Cerebellum's Contribution to Attention, Executive Functions and Timing: Psychophysiological Evidence from Event-Related Potentials. Brain Sci 2023; 13:1683. [PMID: 38137131 PMCID: PMC10741792 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci13121683] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Since 1998, when Schmahmann first proposed the concept of the "cognitive affective syndrome" that linked cerebellar damage to cognitive and emotional impairments, a substantial body of literature has emerged. Anatomical, neurophysiological, and functional neuroimaging data suggest that the cerebellum contributes to cognitive functions through specific cerebral-cerebellar connections organized in a series of parallel loops. The aim of this paper is to review the current findings on the involvement of the cerebellum in selective cognitive functions, using a psychophysiological perspective with event-related potentials (ERPs), alone or in combination with non-invasive brain stimulation techniques. ERPs represent a very informative method of monitoring cognitive functioning online and have the potential to serve as valuable biomarkers of brain dysfunction that is undetected by other traditional clinical tools. This review will focus on the data on attention, executive functions, and time processing obtained in healthy subjects and patients with varying clinical conditions, thus confirming the role of ERPs in understanding the role of the cerebellum in cognition and exploring the potential diagnostic and therapeutic implications of ERP-based assessments in patients.

A Novel Craniocervical Junction Compression Severity Index-Based Grading System for Multidirectional Quantification of the Biomechanics at Foramen Magnum of Chiari Malformation Type I. J Neurol Surg B Skull Base 2023; 84:616-628. [PMID: 37854538 PMCID: PMC10581831 DOI: 10.1055/a-1932-8692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 10/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to establish a novel grading system, based on the craniovertebral junction compression severity index (CVJCSI) for multidirectional quantification at the foramen magnum plane for Chiari malformation type I (CMI). Methods The CVJCSI grading system was established to stratify patients based on the ventral (modified clivoaxial angle < 138°), dorsal (tonsil herniation), and central (brainstem herniation) CVJ (craniovertebral junction) compression, the CVJCSI grading system was established to stratify patients. The optimal surgical method for each grade was recommended by intragroup comparisons regarding the efficacy of the three operations. Finally, according to the CVJCSI grading system, a prospective validation trial was performed and surgically treated for internal validation. Results Based on the retrospective study ( n = 310), the CVJCSI included six grades: I: syrinx alone without compression; II: dorsal compression; III: dorsal and central compression; IV: ventral compression; V: dorsal and ventral compression; and VI: ventral, dorsal, and central compression. Among all available variables, only the CVJCSI and surgical methods significantly affected the CCOS. The CCOS scores, overall and for each CVJCSI grade, increased in the prospective cohort ( n = 42) compared with that in the retrospective analysis. Conclusions The CVJCSI can be used to stratify CMI patients. The higher the CVJCSI grade, the more severe the CVJ compression and the worse posterior fossa deformity. Meanwhile, the CVJCSI was negatively correlated with the CCOS. The lower the CVJCSI grade, the better the response to surgery, and the less-invasive surgical procedures were warranted. Finally, the prospective cohort study validated the proposed CVJCSI-based surgical protocols.

Abstract
Chiari malformation has been classified as a group of posterior cranial fossa disorders characterized by hindbrain herniation. Chiari malformation type I (CM-I) is the most common subtype, ranging from asymptomatic patients to those with severe disorders. Research about clinical manifestations or medical treatments is still growing, but cognitive functioning has been less explored. The aim of this systematic review is to update the literature search about cognitive deficits in CM-I patients. A literature search was performed through the following electronic databases: MEDLINE, PsychINFO, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science. The date last searched was February 1, 2023. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (a) include pediatric or adult participants with a CM-I diagnosis, (b) include cognitive or neuropsychological assessment with standardized tests, (c) be published in English or Spanish, and (d) be empirical studies. Articles that did not report empirical data, textbooks and conference abstracts were excluded. After the screening, twenty-eight articles were included in this systematic review. From those, twenty-one articles were focused on adult samples and seven included pediatric patients. There is a great heterogeneity in the recruited samples, followed methodology and administered neurocognitive protocols. Cognitive functioning appears to be affected in CM-I patients, at least some aspects of attention, executive functions, visuospatial abilities, episodic memory, or processing speed. However, these results require careful interpretation due to the methodological limitations of the studies. Although it is difficult to draw a clear profile of cognitive deficits related to CM-I, the literature suggests that cognitive dysfunction may be a symptom of CM-I. This suggest that clinicians should include cognitive assessment in their diagnostic procedures used for CM-I. In summary, further research is needed to determine a well-defined cognitive profile related to CM-I, favoring a multidisciplinary approach of this disorder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with Korsakoff syndrome (KS) may have a diminished pain perception. Information on KS and pain is scarce and limited to case descriptions. The present study is the first to investigate the underlying neural mechanisms of altered pain perception in patients with KS more systematically. METHODS We conducted a literature search on neural correlates of pain perception in other neurocognitive disorders in which extensive research was done. RESULTS The brain areas that are affected in KS showed considerable overlap with the neural correlates of pain perception in other neurocognitive disorders. We discussed which different aspects of disturbed pain perception could play a role within KS, based on distinct neural damage and brain areas involved in pain perception. CONCLUSIONS Combining current knowledge, we hypothesize that diminished pain perception in KS may be related to lesioned neural connections between cerebral cortical networks and relays of mainly the thalamus, the periaqueductal gray, and possibly lower brain stem regions projecting to the cerebellum. Based on these neural correlates of altered pain perception, we assume that increased pain thresholds, inhibition of pain signals, and disturbed input to cerebral and cerebellar cortical areas involved in pain processing, all are candidate mechanisms in cases of diminished pain perception in KS. We recommend that clinicians need to be alert for somatic morbidity in patients with KS. Due to altered neural processing of nociceptive input the clinical symptoms of somatic morbidity may present differently (i.e. limited pain responses) and therefore are at risk of being missed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chiari Malformation Type I (CM-I) is defined as cerebellar tonsil displacement more than 5 mm below the foramen magnum. This displacement can alter cerebrospinal fluid flow at the cervicomedullary junction resulting in Valsalva-induced headaches and syringomyelia and compress the brainstem resulting in bulbar symptoms. However, little is known about cognitive and psychological changes in CM-I. OBJECTIVE To prospectively assess cognitive and psychological performance in CM-I and determine whether changes occur after surgical decompression. METHODS Blinded evaluators assessed symptomatic CM-I patients ages ≥18 with a battery of neuropsychological and psychological tests. Testing was conducted preoperatively and 6 to 18 mo postoperatively. Data were converted to Z-scores based on normative data, and t-tests were used to analyze pre-post changes. RESULTS A total of 26 patients were included, with 19 completing both pre- and post-op cognitive assessments. All patients had resolution of Valsalva-induced headaches and there was improvement in swallowing dysfunction (P < .0001), ataxia (P = .008), and sleep apnea (P = .021). Baseline performances in visual perception and construction (z = -1.11, P = .001) and visuospatial memory (z = -0.93, P = .002) were below average. Pre-post comparisons showed that CM-I patients had stable cognitive and psychological functioning after surgery, without significant changes from preoperative levels. CONCLUSION CM-I patients had below average performance in visuospatial and visuoconstructional abilities preoperatively. Prospective longitudinal data following surgery demonstrated improved neurologic status without any decline in cognition or psychological functioning. Routine pre- and postoperative formal neuropsychological assessment in CM-I patients help quantify cognitive and behavioral changes associated with surgical decompression.

Abstract
There is initial evidence of microstructural abnormalities in the fibre-tract pathways of the cerebellum and cerebrum of individuals diagnosed with Type I Chiari malformation. However, it is unclear whether abnormal white matter architecture and macro-level morphological deviations that have been observed in Chiari translate to differences in functional connectivity. Furthermore, common symptoms of Chiari include pain and cognitive deficits, but the relationship between these symptoms and functional connectivity has not been explored in this population. Eighteen Type I Chiari patients and 18 age-, sex- and education-matched controls underwent resting-state functional MRI to measure functional connectivity. Participants also completed a neuropsychological battery and completed self-report measures of chronic pain. Group differences in functional connectivity were identified. Subsequently, pathways of significant difference were re-analyzed after controlling for the effects of attention performance and self-reported chronic pain. Chiari patients exhibited functional hypoconnectivity between areas of the cerebellum and cerebrum. Controlling for attention eliminated all deficits with the exception of that from the posterior cerebellar pathway. Similarly, controlling for pain also eliminated deficits except for those from the posterior cerebellar pathway and vermis VII. Patterns of Chiari hyperconnectivity were also found between regions of the cerebellum and cerebrum in Chiari patients. Hyperconnectivity in all regions was eliminated after controlling for attention except between left lobule VIII and the left postcentral gyrus and between vermis IX and the precuneus. Similarly, hyperconnectivity was eliminated after controlling for pain except between the default mode network and globus pallidus, left lobule VIII and the left postcentral gyrus, and Vermis IX and the precuneus. Evidence of both hyper- and hypoconnectivity were identified in Chiari, which is posited to support the hypothesis that the effect of increased pain in Chiari draws on neural resources, requiring an upregulation in inhibitory control mechanisms and resulting in cognitive dysfunction. Areas of hypoconnectivity in Chiari patients also suggest disruption in functional pathways, and potential mechanisms are discussed.

Abstract
Chiari malformation type I (CMI) is a neural disorder with sensory, cognitive, and motor defects, as well as headaches. Radiologically, the cerebellar tonsils extend below the foramen magnum. To date, the relationships among adult age, brain morphometry, surgical status, and symptom severity in CMI are unknown. The objective of this study was to better understand the relationships among these variables using causal modeling techniques. Adult CMI patients (80% female) who either had (n = 150) or had not (n = 151) undergone posterior fossa decompression surgery were assessed using morphometric measures derived from magnetic resonance images (MRI). MRI-based morphometry showed that the area of the CSF pocket anterior to the cervico-medullary junction (anterior CSF space) correlated with age at the time of MRI (r = - .21). Also, self-reported pain increased with age (r = .11) and decreased with anterior CSF space (r = - .18). Age differences in self-reported pain were mediated by anterior CSF space in the cervical spine area-and this effect was particularly salient for non-decompressed CMI patients. As CMI patients age, the anterior CSF space decreases, and this is associated with increased pain-especially for non-decompressed CMI patients. It is recommended that further consideration of age-related decreases in anterior CSF space in CMI patients be given in future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous case-control investigations of type I Chiari malformation (CMI) have reported cognitive deficits and microstructural white matter abnormalities, as measured by diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). CMI is also typically associated with pain, including occipital headache, but the relationship between pain symptoms and microstructure is not known. METHODS Eighteen CMI patients and 18 adult age- and education-matched control participants underwent DTI, were tested using digit symbol coding and digit span tasks, and completed a self-report measure of chronic pain. Tissue microstructure indices were used to examine microstructural abnormalities in CMI as compared with healthy controls. Group differences in DTI parameters were then reassessed after controlling for self-reported pain. Finally, DTI parameters were correlated with performance on the digit symbol coding and digit span tasks within each group. RESULTS CMI patients exhibited greater fractional anisotropy (FA), lower radial diffusivity, and lower mean diffusivity in multiple brain regions compared with controls in diffuse white matter regions. Group differences no longer existed after controlling for self-reported pain. A significant correlation between FA and the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status coding performance was observed for controls but not for the CMI group. CONCLUSIONS Diffuse microstructural abnormalities appear to be a feature of CMI, manifesting predominantly as greater FA and less diffusivity on DTI sequences. These white matter changes are associated with the subjective pain experience of CMI patients and may reflect reactivity to neuroinflammatory responses. However, this hypothesis will require further deliberate testing in future studies.

Abstract
Chiari malformation type I (CM-I) is a neurological disorder in which cerebellar tonsils are herniated through the foramen magnum into the spinal canal. A wide spectrum of cognitive deficits underlying this pathology has been reported, but the literature about social cognition is insufficient. Clinical research has pointed out the cerebellar role in Theory of Mind (ToM), indicating that there are several disorders with cerebellar pathology that reveal a poorer performance in social cognition tasks. The main purpose of this study is to compare the performance on ToM tasks between CM-I patients and healthy controls. The protocol includes Faux Pas test, Happé's Strange Stories test, Ice-Cream Van task, the FEEL test, and the Word Accentuation Test. In order to eliminate the possible influence of covariables, physical pain and anxious-depressive symptomatology have been controlled for. According to the results, CM-I patients performed worse than matched healthy controls on ToM tasks, except for facial emotion recognition. These differences remained even after controlling for the neuropsychiatric variables and physical pain. Thus, it can be suggested that patients with CM-I are impaired in their social skills related to their performance on ToM tasks. These findings can be considered to be a preliminary approach to the specific study of social cognition in relation to CM-I since it is similar to other cerebellar pathologies and to previous literature on the cerebellum's role in social cognition.

Abstract
Chiari malformation type I (CMI) provides an opportunity for examining possible moderators of allostatic load. CMI patients who had (n = 43) and had not (n = 19) undergone decompression surgery completed questionnaires regarding pain, disability, and loneliness, and provided serum samples for IL-6, CRP, estrogen, and free estradiol assays, and saliva samples to assess diurnal cortisol curves. ANOVAs examining surgical status (decompressed versus non-decompressed), loneliness (high vs. low), and disability (high vs. low) as independent variables and biomarker variables as dependent factors found that loneliness was associated with higher levels of cortisol, F(1, 37) = 4.91, p = .04, η2P = .11, and lower levels of estrogen, F(1, 36) = 7.29, p = .01, η2P = .17, but only in decompressed patients. Results highlight the possible impact of loneliness on biological stress responses and the need to intervene to reduce loneliness in patients with symptomatic CMI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigates whether there exist differences in lateralization of facial emotion processing in patients suffering from Vestibular Schwannoma (VS) based on the presence of a facial paresis and their degree of facial functioning as measured by the House Brackmann Grading scale (HBG). METHODS Forty-four VS patients, half of them with a facial paresis and half of them without a facial paresis, rated how emotive they considered images of faces showing emotion in the left versus right visual field. Stimuli consisted of faces with a neutral half and an emotional (happy or angry) half. The study had a mixed design with emotional expression (happy vs. angry) and emotional half (left vs. right visual field) of the faces as repeated measures, and facial paresis (present vs. absent) and HBG as between subjects' factors. The visual field bias was the main dependent variable. RESULTS In line with typical findings in the normal population, a left visual field bias showed in the current sample: patients judged emotional expressions shown in the left visual field as more emotive than those shown in the right visual field. No differences in visual field bias showed based on the presence of a facial paresis nor based on patients' HBG. CONCLUSION VS patients show a left visual field bias when processing facial emotion. No differences in lateralization showed based on the presence of a facial paresis or on patients' HBG. Based on this study, facial paresis thus does not affect the lateralization of facial emotion processing in patients with VS.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to develop a risk prediction model for post-stroke depression (PSD) based on magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data of 61 patients hospitalized with stroke (November 2017-March 2019) were retrospectively analyzed. After 61 patients had been admitted to hospital for routine clinical information collection, when the patients were in stable condition, proton MR spectroscopy (1H-MRS) examinations were performed to measure the ratio of choline to creatine (Cho/Cr) and N-acetylaspartate to creatine (NAA/Cr) in brain regions related to emotion. From the second month to the sixth month after the onset, these 61 patients were assessed by the Hamilton Depression Scale once a month. Based on the scores, patients were divided into PSD and post-stroke non-depression (N-PSD) groups. Twenty-two characteristics were extracted from clinical data and the 1H-MRS imaging indexes. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used for optimal feature selection and the nomogram prediction model was established. The model's predictive ability was validated by a calibration plot and the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Two demographic characteristics (activities of daily living and initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores) and three 1H-MRS imaging characteristics (frontal-lobe Cho/Cr, temporal-lobe Cho/Cr, and anterior cingulated-cortex Cho/Cr) were screened out by LASSO regression. The consistency test through the calibration plot found that the predicted probability of the nomogram for PSD correlates well with the actual probability. The AUCs for internal validation and external validation were 0.8635 and 0.8851, respectively. CONCLUSION The PSD risk model based on 1H-MRS may help guide early treatment of stroke and prevent progression to PSD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 50% of patients with Chiari Malformation (CM) report a history of depression; however, rates of other psychological symptoms are unknown. Further, it is unclear whether surgical correction impacts pain, disability, and psychological symptoms. OBJECTIVE /Hypothesis: We examined rates of symptoms in a nationwide sample of CM patients who had (n = 639) and had not (n = 551) undergone surgical correction. We hypothesized lower symptom severity in the latter group. METHODS Participants completed assessments and submitted pre-surgical MRI scans online (n = 286). Informed by the Fear-Avoidance Model of pain, we controlled for psychological symptoms when assessing pain/disability, and pain/disability when assessing psychological symptoms. RESULTS Overall, high rates of depression (44% moderate-severe) and anxiety (60% moderate-severe) were reported. Groups (surgery vs. no-surgery) did not differ in the proportion of patients meeting cutoff scores for current disability; however, the no-surgery group was more likely to meet cutoffs for anxiety (χ2 = 11.26, p < .05), stress (χ2 = 14.63, p < .01) and health anxiety (χ2 = 4.63, p < .05). The surgery group reported lower levels of continuous affective pain F(1, 1065) = 10.28, p < .001), anxiety F(1,1026) = 4.96, p < .05) and stress F(1, 978) = 5.67, p < .05) although effect sizes were small (η2s ranging from 0.010 to 0.006, Cohen's D ranging from 0.17 to 0.25). CONCLUSION CM patients experience high rates of psychological symptomatology regardless of surgical status, suggesting that all CM patients may benefit from evidence-based interventions to address anxiety and depression.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chiari malformation type I is identified as radiological appearance of cerebellar tonsil herniation below the foramen magnum. The wide spectrum of clinical manifestations variably associated sometimes encompasses signs and symptoms whose correlation with the malformation remains debatable. However, a correct clinical framework is relevant in tailoring the strategy of management, and in particular, establishing the appropriate surgical intervention. METHODS An analysis of relevant articles on this issue was performed, involving both single case reports and case series. The papers were obtained from electronic databases including PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar, as well as direct contact with some authors. RESULTS This review focuses on those unusual clinical pictures attributed to Chiari malformation type I (CMI), investigating their actual relationship with the morphological condition. Supposed physiopathogenetic mechanisms and clinical relevance are discussed along with an analysis on the surgical indications and results. CONCLUSION There is no clear explanation on why some patients may exhibit uncommon symptoms, often in association with the most frequent ones, but even reported as single initial clinical occurrence. Their actual incidence may have been roughly underestimated in the literature so far, because of wide heterogeneity of selection and analysis among different studies. Most of the authors appear sharing the impression that CMI surgical decompression plays a significant role in controlling the majority of these unusual symptoms, stressing their actual occurrence in relation with the malformation. A routinely multidisciplinary clinical approach has become advisable to encompass the diversity of conditions potentially associated with CMI and improve the care of CMI patients.

Abstract
This study was focused on a semi-automated morphometric analysis of the cerebellum in the mid-sagittal plane as an alternative to tonsillar descent alone in the evaluation of Chiari malformation type 1 (CMI) patients. Morphometric analyses of posterior fossa structures were performed on mid-sagittal MRI images of 375 individuals (females, > 18 years, 235 CMI and 140 healthy controls). Twenty-six parameters including linear, angular and area measurements together with non-dimensional ratios were calculated. Eighteen parameters were found to be significantly different between CMI and control subjects. Smaller posterior cranial fossa (PCF) area in CMI subjects was attributed to a smaller PCF area anterior to the brainstem. The cerebellar area was found to be larger in CMI subjects as compared to controls (15.1%), even without inclusion of the tonsillar area below the foramen magnum (FM) (8.4%). The larger cerebellar area in CMI subjects was due to cranial-caudal elongation of the cerebellum, predominately below the fastigium. The cerebrospinal fluid spaces below the FM were smaller in CMI subjects as compared to controls. Overall, greater cerebellar crowding was identified in CMI subjects relative to healthy controls. These observations may improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of CMI in adult female patients.
