ABSTRACT
Temporal lobe epilepsy is a common neurological disease characterized by recurrent seizures. These seizures often originate from limbic networks and people also experience chronic comorbidities related to memory, mood, and sleep (MMS). Deep brain stimulation targeting the anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT-DBS) is a proven therapy, but the optimal stimulation parameters remain unclear. We developed a neurotechnology platform for tracking seizures and MMS to enable data streaming between an investigational brain sensing-stimulation implant, mobile devices, and a cloud environment. Artificial Intelligence algorithms provided accurate catalogs of seizures, interictal epileptiform spikes, and wake-sleep brain states. Remotely administered memory and mood assessments were used to densely sample cognitive and behavioral response during ANT-DBS. We evaluated the efficacy of low-frequency versus high-frequency ANT-DBS. They both reduced seizures, but low-frequency ANT-DBS showed greater reductions and better sleep and memory. These results highlight the potential of synchronized brain sensing and behavioral tracking for optimizing neuromodulation therapy.
