Abstract
Background Earlier neuroimaging investigations showed that abnormal brain activity in patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) was frequency dependent. However, there is lacking of a comprehensive method to capture the amplitude of multi-frequency bands directly. Here, we used a new method, the power spectrum slope (PSS) to explore abnormal spontaneous activity of brain in patients with AUD. Methods Thirty-three AUD patients and 29 healthy controls (HCs) enrolled in this study. The coefficient b and the power-law slope b' were calculated and compared between two groups. We also used the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to examine the ability of the PSS analysis to distinguish between AUD and HCs. We next examined the correlation between PSS difference in the brain areas and the severity of alcohol dependence. Results Thirty AUD patients and 26 HCs were retained after head motion correction. The two metrics of PSS values increased in the left precentral gyrus in AUD patients. The area under the curve values of PSS differences in the specific brain area were respectively 0.836 and 0.844, with sensitivities of 86.7% and 83.3% and specificities of 73.1% and 76.9%. The Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) and Alcohol drinking scale (ADS) scores were not significantly correlated with the PSS values in the specific brain area. Conclusion As a novel method, the PSS can well detect abnormal local brain activity in the AUD patients and may offer new insights for future fMRI studies.

Pharmacol Biochem Behav 2023; 225:173556. [PMID: 37087059 DOI: 10.1016/j.pbb.2023.173556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 04/14/2023] [Accepted: 04/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/24/2023]
Abstract
Pharmacological effects of ketamine may affect homeostatic sleep regulation via slow wave related mechanisms. In the present study effects of ketamine applied at anesthetic dose (80 mg/kg) were tested on neocortical electric activity for 24 h in freely moving rats. Ketamine effects were compared to changes during control (saline) injections and after 6 h gentle handling sleep deprivation (SD). As circadian factors may mask drug effects, an illumination protocol consisting of short light-dark cycles was applied. Ketamine application induced a short hypnotic stage with characteristic slow cortical rhythm followed by a long-lasting hyperactive waking resulting pharmacological SD. Coherence analysis indicated an increased level of local synchronization in broad local field potential frequency ranges during hyperactive waking but not during natural- or SD-evoked waking. Both slow wave sleep and rapid eye movement sleep were replaced after the termination of the ketamine effect. Our results show that both ketamine-induced hypnotic state and hyperactive waking can induce homeostatic sleep pressure with comparable intensity as 6 h SD, but ketamine-induced waking was different compared to the SD-evoked one. Both types of waking stages were different compared to spontaneous waking but all three types of wakefulness can engage the homeostatic sleep regulating machinery to generate sleep pressure dissipated by subsequent sleep. Current-source density analysis of the slow waves showed that cortical transmembrane currents were stronger during ketamine-induced hypnotic stage compared to both sleep replacement after SD and ketamine application, but intracortical activation patterns showed only quantitative differences. These findings may hold some translational value for human medical ketamine applications aiming the treatment of depression-associated sleep problems, which can be alleviated by the homeostatic sleep effect of the drug without the need for an intact circadian regulation.

The effect of ketamine and D-cycloserine on the high frequency resting EEG spectrum in humans. Psychopharmacology (Berl) 2023; 240:59-75.

Abstract
RATIONALE Preclinical studies indicate that high-frequency oscillations, above 100 Hz (HFO:100-170 Hz), are a potential translatable biomarker for pharmacological studies, with the rapid acting antidepressant ketamine increasing both gamma (40-100 Hz) and HFO. OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of the uncompetitive NMDA antagonist ketamine, and of D-cycloserine (DCS), which acts at the glycine site on NMDA receptors on HFO in humans. METHODS We carried out a partially double-blind, 4-way crossover study in 24 healthy male volunteers. Each participant received an oral tablet and an intravenous infusion on each of four study days. The oral treatment was either DCS (250 mg or 1000 mg) or placebo. The infusion contained 0.5 mg/kg ketamine or saline placebo. The four study conditions were therefore placebo-placebo, 250 mg DCS-placebo, 1000 mg DCS-placebo, or placebo-ketamine. RESULTS Compared with placebo, frontal midline HFO magnitude was increased by ketamine (p = 0.00014) and 1000 mg DCS (p = 0.013). Frontal gamma magnitude was also increased by both these treatments. However, at a midline parietal location, only HFO were increased by DCS, and not gamma, whilst ketamine increased both gamma and HFO at this location. Ketamine induced psychomimetic effects, as measured by the PSI scale, whereas DCS did not increase the total PSI score. The perceptual distortion subscale scores correlated with the posterior low gamma to frontal high beta ratio. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that, at high doses, a partial NMDA agonist (DCS) has similar effects on fast neural oscillations as an NMDA antagonist (ketamine). As HFO were induced without psychomimetic effects, they may prove a useful drug development target.

Abstract
Low dose acute administration of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonist MK-801 is widely used to model cognition impairments associated with schizophrenia (CIAS) in rodents. However, due to no unified standards for animal strain, dose, route of drug delivery, and the duration of administration, how different doses of MK-801 influence behavior and fundamental frequency bands of the local field potential (LFP) in cortical and subcortical brain regions without consistent conclusions. The optimal dose of MK-801 as a valid cognition impairers to model CIAS in C57BL/6J mice remains unclear. The current study characterizes the behavior and neural oscillation alterations induced by different low doses of MK-801 in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus CA1 of C57BL/6J mice. The results reveal that mice treated with 0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg MK-801 demonstrate increased locomotion and diminished prepulse inhibition (PPI), while not when treated with 0.05 mg/kg MK-801. We also find that MK-801 dose as low as 0.05 mg/kg can significantly diminishes spontaneous alteration during the Y-maze test. Additionally, the oscillation power in delta, theta, alpha, gamma and HFO bands of the LFP in mPFC and CA1 was potentiated by different dose levels of MK-801 administration. The current findings revealed that the observed sensitivity against spontaneous alteration impairment and neural oscillation at 0.05 mg/kg MK-801 suggest that 0.05 mg/kg will produce changes in CIAS-relevant behavior without overt changes in locomotion and sensorimotor processing in C57BL/6J mice.

Abstract
The rise of ketamine and brexanolone as rapid antidepressant treatments raises the question of common mechanisms. Both drugs act without the long onset time of traditional antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The drugs also share the interesting feature of benefit that persists beyond the initial drug lifetime. Here, we briefly review literature on functional changes that may mark the triggering mechanism of rapid antidepressant actions. Because ketamine has a longer history of study as a rapid antidepressant, we use this literature as a template to guide hypotheses about common action. Brexanolone has the complication of being a formulation of a naturally occurring neurosteroid; thus, endogenous levels need to be considered when studying the impact of exogenous administration. We conclude that network disinhibition and increased high-frequency oscillations are candidates to mediate acute triggering effects of rapid antidepressants.

Abstract
Purpose: Tension-type headache (TTH), the most prevalent primary headache disorder, imposes an enormous burden on the people of the world. The quest to ease suffering from this neurological disorder has sustained research interest. The present study aimed at evaluating the amplitude of low-frequency oscillations (LFOs) of the brain in multiple frequency bands in patients with TTH. Methods: To address this question, 63 participants were enrolled in the study, including 32 TTH patients and 31 healthy controls (HCs). For all the participants, amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) was measured in six frequency bands (conventional frequency bands, 0.01-0.08 Hz; slow-2, 0.198-0.25 Hz; slow-3, 0.073-0.198 Hz; slow-4, 0.027-0.073 Hz; slow-5, 0.01-0.027 Hz; and slow-6, 0-0.01 Hz), and the differences between TTH patients and HCs were examined. To explore the relationship between the altered ALFF brain regions in the six frequency bands and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score in the TTH patients, Pearson's correlation analysis was performed. Results: In all the six frequency bands, a decreased ALFF value was detected, and regions showing reduced ALFF values were mostly located in the middle frontal gyrus and superior gyrus. A frequency-dependent alternating characterization of intrinsic brain activity was found in the left caudate nucleus in the slow-2 band of 0.198-0.25 Hz and in the right inferior frontal orbital gyrus in the slow-5 band of 0.01-0.027 Hz. For the correlation results, both the left anterior cingulate and paracingulate gyri and right superior parietal gyrus showed a positive correlation with the VAS score in the slow-4 frequency band of 0.027-0.073 Hz. Conclusion: The ALFF alterations in the brain regions of TTH patients are involved in pain processing. The altered LFOs in the multiple regions may help promote the understanding of the pathophysiology of TTH. These observations could also allow the future treatment of TTH to be more directional and targeted and could promote the development of TTH treatment.

Abstract
KEY POINTS Ketamine is a common anaesthetic agent used in research and more recently as medication in treatment of depression. It has known effects on inhibition of interneurons and cortical stimulus-locked responses, but the underlying functional network mechanisms are still elusive. Analysing population activity across all layers within the auditory cortex, we found that doses of this anaesthetic induce a stronger activation and stimulus-locked response to pure-tone stimuli. This cortical response is driven by gain enhancement of thalamocortical input processing selectively within granular layers due to an increased recurrent excitation. Time-frequency analysis indicates a higher broadband magnitude response and prolonged phase coherence in granular layers, possibly pointing to disinhibition of this recurrent excitation. These results further the understanding of ketamine's functional mechanisms, which will improve the ability to interpret physiological studies moving from anaesthetized to awake paradigms and may lead to the development of better ketamine-based depression treatments with lower side effects. ABSTRACT Ketamine is commonly used as an anaesthetic agent and has more recently gained attention as an antidepressant. It has been linked to increased stimulus-locked excitability, inhibition of interneurons and modulation of intrinsic neuronal oscillations. However, the functional network mechanisms are still elusive. A better understanding of these anaesthetic network effects may improve upon previous interpretations of seminal studies conducted under anaesthesia and have widespread relevance for neuroscience with awake and anaesthetized subjects as well as in medicine. Here, we investigated the effects of anaesthetic doses of ketamine (15 mg kg-1 h-1 i.p.) on the network activity after pure-tone stimulation within the auditory cortex of male Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). We used laminar current source density (CSD) analysis and subsequent layer-specific continuous wavelet analysis to investigate spatiotemporal response dynamics on cortical columnar processing in awake and ketamine-anaesthetized animals. We found thalamocortical input processing within granular layers III/IV to be significantly increased under ketamine. This layer-dependent gain enhancement under ketamine was not due to changes in cross-trial phase coherence but was rather attributed to a broadband increase in magnitude reflecting an increase in recurrent excitation. A time-frequency analysis was indicative of a prolonged period of stimulus-induced excitation possibly due to a reduced coupling of excitation and inhibition in granular input circuits - in line with the common hypothesis of cortical disinhibition via suppression of GABAergic interneurons.

Abstract
Gamma frequency oscillations (γ, 30–100 Hz) have been suggested to underlie various cognitive and motor functions. The psychotomimetic drug methamphetamine (MA) enhances brain γ oscillations associated with changes in psychomotor state. Little is known about the cellular mechanisms of MA modulation on γ oscillations. We explored the effects of multiple intracellular kinases on MA modulation of γ induced by kainate in area CA3 of rat ventral hippocampal slices. We found that dopamine receptor type 1 and 2 (DR1 and DR2) antagonists, the serine/threonine kinase PKB/Akt inhibitor and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) antagonists prevented the enhancing effect of MA on γ oscillations, whereas none of them affected baseline γ strength. Protein kinase A, phosphoinositide 3-kinase and extracellular signal-related kinases inhibitors had no effect on MA. We propose that the DR1/DR2-Akt-NMDAR pathway plays a critical role for the MA enhancement of γ oscillations. Our study provides an new insight into the mechanisms of acute MA on MA-induced psychosis.
