RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) who receive either asleep image-guided subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (DBS) or the traditional awake technique have comparable motor outcomes. However, there are fewer studies regarding which technique should be chosen for globus pallidus internus (GPi) DBS. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to compare the accuracy of lead placement and motor outcomes of asleep versus awake GPi DBS PD population. METHODS: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane for studies comparing asleep vs. awake GPi DBS lead placement in patients with PD. Outcomes were spatial accuracy of lead placement, measured by radial error between intended and actual location, motor improvement measured using (UPDRS III), and postoperative stimulation parameters. Statistical analysis was performed with Review Manager 5.1.7. and OpenMeta [Analyst]. RESULTS: Three studies met inclusion criteria with a total of 247 patients. Asleep DBS was used to treat 192 (77.7 %) patients. Follow-up ranged from 6 to 48 months. Radial error was not statistically different between groups (MD -0.49 mm; 95 % CI -1.0 to 0.02; I2 = 86 %; p = 0.06), with a tendency for higher target accuracy with the asleep technique. There was no significant difference between groups in change on motor function, as measured by UPDRS III, from pre- to postoperative (MD 8.30 %; 95 % CI -4.78 to 21.37; I2 = 67 %, p = 0.2). There was a significant difference in postoperative stimulation voltage, with the asleep group requiring less voltage than the awake group (MD -0.27 V; 95 % CI -0.46 to - 0.08; I2 = 0 %; p = 0.006). CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis indicates that asleep image-guided GPi DBS presents a statistical tendency suggesting superior target accuracy when compared with the awake standard technique. Differences in change in motor function were not statistically significant between groups.

RESUMEN

Drug addiction represents a multifaceted and recurrent brain disorder that possesses the capability to create persistent and ineradicable pathological memory. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has shown a therapeutic potential for neuropsychological disorders, while the precise stimulation targets and therapeutic parameters for addiction remain deficient. Among the crucial brain regions implicated in drug addiction, the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) has been found to exert an essential role in the manifestation of addiction memory. Thus, we investigated the effects of DRN DBS in the treatment of addiction and whether it might produce side effects by a series of behavioral assessments, including methamphetamine priming-induced reinstatement of drug seeking behaviors, food-induced conditioned place preference (CPP), open field test and elevated plus-maze test, and examined brain activity and connectivity after DBS of DRN. We found that high-frequency DBS of the DRN significantly lowered the CPP scores and the number of active-nosepokes in the methamphetamine-primed CPP test and the self-administration model. Moreover, both high-frequency and sham DBS group rats were able to establish significant food-induced place preference, and no significant difference was observed in the open field test and in the elevated plus-maze test between the two groups. Immunofluorescence staining and functional magnetic resonance imaging revealed that high-frequency DBS of the DRN could alter the activity and functional connectivity of brain regions related to addiction. These results indicate that high-frequency DBS of the DRN effectively inhibits methamphetamine priming-induced relapse and seeking behaviors in rats and provides a new target for the treatment of drug addiction.

RESUMEN

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) modulates local and widespread connectivity in dysfunctional networks. Positive results are observed in several patient populations; however, the precise mechanisms underlying treatment remain unknown. Translational DBS studies aim to answer these questions and provide knowledge for advancing the field. Here, we systematically review the literature on DBS studies involving models of neurological, developmental and neuropsychiatric disorders to provide a synthesis of the current scientific landscape surrounding this topic. A systematic analysis of the literature was performed following PRISMA guidelines. 407 original articles were included. Data extraction focused on study characteristics, including stimulation protocol, behavioural outcomes, and mechanisms of action. The number of articles published increased over the years, including 16 rat models and 13 mouse models of transgenic or healthy animals exposed to external factors to induce symptoms. Most studies targeted telencephalic structures with varying stimulation settings. Positive behavioural outcomes were reported in 85.8% of the included studies. In models of psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, DBS-induced effects were associated with changes in monoamines and neuronal activity along the mesocorticolimbic circuit. For movement disorders, DBS improves symptoms via modulation of the striatal dopaminergic system. In dementia and epilepsy models, changes to cellular and molecular aspects of the hippocampus were shown to underlie symptom improvement. Despite limitations in translating findings from preclinical to clinical settings, rodent studies have contributed substantially to our current knowledge of the pathophysiology of disease and DBS mechanisms. Direct inhibition/excitation of neural activity, whereby DBS modulates pathological oscillatory activity within brain networks, is among the major theories of its mechanism. However, there remain fundamental questions on mechanisms, optimal targets and parameters that need to be better understood to improve this therapy and provide more individualized treatment according to the patient's predominant symptoms.

RESUMEN

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) produces an electrophysiological signature called evoked resonant neural activity (ERNA); a high-frequency oscillation that has been linked to treatment efficacy. However, the single-neuron and synaptic bases of ERNA are unsubstantiated. This study proposes that ERNA is a subcortical neuronal circuit signature of DBS-mediated engagement of the basal ganglia indirect pathway network. In people with Parkinson's disease, we: (i) showed that each peak of the ERNA waveform is associated with temporally-locked neuronal inhibition in the STN; (ii) characterized the temporal dynamics of ERNA; (iii) identified a putative mesocircuit architecture, embedded with empirically-derived synaptic dynamics, that is necessary for the emergence of ERNA in silico; (iv) localized ERNA to the dorsal STN in electrophysiological and normative anatomical space; (v) used patient-wise hotspot locations to assess spatial relevance of ERNA with respect to DBS outcome; and (vi) characterized the local fiber activation profile associated with the derived group-level ERNA hotspot.

RESUMEN

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is recognized as an established therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) and other movement disorders in the light of the developments seen over the past three decades. Long-term efficacy is established for PD with documented improvement in the cardinal motor symptoms of PD and levodopa-induced complications, such as motor fluctuations and dyskinesias. Timing of patient selection is crucial to obtain optimal benefits from DBS therapy, before PD complications become irreversible. The objective of this first part review is to examine the fundamental concepts of DBS for PD in clinical practice, discussing the historical aspects, patient selection, potential effects of DBS on motor and non-motor symptoms, and the practical management of patients after surgery.


Nas últimas três décadas, a estimulação cerebral profunda (ECP) se tornou um tratamento bem estabelecido para doença de Parkinson (DP) e outros transtornos do movimento. A eficácia a longo prazo na DP foi bem documentada para a melhora dos sintomas motores cardinais da DP e das complicações induzidas pelo uso do levodopa, como as flutuações motoras e as discinesias. O momento da seleção do paciente é crucial para se obter os benefícios ideais da ECP, antes que as complicações da DP se tornem irreversíveis. O objetivo desta primeira parte da revisão é examinar os conceitos fundamentais da ECP na prática clínica, discutindo os aspectos históricos, a seleção de pacientes, os potenciais efeitos da ECP nos sintomas motores e não motores da doença e o manejo prático dos pacientes após a cirurgia.

RESUMEN

Objective.This study aims to characterize the time course of impedance, a crucial electrophysiological property of brain tissue, in the human thalamus (THL), amygdala-hippocampus, and posterior hippocampus over an extended period.Approach.Impedance was periodically sampled every 5-15 min over several months in five subjects with drug-resistant epilepsy using an investigational neuromodulation device. Initially, we employed descriptive piecewise and continuous mathematical models to characterize the impedance response for approximately three weeks post-electrode implantation. We then explored the temporal dynamics of impedance during periods when electrical stimulation was temporarily halted, observing a monotonic increase (rebound) in impedance before it stabilized at a higher value. Lastly, we assessed the stability of amplitude and phase over the 24 h impedance cycle throughout the multi-month recording.Main results.Immediately post-implantation, the impedance decreased, reaching a minimum value in all brain regions within approximately two days, and then increased monotonically over about 14 d to a stable value. The models accounted for the variance in short-term impedance changes. Notably, the minimum impedance of the THL in the most epileptogenic hemisphere was significantly lower than in other regions. During the gaps in electrical stimulation, the impedance rebound decreased over time and stabilized around 200 days post-implant, likely indicative of the foreign body response and fibrous tissue encapsulation around the electrodes. The amplitude and phase of the 24 h impedance oscillation remained stable throughout the multi-month recording, with circadian variation in impedance dominating the long-term measures.Significance.Our findings illustrate the complex temporal dynamics of impedance in implanted electrodes and the impact of electrical stimulation. We discuss these dynamics in the context of the known biological foreign body response of the brain to implanted electrodes. The data suggest that the temporal dynamics of impedance are dependent on the anatomical location and tissue epileptogenicity. These insights may offer additional guidance for the delivery of therapeutic stimulation at various time points post-implantation for neuromodulation therapy.

RESUMEN

AIMS: The open-loop nature of conventional deep brain stimulation (DBS) produces continuous and excessive stimulation to patients which contributes largely to increased prevalence of adverse side effects. Cerebellar ataxia is characterized by abnormal Purkinje cells (PCs) dendritic arborization, loss of PCs and motor coordination, and muscle weakness with no effective treatment. We aim to develop a real-time field-programmable gate array (FPGA) prototype targeting the deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN) to close the loop for ataxia using conditional double knockout mice with deletion of PC-specific LIM homeobox (Lhx)1 and Lhx5, resulting in abnormal dendritic arborization and motor deficits. METHODS: We implanted multielectrode array in the DCN and muscles of ataxia mice. The beneficial effect of open-loop DCN-DBS or closed-loop DCN-DBS was compared by motor behavioral assessments, electromyography (EMG), and neural activities (neurospike and electroencephalogram) in freely moving mice. FPGA board, which performed complex real-time computation, was used for closed-loop DCN-DBS system. RESULTS: Closed-loop DCN-DBS was triggered only when symptomatic muscle EMG was detected in a real-time manner, which restored motor activities, electroencephalogram activities and neurospike properties completely in ataxia mice. Closed-loop DCN-DBS was more effective than an open-loop paradigm as it reduced the frequency of DBS. CONCLUSION: Our real-time FPGA-based DCN-DBS system could be a potential clinical strategy for alleviating cerebellar ataxia and other movement disorders.

RESUMEN

Temporal interference (TI) stimulation, a novel non-invasive stimulation strategy, has recently been shown to modulate neural activity in deep brain regions of living mice. Yet, it is uncertain if this method is applicable to larger brains and whether the electric field produced under traditional safety currents can penetrate deep regions as observed in mice. Despite recent model-based simulation studies offering positive evidence at both macro- and micro-scale levels, the absence of electrophysiological data from actual brains hinders comprehensive understanding and potential application of TI. This study aims to directly measure the spatiotemporal properties of the interfered electric field in the rhesus monkey brain and to validate the effects of TI on the human brain. Two monkeys were involved in the measurement, with implantation of several stereo-electroencephalography (SEEG) depth electrodes. TI stimulation was applied to anesthetized monkeys using two pairs of surface electrodes at differing stimulation parameters. Model-based simulations were also conducted and subsequently compared with actual recordings. Additionally, TI stimulation was administered to patients with motor disorders to validate its effects on motor symptoms. Through the integration of computational electric field simulation with empirical measurements, it was determined that the temporally interfering electric fields in the deep central regions are capable of attaining a magnitude sufficient to induce a subthreshold modulation effect on neural signals. Additionally, an improvement in movement disorders was observed as a result of TI stimulation. This study is the first to systematically measure the TI electric field in living non-human primates, offering empirical evidence that TI holds promise as a more focal and precise method for modulating neural activities in deep regions of a large brain. This advancement paves the way for future applications of TI in treating neuropsychiatric disorders.

RESUMEN

Subcallosal cingulate (SCC) deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an emerging therapy for refractory depression. Good clinical outcomes are associated with the activation of white matter adjacent to the SCC. This activation produces a signature cortical evoked potential (EP), but it is unclear which of the many pathways in the vicinity of SCC is responsible for driving this response. Individualized biophysical models were built to achieve selective engagement of two target bundles: either the forceps minor (FM) or cingulum bundle (CB). Unilateral 2 Hz stimulation was performed in seven patients with treatment-resistant depression who responded to SCC DBS, and EPs were recorded using 256-sensor scalp electroencephalography. Two distinct EPs were observed: a 120 ms symmetric response spanning both hemispheres and a 60 ms asymmetrical EP. Activation of FM correlated with the symmetrical EPs, while activation of CB was correlated with the asymmetrical EPs. These results support prior model predictions that these two pathways are predominantly activated by clinical SCC DBS and provide first evidence of a link between cortical EPs and selective fiber bundle activation.

RESUMEN

Closed-loop neuronal stimulation has a strong therapeutic potential for neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease. However, at the moment, standard stimulation protocols rely on continuous open-loop stimulation and the design of adaptive controllers is an active field of research. Delayed feedback control (DFC), a popular method used to control chaotic systems, has been proposed as a closed-loop technique for desynchronisation of neuronal populations but, so far, was only tested in computational studies. We implement DFC for the first time in neuronal populations and access its efficacy in disrupting unwanted neuronal oscillations. To analyse in detail the performance of this activity control algorithm, we used specialised in vitro platforms with high spatiotemporal monitoring/stimulating capabilities. We show that the conventional DFC in fact worsens the neuronal population oscillatory behaviour, which was never reported before. Conversely, we present an improved control algorithm, adaptive DFC (aDFC), which monitors the ongoing oscillation periodicity and self-tunes accordingly. aDFC effectively disrupts collective neuronal oscillations restoring a more physiological state. Overall, these results support aDFC as a better candidate for therapeutic closed-loop brain stimulation.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) requires a consistent electrical supply from the implantable pulse generator (IPG). Patients may struggle to monitor their IPG, risking severe complications in battery failure. This review assesses current literature on DBS IPG battery life management and proposes a protocol for healthcare providers. METHODS: A literature search using four databases identified best practices for DBS IPG management. Studies were appraised for IPG management guidelines, categorized as qualitative, quantitative, or both. RESULTS: Of 408 citations, only seven studies were eligible, none providing clear patient management strategies. Current guidelines lack specificity, relying on clinician suggestions. CONCLUSION: Limited guidelines exist for IPG management. Specificity and adaptability to emerging technology are crucial. The findings highlight the need for specificity in patients' needs and adaptability to emerging technology in future studies. To address this need, we developed a protocol for DBS IPG management that we have implemented at our own institution. Further research is needed for effective DBS IPG battery life management, preventing therapy cessation complications.

RESUMEN

Analysis of coupling between the phases and amplitudes of neural oscillations has gained increasing attention as an important mechanism for large-scale brain network dynamics. In Parkinson's disease (PD), preliminary evidence indicates abnormal beta-phase coupling to gamma-amplitude in different brain areas, including the subthalamic nucleus (STN). We analyzed bilateral STN local field potentials (LFPs) in eight subjects with PD chronically implanted with deep brain stimulation electrodes during upright quiet standing and unperturbed walking. Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) was computed using the Kullback-Liebler method, based on the modulation index. Neurophysiological recordings were correlated with clinical and kinematic measurements and individual molecular brain imaging studies ([123I]FP-CIT and single-photon emission computed tomography). We showed a dopamine-related increase in subthalamic beta-gamma PAC from standing to walking. Patients with poor PAC modulation and low PAC during walking spent significantly more time in the stance and double support phase of the gait cycle. Our results provide new insights into the subthalamic contribution to human gait and suggest cross-frequency coupling as a gateway mechanism to convey patient-specific information of motor control for human locomotion.

RESUMEN

To report the results of 'responsive' deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Tourette syndrome (TS) in a National Institutes of Health funded experimental cohort. The use of 'brain derived physiology' as a method to trigger DBS devices to deliver trains of electrical stimulation is a proposed approach to address the paroxysmal motor and vocal tic symptoms which appear as part of TS. Ten subjects underwent bilateral staged DBS surgery and each was implanted with bilateral centromedian thalamic (CM) region DBS leads and bilateral M1 region cortical strips. A series of identical experiments and data collections were conducted on three groups of consecutively recruited subjects. Group 1 (n = 2) underwent acute responsive DBS using deep and superficial leads. Group 2 (n = 4) underwent chronic responsive DBS using deep and superficial leads. Group 3 (n = 4) underwent responsive DBS using only the deep leads. The primary outcome measure for each of the 8 subjects with chronic responsive DBS was calculated as the pre-operative baseline Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS) motor subscore compared to the 6 month embedded responsive DBS setting. A responder for the study was defined as any subject manifesting a ≥ 30 points improvement on the YGTSS motor subscale. The videotaped Modified Rush Tic Rating Scale (MRVTRS) was a secondary outcome. Outcomes were collected at 6 months across three different device states: no stimulation, conventional open-loop stimulation, and embedded responsive stimulation. The experience programming each of the groups and the methods applied for programming were captured. There were 10 medication refractory TS subjects enrolled in the study (5 male and 5 female) and 4/8 (50%) in the chronic responsive eligible cohort met the primary outcome manifesting a reduction of the YGTSS motor scale of ≥ 30% when on responsive DBS settings. Proof of concept for the use of responsive stimulation was observed in all three groups (acute responsive, cortically triggered and deep DBS leads only). The responsive approach was safe and well tolerated. TS power spectral changes associated with tics occurred consistently in the low frequency 2-10 Hz delta-theta-low alpha oscillation range. The study highlighted the variety of programming strategies which were employed to achieve responsive DBS and those used to overcome stimulation induced artifacts. Proof of concept was also established for a single DBS lead triggering bi-hemispheric delivery of therapeutic stimulation. Responsive DBS was applied to treat TS related motor and vocal tics through the application of three different experimental paradigms. The approach was safe and effective in a subset of individuals. The use of different devices in this study was not aimed at making between device comparisons, but rather, the study was adapted to the current state of the art in technology. Overall, four of the chronic responsive eligible subjects met the primary outcome variable for clinical effectiveness. Cortical physiology was used to trigger responsive DBS when therapy was limited by stimulation induced artifacts.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), applying chronic electrical stimulation of subcortical structures, is a clinical intervention applied in major neurologic disorders. In order to achieve a good clinical effect, accurate electrode placement is necessary. The primary localisation is typically based on presurgical MRI imaging, often followed by intra-operative electrophysiology recording to increase the accuracy and to compensate for brain shift, especially in cases where the surgical target is small, and there is low contrast: e.g., in Parkinson's disease (PD) and in its common target, the subthalamic nucleus (STN). METHODS: We propose a novel, fully automatic method for intra-operative surgical navigation. First, the surgical target is segmented in presurgical MRI images using a statistical shape-intensity model. Next, automated alignment with intra-operatively recorded microelectrode recordings is performed using a probabilistic model of STN electrophysiology. We apply the method to a dataset of 120 PD patients with clinical T2 1.5T images, of which 48 also had available microelectrode recordings (MER). RESULTS: The proposed segmentation method achieved STN segmentation accuracy around dice = 0.60 compared to manual segmentation. This is comparable to the state-of-the-art on low-resolution clinical MRI data. When combined with electrophysiology-based alignment, we achieved an accuracy of 0.85 for correctly including recording sites of STN-labelled MERs in the final STN volume. CONCLUSION: The proposed method combines image-based segmentation of the subthalamic nucleus with microelectrode recordings to estimate their mutual location during the surgery in a fully automated process. Apart from its potential use in clinical targeting, the method can be used to map electrophysiological properties to specific parts of the basal ganglia structures and their vicinity.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: In Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, verbal suggestions have been shown to modulate motor and clinical outcomes in treatment with subthalamic deep brain stimulation (DBS). Furthermore, DBS may alleviate pain in PD. However, it is unknown if verbal suggestions influence DBS' effects on pain. METHODS: Twenty-four people with PD and DBS had stimulation downregulated (80-60 to 20%) and upregulated (from 20-60 to 80%) in a blinded manner on randomized test days: (1) with negative and positive suggestions of pain for down- and upregulation, respectively, and (2) with no suggestions to effect (control). Effects of DBS and verbal suggestions were assessed on ongoing and evoked pain (hypertonic saline injections) via 0-10 numerical rating scales along with motor symptoms, expectations, and blinding. RESULTS: Stimulation did not influence ongoing and evoked pain but influenced motor symptoms in the expected direction. Baseline and experimental pain measures showed no patterns in degree of pain. There was a trend toward negative suggestions increasing pain and positive suggestions decreasing pain. Results show significant differences in identical stimulation with negative vs positive suggestions (60% conditions AUC 38.75 vs 23.32, t(13) = 3.10, p < 0.001). Expectations to pain had small to moderate effects on evoked pain. Patients estimated stimulation level correctly within 10 points. CONCLUSION: Stimulation does not seem to influence ongoing and evoked pain, but verbal suggestions may influence pain levels. Patients appear to be unblinded to stimulation level which is an important consideration for future studies testing DBS in an attempted blind fashion.

RESUMEN

Closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) shows great potential for precise neuromodulation of various neurological disorders, particularly Parkinson's disease (PD). However, substantial challenges remain in clinical translation due to the complex programming procedure of closed-loop DBS parameters. In this study, we proposed an online optimized amplitude adaptive strategy based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller for modulation of the beta oscillation in a PD mean field model over long-term dynamic conditions. The strategy aimed to calculate the stimulation amplitude adapting to the fluctuations caused by circadian rhythm, medication rhythm, and stochasticity in the basal ganglia-thalamus-cortical circuit. The PID gains were optimized online using PSO, based on modulation accuracy, mean stimulation amplitude, and stimulation variation. The results showed that the proposed strategy optimized the stimulation amplitude and achieved beta power modulation under the influence of circadian rhythm, medication rhythm, and stochasticity of beta oscillations. This work offers a novel approach for precise neuromodulation with the potential for clinical translation.
