Tröster AI. Developments in the prediction of cognitive changes following deep brain stimulation in persons with Parkinson's disease. Expert Rev Neurother 2024; 24:643-659. [PMID: 38814926 DOI: 10.1080/14737175.2024.2360121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/22/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) motor symptoms that improves function and quality of life in appropriately selected patients. Because mild to moderate cognitive declines can follow DBS and impact quality of life in a minority of patients, an important consideration involves the cognitive deficit and its prediction. AREAS COVERED The author briefly summarizes cognitive outcomes from DBS and reviews in more detail the risks/predictors of post-DBS cognitive dysfunction by mainly focusing on work published between 2018 and 2024 and using comprehensive neuropsychological (NP) evaluations. Most publications concern bilateral subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS. Comment is offered on challenges and potential avenues forward. EXPERT OPINION STN DBS is relatively safe cognitively but declines occur especially in verbal fluency and executive function/working memory. Numerous predictors and risk factors for cognitive outcomes have been identified (age and pre-operative neuropsychological status appear the most robust) but precise risk estimates cannot yet be confidently offered. Future studies should employ study center consortia, follow uniform reporting criteria (to be developed), capitalize on advances in stimulation, biomarkers, and artificial intelligence, and address DBS in diverse groups. Advances offer an avenue to investigate the amelioration of cognitive deficits in PD using neuromodulation.

Lower oddball event-related EEG delta and theta responses in patients with dementia due to Parkinson's and Lewy body than Alzheimer's disease. Neurobiol Aging 2024; 137:78-93. [PMID: 38452574 DOI: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2024.02.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2023] [Revised: 01/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
Oddball task-related EEG delta and theta responses are associated with frontal executive functions, which are significantly impaired in patients with dementia due to Parkinson's disease (PDD) and Lewy bodies (DLB). The present study investigated the oddball task-related EEG delta and theta responses in patients with PDD, DLB, and Alzheimer's disease dementia (ADD). During visual and auditory oddball paradigms, EEG activity was recorded in 20 ADD, 17 DLB, 20 PDD, and 20 healthy (HC) older adults. Event-related EEG power spectrum and phase-locking analysis were performed at the delta (1-4 Hz) and theta (4-7 Hz) frequency bands for target and nontarget stimuli. Compared to the HC persons, dementia groups showed lower frontal and central delta and theta power and phase-locking associated with task performance and neuropsychological test scores. Notably, this effect was more significant in the PDD and DLB than in the ADD. In conclusion, oddball task-related frontal and central EEG delta and theta responses may reflect frontal supramodal executive dysfunctions in PDD and DLB patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has considerable efficacy for the motor dysfunction of idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) on patient quality of life. However, the benefit of DBS on voice and speech quality remains controversial. We carried out a systematic review to understand the influence of DBS on parkinsonian dysphonia and dysarthria. DATA SOURCES A PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane systematic review was carried out following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome, Timing, and Setting (PICOTS) statements. REVIEW METHODS Three investigators screened studies published in the literature from inception to May 2022. The following data were retrieved: age, demographic, sex, disease duration, DBS duration, DBS location, speech, and voice quality measurements. RESULTS From the 180 studies identified, 44 publications met the inclusion criteria, accounting for 866 patients. Twenty-nine studies focused on voice/speech quality in subthalamic DBS patients, and 6 included patients with stimulation of pallidal, thalamic, and zona incerta regions. Most studies (4/6) reported a deterioration of the vocal parameters on subjective voice quality evaluation. For speech, the findings were more contrasted. There was an important heterogeneity between studies regarding the voice and speech quality outcomes used to evaluate the impact of DBS on voice/speech quality. CONCLUSION The impact of DBS on voice and speech quality significantly varies between studies. The stimulated anatomical region may have a significant role since the stimulation of the pallidal area was mainly associated with voice quality improvement, in contrast with other regions. Future controlled studies comparing all region stimulation are needed to get reliable findings. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III: evidence from evidence summaries developed from systematic reviews.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) and subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) are both known to induce cognitive changes. OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of STN-DBS on two forms of conditional associative learning (CAL), trial and error or corrective feedback learning, which differed in difficulty to test the load-dependency hypothesis of the cognitive effects of STN-DBS in PD. METHODS We recruited two groups of PD patients, those who had STN-DBS surgery bilaterally (n = 24) and a second unoperated group (n = 9) who were assessed on two versions of a task of visual CAL involving either a more difficult trial and error learning or a relatively easier corrective feedback learning. Each task was completed twice by both groups, On and Off STN-DBS for the operated group and a first and second time by the unoperated group. RESULTS With STN-DBS Off, corrective feedback learning was superior to trial and error CAL, but not with STN-DBS On. The unoperated PD group had improved performance during the second assessment. To control for the improvement observed with repeated assessment in the PD control group, we split the STN-DBS group into two subgroups based on the condition of the first assessment (Off first vs. On first). While we found no STN-DBS effects for the Off first subgroup (N = 14), we observed improved performance during the second STN-DBS Off session for the On first subgroup (N = 10). CONCLUSION The findings suggest that in PD, STN-DBS interferes with use of corrective feedback and its integration in the conditional associative learning process. Also STN stimulation affected the ability of operated patients to resolve proactive interference during learning of the arbitrary visual associations by trial and error or with corrective feedback.

Abstract
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is a therapy for various neurological movement disorders. It acts predominantly on motor symptoms, but may unfold a number of mostly subtle cognitive effects. In this regard, reports on particular language-related DBS sequels are comparably frequent, but difficult to overlook, given the heterogeneity of targeted structures in the brain, treated diseases, assessment methods and results reported. Accordingly, available knowledge was organized with respect to important aspects, such as the main DBS loci and surgical versus neuromodulatory therapy actions. Current views of biolinguistic underpinnings of the reviewed data, their clinical relevance and potential implications are discussed.

Does Quantitative Electroencephalography Refine Preoperative Cognitive Assessment in Parkinson's Disease Patients Treated with Deep Brain Stimulation? A Follow-Up Study. Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord 2021; 50:349-356.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Deep brain stimulation (DBS) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with an increased risk of post-operative cognitive deterioration. Preoperative neuropsychological testing can be affected and limited by the patient's collaboration in advanced disease. The purpose of this study was to determine whether preoperative quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) may be a useful complementary examination technique during preoperative assessment to predict cognitive changes in PD patients treated with DBS. METHODS We compared the cognitive performance of 16 PD patients who underwent bilateral subthalamic nucleus DBS to the performance of 15 PD controls (matched for age, sex, and education) at baseline and at 24 months. Cognitive scores were calculated for all patients across 5 domains. A preoperative 256-channel resting EEG was recorded from each patient. We computed the global relative power spectra. Correlation and linear regression models were used to assess associations of preoperative EEG measures with post-operative cognitive scores. RESULTS Slow waves (relative delta and theta band power) were negatively correlated with post-operative cognitive performance, while faster waves (alpha 1) were strongly positively correlated with the same scores (the overall cognitive score, attention, and executive function). Linear models revealed an association of delta power with the overall cognitive score (p = 0.00409, adjusted R2 = 0.6341). Verbal fluency (VF) showed a significant decline after DBS surgery, which was correlated with qEEG measures. CONCLUSIONS To analyse the side effects after DBS in PD patients, the most important parameter is verbal fluency capacity. In addition, correlation with EEG frequency bands might be useful to detect particularly vulnerable patients for cognitive impairment and be supportive in the selection process of patients considered for DBS.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN DBS) improves cardinal motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) but can worsen verbal fluency (VF). An optimal site of stimulation for overall motor improvement has been previously identified using an atlas-independent, fully individualized, field-modeling approach. This study examines if cardinal motor components (bradykinesia, tremor, and rigidity) share this identified optimal improvement site and if there is co-localization with a site that worsens VF. METHODS An atlas-independent, field-modeling approach was used to identify sites of maximal STN DBS effect on overall and cardinal motor symptoms and VF in 60 patients. Anatomic coordinates were referenced to the STN midpoint. Symptom severity was assessed with the MDS-UPDRS part III and established VF scales. RESULTS Sites for improved bradykinesia and rigidity co-localized with each other and the overall part III site (0.09 mm lateral, 0.93 mm posterior, 1.75 mm dorsal). The optimal site for tremor was posterior to this site (0.10 mm lateral, 1.40 mm posterior, 1.93 mm dorsal). Semantic and phonemic VF sites were indistinguishable and co-localized medial to the motor sites (0.32 mm medial, 1.18 mm posterior, 1.74 mm dorsal). CONCLUSION This study identifies statistically distinct, maximally effective stimulation sites for tremor improvement, VF worsening, and overall and other cardinal motor improvements in STN DBS. Current electrode sizes and voltage settings stimulate all of these sites simultaneously. However, future targeted lead placement and focused directional stimulation may avoid VF worsening while maintaining motor improvements in STN DBS.

Abstract
Recent progress in targeted interrogation of basal ganglia structures and networks with deep brain stimulation in humans has provided insights into the complex functions the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Beyond the traditional role of the STN in modulating motor function, recognition of its role in cognition was initially fueled by side effects seen with STN DBS and later revealed with behavioral and electrophysiological studies. Anatomical, clinical, and electrophysiological data converge on the view that the STN is a pivotal node linking cognitive and motor processes. The goal of this review is to synthesize the literature to date that used DBS to examine the contributions of the STN to motor and non-motor cognitive functions and control. Multiple modalities of research have provided us with an enhanced understanding of the STN and reveal that it is critically involved in motor and non-motor inhibition, decision-making, motivation and emotion. Understanding the role of the STN in cognition can enhance the therapeutic efficacy and selectivity not only for existing applications of DBS, but also in the development of therapeutic strategies to stimulate aberrant circuits to treat non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease and other disorders.
