ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
We examined low-frequency amplitude modulations of band power time-series, i.e. the second spectrum, of the intracranial EEG (icEEG) for evidence of support for spatial relationships between different parts of the brain and within the default mode network (DMN).METHODS:
We estimated magnitude-squared coherence (MSC) of the running power in the delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma frequency bands for one-hour background icEEG epochs recorded from 9 patients. We isolated two test areas within the DMN and one control area outside it. We tested if the relationship between DMN areas was stronger than the relationship between each of these areas and the control location, and between all intrahemispheric contact pairs with similar intercontact distance.RESULTS:
We observed very low values of second spectrum relationship between different parts of the brain, except at very short distances. These relationships are strongest in the delta band and decrease with increasing frequency, with gamma band relationships being the weakest. Our DMN-specific analysis showed no enhanced connectivity in the second spectrum in DMN locations in any frequency band.CONCLUSIONS:
Though we observed significantly nonzero relationships in lower frequency bands, second spectrum relationships are consistently very low across the entire brain in every frequency band.SIGNIFICANCE:
This study suggests a lack of support for the DMN in the icEEG second spectrum.Palavras-chave
