Abstract
Although research studies have begun to demonstrate relationships between disorders of consciousness and brain network biomarkers, there are limited data on the practical aspects of obtaining such network biomarkers to potentially guide care. As the state of knowledge continues to evolve, guidelines from professional societies such as the American and European Academies of Neurology and many experts have advocated that the risk-benefit ratio for the assessment of network biomarkers has begun to favor their application toward potentially detecting covert consciousness. Given the lack of detailed operationalization guidance and the context of the ethical implications, herein we offer a roadmap based on local institutional experience with the implementation of functional MRI in the neonatal, pediatric, and adult intensive care units of our local government-supported health system. We provide a case-based demonstrative approach intended to review the current literature and to assist with the initiation of such services at other facilities.

Intraoperative Resting-State Functional Connectivity Based on RGB Imaging. Diagnostics (Basel) 2021; 11:diagnostics11112067. [PMID: 34829414 PMCID: PMC8625493 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics11112067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2021] [Revised: 10/27/2021] [Accepted: 11/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
RGB optical imaging is a marker-free, contactless, and non-invasive technique that is able to monitor hemodynamic brain response following neuronal activation using task-based and resting-state procedures. Magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional near infra-red spectroscopy (fNIRS) resting-state procedures cannot be used intraoperatively but RGB imaging provides an ideal solution to identify resting-state networks during a neurosurgical operation. We applied resting-state methodologies to intraoperative RGB imaging and evaluated their ability to identify resting-state networks. We adapted two resting-state methodologies from fMRI for the identification of resting-state networks using intraoperative RGB imaging. Measurements were performed in 3 patients who underwent resection of lesions adjacent to motor sites. The resting-state networks were compared to the identifications provided by RGB task-based imaging and electrical brain stimulation. Intraoperative RGB resting-state networks corresponded to RGB task-based imaging (DICE:0.55±0.29). Resting state procedures showed a strong correspondence between them (DICE:0.66±0.11) and with electrical brain stimulation. RGB imaging is a relevant technique for intraoperative resting-state networks identification. Intraoperative resting-state imaging has several advantages compared to functional task-based analyses: data acquisition is shorter, less complex, and less demanding for the patients, especially for those unable to perform the tasks.

Abstract
Abstract
Brain mapping is a quintessential part of neurosurgical practice. Accordingly, much of our understanding of the brain's functional organization, and in particular the motor homunculus, is largely attributable to the clinical investigations of past neurosurgeons. Traditionally mapping was invasive and involved the application of electrical current to the exposed brain to observe focal disruption of function or to elicit overt actions. More recently, a wide variety of techniques have been developed that do not require electrical stimulation and often do not require any explicit participation by the subject. Collectively we refer to these as passive mapping modalities. Here we review the spectrum of passive mapping used by neurosurgeons for mapping and surgical planning that ranges from invasive intracranial recordings to noninvasive imaging as well as regimented task-based protocols to completely task-free paradigms that can be performed intraoperatively while under anesthesia.

World Neurosurg 2020; 146:e351-e358.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study, we evaluated the changes in resting-state networks (RSNs) under anesthesia in neurosurgical patients. METHODS RSNs were analyzed in 12 patients with pituitary adenoma presented by chiasma compression operated via standard transsphenoidal approach under propofol anesthesia before and after tumor resection. All the patients had suprasellar tumor extension with compression of the optic chiasma. We investigated second-level effects by contrasting dummy-encoded covariates representing the effects of the sessions (first vs. second) on RSNs. We corrected for multiple comparisons using a false discovery rate of 0.05 (2-sided). RESULTS Connectivity between the right and left precentral gyri (motor network) decreased significantly from the first to the second session (P = 0.0002), as did the connectivity between the postcentral gyri (P = 0.009). The same was valid for connectivity between the visual cortices (P = 0.0002). The salience network showed a significant decrease in the connectivity of the anterior part of the cingulate gyrus and insular cortex (P = 0.0001). The default mode network showed a decrease in the connectivity between the posterior part of the cingulate gyrus, parietal, and frontal cortices (P = 0.0002). There was no significant correlation between the reduction in connectivity and dose or duration of anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS Different RSNs could be identified under anesthesia and used for intraoperative brain mapping and remapping during tumor resection. However, RSNs showed a significant decrease in connectivity with the continuation of anesthesia.

Combined Isoflurane-Remifentanil Anaesthesia Permits Resting-State fMRI in Children with Severe Epilepsy and Intellectual Disability. Brain Topogr 2020; 33:618-635.

Abstract
Head motion is a significant barrier to functional MRI (fMRI) in patients who are unable to tolerate awake scanning, including young children or those with cognitive and behavioural impairments. General anaesthesia minimises motion and ensures patient comfort, however the optimal anaesthesia regimen for fMRI in the paediatric setting is unknown. In this study, we tested the feasibility of anaesthetised fMRI in 11 patients (mean age = 9.8 years) with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a severe form of childhood-onset epilepsy associated with intellectual disability. fMRI was acquired during clinically-indicated MRI sessions using a synergistic anaesthesia regimen we typically administer for epilepsy neurosurgery: combined low-dose isoflurane (≤ 0.8% end-tidal concentration) with remifentanil (≤ 0.1 mcg/kg/min). Using group-level independent component analysis, we assessed the presence of resting-state networks by spatially comparing results in the anaesthetised patients to resting-state network templates from the 'Generation R' study of 536 similarly-aged non-anaesthetised healthy children (Muetzel et al. in Hum Brain Mapp 37(12):4286-4300, 2016). Numerous resting-state networks commonly studied in non-anaesthetised healthy children were readily identifiable in the anaesthetised patients, including the default-mode, sensorimotor, and frontoparietal networks. Independent component time-courses associated with these networks showed spectral characteristics suggestive of a neuronal origin of fMRI signal fluctuations, including high dynamic range and temporal frequency power predominantly below 0.1 Hz. These results demonstrate the technical feasibility of anaesthetised fMRI in children, suggesting that combined isoflurane-remifentanil anaesthesia may be an effective strategy to extend the emerging clinical applications of resting-state fMRI (for example, neurosurgical planning) to the variety of patient groups who may otherwise be impractical to scan.

Abstract
Brain tumor (BT) patients often experience reduced cognitive abilities and disrupted adaptive functioning before and after treatment. An innovative approach to understanding the underlying brain networks associated with these outcomes has been to study the brain's functional connectivity (FC), the spatially distributed and temporally correlated activity throughout the brain, and how it can be affected by a tumor. The present review synthesized the extant BT FC literature that utilizes functional magnetic resonance imaging to study FC strength of commonly observed networks during rest and task. A systematic review of English articles using PubMed was conducted. Search terms included brain tumor OR glioma AND functional connectivity, independent component analysis, ICA, psychophysiological interaction, OR PPI. Studies in which participants were diagnosed with BTs as adults that evaluated specific networks of interest using independent component analysis or seed-based component analysis were included. Twenty-five studies met inclusion criteria. BT patients often presented with decreases in FC strength within well-established networks and increases in atypical FC patterns. Network differences were tumor adjacent and distal, and left hemisphere tumors generally had a greater impact on FC. FC alterations often correlated with behavioral or cognitive outcomes when assessed. Overall, BTs appear to lead to various alterations in FC across different functional networks, and the most common change is a decrease in expected FC strength. More longitudinal studies are needed to determine the time course of network alterations across treatment and recovery, the role of medical treatments in BT survivors' FC, and the potential of FC patterns as biomarkers of cognitive outcomes.

Abstract
We evaluated whether task-related fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) BOLD (blood oxygenation level dependent) activation could be acquired under conventional anaesthesia at a depth enabling neurosurgery in five patients with supratentorial gliomas. Within a 1.5 T MRI operating room immediately prior to neurosurgery, a passive finger flexion sensorimotor paradigm was performed on each hand with the patients awake, and then immediately after the induction and maintenance of combined sevoflurane and propofol general anaesthesia. The depth of surgical anaesthesia was measured and confirmed with an EEG-derived technique, the Bispectral Index (BIS). The magnitude of the task-related BOLD response and BOLD sensitivity under anaesthesia were determined. The fMRI data were assessed by three fMRI expert observers who rated each activation map for somatotopy and usefulness for radiological neurosurgical guidance. The mean magnitudes of the task-related BOLD response under a BIS measured depth of surgical general anaesthesia were 25% (tumour affected hemisphere) and 22% (tumour free hemisphere) of the respective awake values. BOLD sensitivity under anaesthesia ranged from 7% to 83% compared to the awake state. Despite these reductions, somatotopic BOLD activation was observed in the sensorimotor cortex in all ten data acquisitions surpassing statistical thresholds of at least p < 0.001uncorr. All ten fMRI activation datasets were scored to be useful for radiological neurosurgical guidance. Passive task-related sensorimotor fMRI acquired in neurosurgical patients under multi-pharmacological general anaesthesia is reproducible and yields clinically useful activation maps. These results demonstrate the feasibility of the technique and its potential value if applied intra-operatively. Additionally these methods may enable fMRI investigations in patients unable to perform or lie still for awake paradigms, such as young children, claustrophobic patients and those with movement disorders.

Abstract
There are a number of various methods of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) analysis such as independent component analysis, multivariate autoregressive models, or seed correlation analysis however their results depend on arbitrary choice of parameters. Therefore, the aim of this work was to optimize the parameters in the seed correlation analysis using the Data Processing Assistant for Resting-State fMRI (DPARSF) toolbox for rs-fMRI data received from a Siemens Magnetom Skyra 3-Tesla scanner using a whole-brain, gradient-echo echo planar sequence with a 32-channel head coil. Different ranges of the following parameters: amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), Gaussian kernel at FWHM and radius of spherical ROI for 109 regions were tested for 20 healthy volunteers. The highest values of functional connectivity (FC) correlations were found for ALFF 0.01-0.08, spherical ROIs with the 8-mm radius and Gaussian kernel 8 mm at FWHM in all the studied areas that is, Auditory, Sensimotor, Visual, and Default Mode Network. The dominating influence of ALFF and smoothing on values of FC correlations was noted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Evidence of pre-operative resting state functional magnetic resonance (RS-fMRI) validation by correlating it with clinical pre-operative status in brain tumor patients is scarce. Our aim was to validate the functional relevance of RS-fMRI by investigating the association between RS-fMRI and pre-operative motor and language function performance in patients with brain tumor. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-nine patients with brain tumors were prospectively recruited. Patients with tumors near precentral gyrus (n = 49) underwent assessment for apparent (paresis) and subtle (finger tapping) deficits. Patients with left frontal tumors in the vicinity of the inferior frontal gyrus (n = 29) underwent assessment for gross (aphasia) and mild language (phonological verbal fluency) deficits. RS-fMRI results were extracted by spatial independent component analysis (ICA). RESULTS Motor group: paretic patients showed significantly (P = 0.01) decreased BOLD signal in ipsilesional precentral gyrus when compared to contralesional one. Significantly (P < 0.01) lower BOLD signal was also observed in ipsilesional precentral gyrus of paretics when compared with the non-paretics. In asymptomatic patients, a strong positive correlation (r = 0.68, P < 0.01) between ipsilesional motor cortex BOLD signal and contralesional finger tapping performance was observed. Language group: patients with aphasia showed significantly (P = 0.01) decreased RS-fMRI BOLD signal in left BA 44 when compared with non- aphasics. In asymptomatic patients, a strong positive correlation (r = 0.72, P < 0.01) between BA 44 BOLD signal and phonological fluency performance was observed. CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that RS-fMRI BOLD signal of motor and language networks were significantly affected by the tumors implying the usefulness of the method for assessment of the underlying functions in brain tumors patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Resting-state functional MR imaging has been used for motor mapping in presurgical planning but never used intraoperatively. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of applying intraoperative resting-state functional MR imaging for the safe resection of gliomas using real-time motor cortex mapping during an operation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using interventional MR imaging, we conducted preoperative and intraoperative resting-state intrinsic functional connectivity analyses of the motor cortex in 30 patients with brain tumors. Factors that may influence intraoperative imaging quality, including anesthesia type (general or awake anesthesia) and tumor cavity (filled with normal saline or not), were studied to investigate image quality. Additionally, direct cortical stimulation was used to validate the accuracy of intraoperative resting-state fMRI in mapping the motor cortex. RESULTS Preoperative and intraoperative resting-state fMRI scans were acquired for all patients. Fourteen patients who successfully completed both sufficient intraoperative resting-state fMRI and direct cortical stimulation were used for further analysis of sensitivity and specificity. Compared with those subjected to direct cortical stimulation, the sensitivity and specificity of intraoperative resting-state fMRI in localizing the motor area were 61.7% and 93.7%, respectively. The image quality of intraoperative resting-state fMRI was better when the tumor cavity was filled with normal saline (P = .049). However, no significant difference between the anesthesia types was observed (P = .102). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates the feasibility of using intraoperative resting-state fMRI for real-time localization of functional areas during a neurologic operation. The findings suggest that using intraoperative resting-state fMRI can avoid the risk of intraoperative seizures due to direct cortical stimulation and may provide neurosurgeons with valuable information to facilitate the safe resection of gliomas.

Abstract
Maximal safe resection is the cornerstone of treatment for low-grade and high-grade gliomas. In addition to high-resolution anatomic MRI studies that highlight tumor architecture, it is important to determine the relationship of the tumor to the eloquent cortical and subcortical areas to avoid introducing or exacerbating a neurologic deficit. The goal of this review was to highlight imaging modalities that provide functional information and can be integrated with intraoperative MRI navigation to maximize the extent of resection while preserving a patient's neurologic function.
