ABSTRACT
Large-scale human brain networks interact across both spatial and temporal scales. Especially for electro- and magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG), there are many evidences that there is a synergy of different subnetworks that oscillate on a dominant frequency within a quasi-stable brain temporal frame. Intrinsic cortical-level integration reflects the reorganization of functional brain networks that support a compensation mechanism for cognitive decline. Here, a computerized intervention integrating different functions of the medial temporal lobes, namely, object-level and scene-level representations, was conducted. One hundred fifty-eight patients with mild cognitive impairment underwent 90 min of training per day over 10 weeks. An active control (AC) group of 50 subjects was exposed to documentaries, and a passive control group of 55 subjects did not engage in any activity. Following a dynamic functional source connectivity analysis, the dynamic reconfiguration of intra- and cross-frequency coupling mechanisms before and after the intervention was revealed. After the neuropsychological and resting state electroencephalography evaluation, the ratio of inter versus intra-frequency coupling modes and also the contribution of ß1 frequency was higher for the target group compared to its pre-intervention period. These frequency-dependent contributions were linked to neuropsychological estimates that were improved due to intervention. Additionally, the time-delays of the cortical interactions were improved in {δ, θ, α2, ß1} compared to the pre-intervention period. Finally, dynamic networks of the target group further improved their efficiency over the total cost of the network. This is the first study that revealed a dynamic reconfiguration of intrinsic coupling modes and an improvement of time-delays due to a target intervention protocol.
