which captures the true synchronization of EEG signals.

Results

The patients had reduced functional connectivity of the beta band across frontal regions and of the gamma band throughout the scalp when compared to the control subjects. In the schizophrenia group, symptom severity did not seem associated with functional connectivity. Antipsychotic treatment led to no alterations in functional connectivity.

Conclusions

Synchronous activity within and across brain areas over multiple frequencies reflect the integration of various types of information processing. Our findings of abnormal frequency- and region-specific functional connectivity patterns may provide further insight into the “dysconnection hypothesis” of schizophrenia.

Significance

The PLI may serve as a useful measure for the characterization and understanding of the intrinsic pathophysiological mechanisms of schizophrenia, and as a reliable biomarker for this disease.  相似文献

Objective

Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) has been hypothesized to modulate γ-aminobutyric (GABA) transmission in the human brain. GABA in the motor cortex is highly correlated to measures of automatic motor inhibition that can be obtained in simple response priming paradigms. To test the effects of tVNS on GABA transmission, we measured tVNS-induced alterations in behavioral and electrophysiology during automatic motor inhibition.

Methods

Participants were 16 young, healthy adults (8 female). We combined a subliminal response priming paradigm with tVNS and EEG measurement. In this paradigm, automatic motor inhibition leads to a reversal of the priming effect, a phenomenon referred to as the negative compatibility effect (NCE). We compute the NCE separated by response hands, hypothesizing a modulation of the left-hand NCE. Using EEG we measured readiness potentials, an established electrophysiological index of cortical motor preparation.

Results

As hypothesized, for the ipsilateral hand/contralateral hemisphere, compared to sham stimulation, tVNS increased the NCE and modulated the electrophysiological readiness potentials.

Conclusion

Our results indicate that tVNS is selectively affecting the GABAergic system in the motor system contralateral to the stimulated ear as reflected in a behavioral and electrophysiological modulation.

Significance

We provide first combined behavioral and electrophysiological evidence for direct GABAergic neuromodulation through tVNS.  相似文献

Objectives

We aim to establish that interictal fast ripples (FR; 250–500?Hz) are detectable on scalp EEG, and to investigate their association to epilepsy.

Methods

Scalp EEG recordings of a subset of children with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-associated epilepsy from two large multicenter observational TSC studies were analyzed and compared to control children without epilepsy or any other brain-based diagnoses. FR were identified both by human visual review and compared with semi-automated review utilizing a deep learning-based FR detector.

Results

Seven out of 7 children with TSC-associated epilepsy had scalp FR compared to 0 out of 4 children in the control group (p?=?0.003). The automatic detector has a sensitivity of 98% and false positive rate with average of 11.2 false positives per minute.

Conclusions

Non-invasive detection of interictal scalp FR was feasible, by both visual and semi-automatic detection. Interictal scalp FR occurred exclusively in children with TSC-associated epilepsy and were absent in controls without epilepsy. The proposed detector achieves high sensitivity of FR detection; however, expert review of the results to reduce false positives is advised.

Significance

Interictal FR are detectable on scalp EEG and may potentially serve as a biomarker of epilepsy in children with TSC.  相似文献

Objective

We devise a data-driven framework to assess the level of consciousness in etiologically heterogeneous comatose patients using intrinsic dynamical changes of resting-state Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals.

Methods

EEG signals were collected from 54 comatose patients (GCS???8) and 20 control patients (GCS?>?8). We analyzed the EEG signals using a new technique, termed Intrinsic Network Reactivity Index (INRI), that aims to assess the overall lability of brain dynamics without the use of extrinsic stimulation. The proposed technique uses three sigma EEG events as a trigger for ensuing changes to the directional derivative of signals across the EEG montage.

Results

The INRI had a positive relationship with GCS and was significantly different between various levels of consciousness. In comparison, classical band-limited power analysis did not show any specific patterns correlated to GCS.

Conclusions

These findings suggest that reaching low variance EEG activation patterns becomes progressively harder as the level of consciousness of patients deteriorate, and provide a quantitative index based on passive measurements that characterize this change.

Significance

Our results emphasize the role of intrinsic brain dynamics in assessing the level of consciousness in coma patients and the possibility of employing simple electrophysiological measures to recognize the severity of disorders of consciousness (DOC).  相似文献

Objective

Mental rotation of body parts involves sequential cognitive processes, including visual processing, categorization and the mental rotation process itself. However, how these processes are affected by the amputation of a limb is still unclear.

Methods

Twenty-five right upper-limb amputees and the same number of matched healthy controls participated in a hand mental rotation task. Thirty-two-channel electroencephalography (EEG) was recorded and the event-related potentials (ERPs) were analyzed.

Results

In the early visual processing phase, amputees and controls showed a similar P100. During the categorization phase, the amputees exhibited a decreased N200 compared with controls, and the decline was positively correlated with the time since amputation. In the mental rotation phase, controls had a larger ERP for the right upright hand than for the left upright hand, while amputees had a larger ERP for the left (intact) upright hand than for the right (affected) upright hand.

Conclusions

Early visual processing was not affected by limb amputation. However, the perceptual salience of hand pictures decreased and the intact hand gained more significance in the amputees.

Significance

Event-related potentials had the capability of showing the differences in categorization and mental rotation phases between amputees and controls.  相似文献

Objective

Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (mTLE) is the most common type of focal epilepsy, but often lacks scalp EEG correlates. We ask if hippocampal epileptiform discharges that are characteristic of mTLE are associated with small sharp spikes (SSS) recorded on scalp EEG. SSS are considered benign waveforms, so are not currently used as markers of epilepsy.

Methods

To determine if there is a relationship between SSS and hippocampal discharges, simultaneous scalp and hippocampal depth electrode EEGs were recorded from 27 patients being evaluated for possible mTLE. Scalp EEG waveforms were assessed at the time of hippocampal discharges identified on intracranial hippocampal depth electrodes.

Results

15 of 27 patients had SSS on scalp EEG that were time locked to hippocampal epileptiform discharges measured intracranially. These hippocampal spikes tended to have overlying high frequency oscillations and to co-localize with a seizure onset zone, suggesting that they were pathological discharges.

Conclusions

There is a tight coupling between a subset of pathological hippocampal discharges and SSS.

Significance

SSS can be scalp EEG markers of mTLE rather than normal EEG variants.  相似文献

Objective

This study explored the relationships between resting-state electroencephalogram (RS-EEG) localized activation and two important types of executive functions (EF) to extend the prognostic utilization of RS-EEG in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). Also, the role of central nervous system (CNS) arousal in the relationships was examined.

Methods

Fifty-eight children with AD/HD participated in the study. RS-EEG localized activation was derived from spectral power differences between EEG in eyes-closed and eyes-open conditions. CNS arousal was measured based on alpha band power. Common and everyday EF scores were obtained as EF outcomes.

Results

Frontal delta activation predicted common EF ability and posterior alpha activation predicted everyday EF. A serial mediation analysis found that lower CNS baseline arousal was related to greater arousal and delta activation in series, which in turn related to worse common EF. A follow-up study found that baseline arousal was related to larger interference cost.

Conclusions

RS-EEG is indicative of individual differences in two important types of EF in children with AD/HD. Lower CNS arousal may be a driving force for the poorer common EF performance.

Significance

The current study supports prognostic utilization of RS-EEG and AD/HD models that take resting brain activity into consideration in children with AD/HD.  相似文献

Objective

To assess electroencephalography (EEG) changes during tilt table testing in syncope and other orthostatic syndromes.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed consecutive tilt table studies with simultaneous EEG from April 2014 to May 2016 at our center. All patients had video EEG during tilt table. All patients had at least 10?min of head up tilt unless they had syncope or did not tolerate the study. Video EEG was interpreted by epileptologists.

Results

Eighty-seven patients met the inclusion criteria. Mean age was 45?years, and 55 were women. Seven patients (~8%) had syncope during tilt table, 11 patients (~12%) had significant neurogenic orthostatic hypotension and a separate group of 11 patients (~12%) had significant orthostatic tachycardia. Valsalva responses were abnormal in 7 of the 11 patients with orthostatic hypotension, suggesting an underlying neurogenic orthostatic hypotension. Visually discernable EEG changes were seen in only 3 patients (~43%) who had syncope and in 1 patient (~9%) with orthostatic tachycardia.

Conclusions

Qualitative EEG analysis based on visual inspection during tilt table study revealed abnormalities in less than half the patients with syncope and a very small fraction with orthostatic tachycardia.

Significance

Routine qualitative EEG recording might not be clinically useful during tilt table studies.  相似文献

Objectives

The aim of the study was to compare the EEG findings and haemodynamic parameters of adult male patients while undergoing mask induction with sevoflurane anaesthesia with either controlled hyperventilation (CH) or spontaneous breathing (SB).

Methods

Twenty male patients, aged 23–52 (mean 42) years were anaesthetized randomly with either spontaneous breathing or mild controlled hyperventilation via mask. EEG was recorded using a full 10–20 electrode set.

Results

Anaesthesia induction with high inhaled concentrations of sevoflurane produced several epileptiform and periodic EEG patterns. CH doubled the amount of these EEG patterns compared to SB. Higher heart rate was recorded in the CH group.

Conclusions

We describe a high incidence of paroxysmal EEG activity: epileptiform and generalized periodic discharges (GPDs) during rapid sevoflurane in nitrous oxide-oxygen mask induction in hyperventilated male patients. However these activities have no effect to the heart rate or the mean arterial pressure.

Significance

The monitoring of GPDs and burst suppression patterns during rapid anaesthesia induction with sevoflurane provides possibility to study the effects of volatile anaesthetics in the healthy brain. In order to analyse the different sources of EEG patterns a wide-band multichannel EEG recording is necessary.  相似文献

Objective

To assess the frequency spectrum of the normal waking human eyes-closed EEG while concentrating on a mental task.

Methods

Ten adult normal volunteers listened to a CD encouraging mindfulness for one hour and five minutes while their EEG was recorded on a 128 channel DC based ANT system. The software package BESA Research version 6.1 was used for data analysis. The data were subjected to topographic display, frequency as well as independent component analysis.

Results

Near-DC activity that extended beyond one hour, as well as rhythmic wave durations ranging from about 10 to 35 min, was observed in all subjects. For this task the major topographic distribution was mainly in frontal near midline areas and the inferior portions of the hemispheres.

Conclusions

The study demonstrated that rhythms below the infraslow band, as well as a near-DC component, exist in the normal human EEG. Their significance for health and disease now needs to be explored.

Significance

Since DC-based EEG/MEG systems are already in use by some laboratories, investigators are encouraged to include the exploration of these ultra-slow waves in the review of their data.  相似文献

Objectives

To create a classifier based on electroencephalography (EEG) to identify spinal cord injured (SCI) participants at risk of developing central neuropathic pain (CNP) by comparing them with patients who had already developed pain and with able bodied controls.

Methods

Multichannel EEG was recorded in the relaxed eyes opened and eyes closed states in 10 able bodied participants and 31 subacute SCI participants (11 with CNP, 10 without NP and 10 who later developed pain within 6?months of the EEG recording). Up to nine EEG band power features were classified using linear and non-linear classifiers.

Results

Three classifiers (artificial neural networks ANN, support vector machine SVM and linear discriminant analysis LDA) achieved similar average performances, higher than 85% on a full set of features identifying patients at risk of developing pain and achieved comparably high performance classifying between other groups. With only 10 channels, LDA and ANN achieved 86% and 83% accuracy respectively, identifying patients at risk of developing CNP.

Conclusion

Transferable learning classifier can detect patients at risk of developing CNP. EEG markers of pain appear before its physical symptoms. Simple and complex classifiers have comparable performance.

Significance

Identify patients to receive prophylaxic treatment of CNP.  相似文献

Objectives

The study aimed to investigate and compare the effect of cognitive reserve (CR) on brain activation in healthy controls (HC) and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) patients during 0-back and 1-back tasks measured by event-related potential (ERP).

Methods

The study recorded 85 subjects (39 aMCI patients and 46 their matched controls) with a 64-channel electroencephalogram (EEG). Subjects performed 0- and 1-back tasks.

Results

Compared to HC, aMCI patients showed reduced accuracy, delayed mean correct response time (RT) and decreased P300 amplitude at central-parietal and parietal electrodes. A mediation analysis indicated that higher CR reduced neural inefficiency, which might be associated with better task performance in HC. However, no correlation was detected between CR and neural inefficiency in aMCI patients, whereas higher CR was still related to enhanced accuracy and prolonged RT in aMCI patients.

Conclusions

The present study reported that higher CR could contribute to better task performance via down-regulating neural inefficiency in HC. In addition, higher CR might modulate attention processes in aMCI via a way distinct from that in HC, and eventually result in better task performance.

Significance

The study provided evidence for that improving CR might lower cognitive impairment of healthy elderly and aMCI patients.  相似文献

Objective

To validate the application of an automated neuronal spike classification algorithm, Wave_clus (WC), on interictal epileptiform discharges (IED) obtained from human intracranial EEG (icEEG) data.

Method

Five 10-min segments of icEEG recorded in 5 patients were used. WC and three expert EEG reviewers independently classified one hundred IED events into IED classes or non-IEDs. First, we determined whether WC-human agreement variability falls within inter-reviewer agreement variability by calculating the variation of information for each classifier pair and quantifying the overlap between all WC-reviewer and all reviewer-reviewer pairs. Second, we compared WC and EEG reviewers’ spike identification and individual spike class labels visually and quantitatively.

Results

The overlap between all WC-human pairs and all human pairs was >80% for 3/5 patients and >58% for the other 2 patients demonstrating WC falling within inter-human variation. The average sensitivity of spike marking for WC was 91% and >87% for all three EEG reviewers. Finally, there was a strong visual and quantitative similarity between WC and EEG reviewers.

Conclusions

WC performance is indistinguishable to that of EEG reviewers’ suggesting it could be a valid clinical tool for the assessment of IEDs.

Significance

WC can be used to provide quantitative analysis of epileptic spikes.  相似文献

Objective

To test the diagnostic accuracy of a new automatic algorithm for ictal onset source localization (IOSL) during routine presurgical epilepsy evaluation following STARD (Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy) criteria.

Methods

We included 28 consecutive patients with refractory focal epilepsy (25 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and 3 with extratemporal epilepsy) who underwent resective epilepsy surgery. Ictal EEG patterns were analyzed with a novel automatic IOSL algorithm. IOSL source localizations on a sublobar level were validated by comparison with actual resection sites and seizure free outcome 2?years after surgery.

Results

Sensitivity of IOSL was 92.3% (TLE: 92.3%); specificity 60% (TLE: 50%); positive predictive value 66.7% (TLE: 66.7%); and negative predictive value 90% (TLE: 85.7%). The likelihood ratio was more than ten times higher for concordant IOSL results as compared to discordant results (p?=?0.013).

Conclusions

We demonstrated the clinical feasibility of our IOSL approach yielding reasonable high performance measures on a sublobar level.

Significance

Our IOSL method may contribute to a correct localization of the seizure onset zone in temporal lobe epilepsy and can readily be used in standard epilepsy monitoring settings. Further studies are needed for validation in extratemporal epilepsy.  相似文献

Objective

To evaluate the prognostic value of postoperative EEGs to estimate post anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL) seizure outcome.

Methods

We studied postoperative EEGs in 325 consecutive patients who had minimum five years of post-ATL followup. Interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) present only during sleep were classified as sleep IEDs. We defined favorable final-year outcome as no seizures during the final one year and favorable absolute-postoperative outcome as no seizures during the entire postoperative period.

Results

At mean follow-up of 7.3?±?1.8?years, 281 (86.5%) patients had favorable final-year outcome while 161 (49.5%) had favorable absolute-postoperative outcome. IEDs on three months and one year EEG were associated with unfavorable outcomes while IEDs at 7th day had no association with outcomes. Sleep record increased the yield of IEDs by 30% at each time-point without compromising predictive value. EEG at one year predicted the risk of seizure recurrence on drug withdrawal.

Conclusion

While EEG at three months and at one-year after ATL predicted seizure outcome, EEG at 7th day was not helpful. Sleep record increases the sensitivity of postoperative EEG without compromising specificity.

Significance

Both awake and sleep EEG provide useful information in postoperative period following ATL.  相似文献

Objective

This study investigated sensitivity and false detection rate of a multimodal automatic seizure detection algorithm and the applicability to reduced electrode montages for long-term seizure documentation in epilepsy patients.

Methods

An automatic seizure detection algorithm based on EEG, EMG, and ECG signals was developed. EEG/ECG recordings of 92 patients from two epilepsy monitoring units including 494 seizures were used to assess detection performance. EMG data were extracted by bandpass filtering of EEG signals. Sensitivity and false detection rate were evaluated for each signal modality and for reduced electrode montages.

Results

All focal seizures evolving to bilateral tonic-clonic (BTCS, n = 50) and 89% of focal seizures (FS, n = 139) were detected. Average sensitivity in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients was 94% and 74% in extratemporal lobe epilepsy (XTLE) patients. Overall detection sensitivity was 86%. Average false detection rate was 12.8 false detections in 24 h (FD/24 h) for TLE and 22 FD/24 h in XTLE patients. Utilization of 8 frontal and temporal electrodes reduced average sensitivity from 86% to 81%.

Conclusion

Our automatic multimodal seizure detection algorithm shows high sensitivity with full and reduced electrode montages.

Significance

Evaluation of different signal modalities and electrode montages paces the way for semi-automatic seizure documentation systems.  相似文献
