Abstract
Importance If history teaches, as cardiac pacing moved from fixed-rate to on-demand delivery in in 80s of the last century, there are high probabilities that closed-loop and adaptive approaches will become, in the next decade, the natural evolution of conventional Deep Brain Stimulation (cDBS). However, while devices for aDBS are already available for clinical use, few data on their clinical application and technological limitations are available so far. In such scenario, gathering the opinion and expertise of leading investigators worldwide would boost and guide practice and research, thus grounding the clinical development of aDBS. Observations We identified clinical and academically experienced DBS clinicians (n=21) to discuss the challenges related to aDBS. A 5-point Likert scale questionnaire along with a Delphi method was employed. 42 questions were submitted to the panel, half of them being related to technical aspects while the other half to clinical aspects of aDBS. Experts agreed that aDBS will become clinical practice in 10 years. In the present scenario, although the panel agreed that aDBS applications require skilled clinicians and that algorithms need to be further optimized to manage complex PD symptoms, consensus was reached on aDBS safety and its ability to provide a faster and more stable treatment response than cDBS, also for tremor-dominant Parkinson's disease patients and for those with motor fluctuations and dyskinesias. Conclusions and Relevance Despite the need of further research, the panel concluded that aDBS is safe, promises to be maximally effective in PD patients with motor fluctuation and dyskinesias and therefore will enter into the clinical practice in the next years, with further research focused on algorithms and markers for complex symptoms.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a widely used therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) but lacks dynamic responsiveness to changing clinical and neural states. Feedback control might improve therapeutic effectiveness, but the optimal control strategy and additional benefits of 'adaptive' neurostimulation are unclear. Here we present the results of a blinded randomized cross-over pilot trial aimed at determining the neural correlates of specific motor signs in individuals with PD and the feasibility of using these signals to drive adaptive DBS. Four male patients with PD were recruited from a population undergoing DBS implantation for motor fluctuations, with each patient receiving adaptive DBS and continuous DBS. We identified stimulation-entrained gamma oscillations in the subthalamic nucleus or motor cortex as optimal markers of high versus low dopaminergic states and their associated residual motor signs in all four patients. We then demonstrated improved motor symptoms and quality of life with adaptive compared to clinically optimized standard stimulation. The results of this pilot trial highlight the promise of personalized adaptive neurostimulation in PD based on data-driven selection of neural signals. Furthermore, these findings provide the foundation for further larger clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of personalized adaptive neurostimulation in PD and other neurological disorders.

Abstract
Background Freezing of gait (FOG) is a debilitating symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) that is often refractory to medication. Pathological prolonged beta bursts within the subthalamic nucleus (STN) are associated with both worse impairment and freezing behavior in PD, which are improved with deep brain stimulation (DBS). The goal of the current study was to investigate the feasibility, safety, and tolerability of beta burst-driven adaptive DBS (aDBS) for FOG in PD. Methods Seven individuals with PD were implanted with the investigational Summit™ RC+S DBS system (Medtronic, PLC) with leads placed bilaterally in the STN. A PC-in-the-loop architecture was used to adjust stimulation amplitude in real-time based on the observed beta burst durations in the STN. Participants performed either a harnessed stepping-in-place task or a free walking turning and barrier course, as well as clinical motor assessments and instrumented measures of bradykinesia, OFF stimulation, on aDBS, continuous DBS (cDBS), or random intermittent DBS (iDBS). Results Beta burst driven aDBS was successfully implemented and deemed safe and tolerable in all seven participants. Gait metrics such as overall percent time freezing and mean peak shank angular velocity improved from OFF to aDBS and showed similar efficacy as cDBS. Similar improvements were also seen for overall clinical motor impairment, including tremor, as well as quantitative metrics of bradykinesia. Conclusion Beta burst driven adaptive DBS was feasible, safe, and tolerable in individuals with PD with gait impairment and FOG.

Abstract
Objective. Closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a promising therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) that works by adjusting DBS patterns in real time from the guidance of feedback neural activity. Current closed-loop DBS mainly uses threshold-crossing on-off controllers or linear time-invariant (LTI) controllers to regulate the basal ganglia (BG) Parkinsonian beta band oscillation power. However, the critical cortex-BG-thalamus network dynamics underlying PD are nonlinear, non-stationary, and noisy, hindering accurate and robust control of Parkinsonian neural oscillatory dynamics.Approach. Here, we develop a new robust adaptive closed-loop DBS method for regulating the Parkinsonian beta oscillatory dynamics of the cortex-BG-thalamus network. We first build an adaptive state-space model to quantify the dynamic, nonlinear, and non-stationary neural activity. We then construct an adaptive estimator to track the nonlinearity and non-stationarity in real time. We next design a robust controller to automatically determine the DBS frequency based on the estimated Parkinsonian neural state while reducing the system's sensitivity to high-frequency noise. We adopt and tune a biophysical cortex-BG-thalamus network model as an in-silico simulation testbed to generate nonlinear and non-stationary Parkinsonian neural dynamics for evaluating DBS methods.Main results. We find that under different nonlinear and non-stationary neural dynamics, our robust adaptive DBS method achieved accurate regulation of the BG Parkinsonian beta band oscillation power with small control error, bias, and deviation. Moreover, the accurate regulation generalizes across different therapeutic targets and consistently outperforms current on-off and LTI DBS methods.Significance. These results have implications for future designs of closed-loop DBS systems to treat PD.

Abstract
Objective.Beta triggered closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) shows great potential for improving the efficacy while reducing side effect for Parkinson's disease. However, there remain great challenges due to the dynamics and stochasticity of neural activities. In this study, we aimed to tune the amplitude of beta oscillations with different time scales taking into account influence of inherent variations in the basal ganglia-thalamus-cortical circuit.Approach. A dynamic basal ganglia-thalamus-cortical mean-field model was established to emulate the medication rhythm. Then, a dynamic target model was designed to embody the multi-timescale dynamic of beta power with milliseconds, seconds and minutes. Moreover, we proposed a closed-loop DBS strategy based on a proportional-integral-differential (PID) controller with the dynamic control target. In addition, the bounds of stimulation amplitude increments and different parameters of the dynamic target were considered to meet the clinical constraints. The performance of the proposed closed-loop strategy, including beta power modulation accuracy, mean stimulation amplitude, and stimulation variation were calculated to determine the PID parameters and evaluate neuromodulation performance in the computational dynamic mean-field model.Main results. The Results show that the dynamic basal ganglia-thalamus-cortical mean-field model simulated the medication rhythm with the fasted and the slowest rate. The dynamic control target reflected the temporal variation in beta power from milliseconds to minutes. With the proposed closed-loop strategy, the beta power tracked the dynamic target with a smoother stimulation sequence compared with closed-loop DBS with the constant target. Furthermore, the beta power could be modulated to track the control target under different long-term targets, modulation strengths, and bounds of the stimulation increment.Significance. This work provides a new method of closed-loop DBS for multi-timescale beta power modulation with clinical constraints.

Abstract
Existing methods for studying neural circuits and treating neurological disorders are typically based on physical and chemical cues to manipulate and record neural activities. These approaches often involve predefined, rigid, and unchangeable signal patterns, which cannot be adjusted in real time according to the patient's condition or neural activities. With the continuous development of neural interfaces, conducting in vivo research on adaptive and modifiable treatments for neurological diseases and neural circuits is now possible. In this review, current and potential integration of various modalities to achieve precise, closed-loop modulation, and sensing in neural systems are summarized. Advanced materials, devices, or systems that generate or detect electrical, magnetic, optical, acoustic, or chemical signals are highlighted and utilized to interact with neural cells, tissues, and networks for closed-loop interrogation. Further, the significance of developing closed-loop techniques for diagnostics and treatment of neurological disorders such as epilepsy, depression, rehabilitation of spinal cord injury patients, and exploration of brain neural circuit functionality is elaborated.

Abstract
Introduction: Closed-loop control of deep brain stimulation (DBS) is beneficial for effective and automatic treatment of various neurological disorders like Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). Manual (open-loop) DBS programming solely based on clinical observations relies on neurologists' expertise and patients' experience. Continuous stimulation in open-loop DBS may decrease battery life and cause side effects. On the contrary, a closed-loop DBS system uses a feedback biomarker/signal to track worsening (or improving) of patients' symptoms and offers several advantages compared to the open-loop DBS system. Existing closed-loop DBS control systems do not incorporate physiological mechanisms underlying DBS or symptoms, e.g., how DBS modulates dynamics of synaptic plasticity. Methods: In this work, we propose a computational framework for development of a model-based DBS controller where a neural model can describe the relationship between DBS and neural activity and a polynomial-based approximation can estimate the relationship between neural and behavioral activities. A controller is used in our model in a quasi-real-time manner to find DBS patterns that significantly reduce the worsening of symptoms. By using the proposed computational framework, these DBS patterns can be tested clinically by predicting the effect of DBS before delivering it to the patient. We applied this framework to the problem of finding optimal DBS frequencies for essential tremor given electromyography (EMG) recordings solely. Building on our recent network model of ventral intermediate nuclei (Vim), the main surgical target of the tremor, in response to DBS, we developed neural model simulation in which physiological mechanisms underlying Vim-DBS are linked to symptomatic changes in EMG signals. By using a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, we showed that a closed-loop system can track EMG signals and adjust the stimulation frequency of Vim-DBS so that the power of EMG reaches a desired control target. Results and discussion: We demonstrated that the model-based DBS frequency aligns well with that used in clinical studies. Our model-based closed-loop system is adaptable to different control targets and can potentially be used for different diseases and personalized systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Enhanced beta oscillations in cortical-basal ganglia (BG) thalamic circuitries have been linked to clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) reduces beta band activity in BG regions, whereas little is known about activity in cortical regions. In this study, we investigated the effect of STN DBS on the spectral power of oscillatory activity in the motor cortex (MCtx) and sensorimotor cortex (SMCtx) by recording via an electrocorticogram (ECoG) array in free-moving 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesioned rats and sham-lesioned controls. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-350 g) were injected either with 6-OHDA or with saline in the right medial forebrain bundle, under general anesthesia. A stimulation electrode was then implanted in the ipsilateral STN, and an ECoG array was placed subdurally above the MCtx and SMCtx areas. Six days after the second surgery, the free-moving rats were individually recorded in three conditions: 1) basal activity, 2) during STN DBS, and 3) directly after STN DBS. RESULTS In 6-OHDA-lesioned rats (N = 8), the relative power of theta band activity was reduced, whereas activity of broad-range beta band (12-30 Hz) along with two different subbeta bands, that is, low (12-30 Hz) and high (20-30 Hz) beta band and gamma band, was higher in MCtx and SMCtx than in sham-lesioned controls (N = 7). This was, to some extent, reverted toward control level by STN DBS during and after stimulation. No major differences were found between contacts of the electrode grid or between MCtx and SMCtx. CONCLUSION Loss of nigrostriatal dopamine leads to abnormal oscillatory activity in both MCtx and SMCtx, which is compensated by STN stimulation, suggesting that parkinsonism-related oscillations in the cortex and BG are linked through their anatomic connections.

Neuromodulation 2024; 27:476-488. [PMID: 37245140 DOI: 10.1016/j.neurom.2023.03.018] [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: 12/19/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 05/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Closed-loop adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) continuously adjusts stimulation parameters, with the potential to improve efficacy and reduce side effects of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD). Rodent models can provide an effective platform for testing aDBS algorithms and establishing efficacy before clinical investigation. In this study, we compare two aDBS algorithms, on-off and proportional modulation of DBS amplitude, with conventional DBS in hemiparkinsonian rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS DBS of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) was delivered wirelessly in freely moving male and female hemiparkinsonian (N = 7) and sham (N = 3) Wistar rats. On-off and proportional aDBS, based on STN local field potential beta power, were compared with conventional DBS and three control stimulation algorithms. Behavior was assessed during cylinder tests (CT) and stepping tests (ST). Successful model creation was confirmed via apomorphine-induced rotation test and Tyrosine Hydroxylase-immunocytochemistry. Electrode location was histologically confirmed. Data were analyzed using linear mixed models. RESULTS Contralateral paw use in parkinsonian rats was reduced to 20% and 25% in CT and ST, respectively. Conventional, on-off, and proportional aDBS significantly improved motor function, restoring contralateral paw use to approximately 45% in both tests. No improvement in motor behavior was observed with either randomly applied on-off or low-amplitude continuous stimulation. Relative STN beta power was suppressed during DBS. Relative power in the alpha and gamma bands decreased and increased, respectively. Therapeutically effective adaptive DBS used approximately 40% less energy than did conventional DBS. CONCLUSIONS Adaptive DBS, using both on-off and proportional control schemes, is as effective as conventional DBS in reducing motor symptoms of PD in parkinsonian rats. Both aDBS algorithms yield substantial reductions in stimulation power. These findings support using hemiparkinsonian rats as a viable model for testing aDBS based on beta power and provide a path to investigate more complex closed-loop algorithms in freely behaving animals.

At home adaptive dual target deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease with proportional control. Brain 2024; 147:911-922. [PMID: 38128546 PMCID: PMC10907084 DOI: 10.1093/brain/awad429] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 11/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Continuous deep brain stimulation (cDBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) or globus pallidus is an effective treatment for the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. The relative benefit of one region over the other is of great interest but cannot usually be compared in the same patient. Simultaneous DBS of both regions may synergistically increase the therapeutic benefit. Continuous DBS is limited by a lack of responsiveness to dynamic, fluctuating symptoms intrinsic to the disease. Adaptive DBS (aDBS) adjusts stimulation in response to biomarkers to improve efficacy, side effects, and efficiency. We combined bilateral DBS of both STN and globus pallidus (dual target DBS) in a prospective within-participant, clinical trial in six patients with Parkinson's disease (n = 6, 55-65 years, n = 2 females). Dual target cDBS was tested for Parkinson's disease symptom control annually over 2 years, measured by motor rating scales, on time without dyskinesia, and medication reduction. Random amplitude experiments probed system dynamics to estimate parameters for aDBS. We then implemented proportional-plus-integral aDBS using a novel distributed (off-implant) architecture. In the home setting, we collected tremor and dyskinesia scores as well as individualized β and DBS amplitudes. Dual target cDBS reduced motor symptoms as measured by Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) to a greater degree than either region alone (P < 0.05, linear mixed model) in the cohort. The amplitude of β-oscillations in the STN correlated to the speed of hand grasp movements for five of six participants (P < 0.05, Pearson correlation). Random amplitude experiments provided insight into temporal windowing to avoid stimulation artefacts and demonstrated a correlation between STN β amplitude and DBS amplitude. Proportional plus integral control of aDBS reduced average power, while preserving UPDRS III scores in the clinic (P = 0.28, Wilcoxon signed rank), and tremor and dyskinesia scores during blinded testing at home (n = 3, P > 0.05, Wilcoxon ranked sum). In the home setting, DBS power reductions were slight but significant. Dual target cDBS may offer an improvement in treatment of motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease over DBS of either the STN or globus pallidus alone. When combined with proportional plus integral aDBS, stimulation power may be reduced, while preserving the increased benefit of dual target DBS.

Abstract
In 2023, the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Health (NIH) brought together engineers, scientists, and clinicians by sponsoring a conference on computational modelling in neurorehabiilitation. To facilitate multidisciplinary collaborations and improve patient care, in this perspective piece we identify where and how computational modelling can support neurorehabilitation. To address the where, we developed a patient-in-the-loop framework that uses multiple and/or continual measurements to update diagnostic and treatment model parameters, treatment type, and treatment prescription, with the goal of maximizing clinically-relevant functional outcomes. This patient-in-the-loop framework has several key features: (i) it includes diagnostic and treatment models, (ii) it is clinically-grounded with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and patient involvement, (iii) it uses multiple or continual data measurements over time, and (iv) it is applicable to a range of neurological and neurodevelopmental conditions. To address the how, we identify state-of-the-art and highlight promising avenues of future research across the realms of sensorimotor adaptation, neuroplasticity, musculoskeletal, and sensory & pain computational modelling. We also discuss both the importance of and how to perform model validation, as well as challenges to overcome when implementing computational models within a clinical setting. The patient-in-the-loop approach offers a unifying framework to guide multidisciplinary collaboration between computational and clinical stakeholders in the field of neurorehabilitation.

Abstract
Introduction The clinical implementation of chronic electrophysiology-driven adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) algorithms in movement disorders requires reliable representation of motor and non-motor symptoms in electrophysiological biomarkers, throughout normal life (naturalistic). To achieve this, there is the need for high-resolution and -quality chronic objective and subjective symptom monitoring in parallel to biomarker recordings. To realize these recordings, an active participation and engagement of the investigated patients is necessary. To date, there has been little research into patient engagement strategies for DBS patients or chronic electrophysiological recordings. Concepts and results We here present our concept and the first results of a patient engagement strategy for a chronic DBS study. After discussing the current state of literature, we present objectives, methodology and consequences of the patient engagement regarding study design, data acquisition, and study infrastructure. Nine patients with Parkinson's disease and their caregivers participated in the meeting, and their input led to changes to our study design. Especially, the patient input helped us designing study-set-up meetings and support structures. Conclusion We believe that patient engagement increases compliance and study motivation through scientific empowerment of patients. While considering patient opinion on sensors or questionnaire questions may lead to more precise and reliable data acquisition, there was also a high demand for study support and engagement structures. Hence, we recommend the implementation of patient engagement in planning of chronic studies with complex designs, long recording durations or high demand for individual active study participation.

Abstract
Despite increasing prevalence and huge personal and societal burden, psychiatric diseases still lack treatments which can control symptoms for a large fraction of patients. Increasing insight into the neurobiology underlying these diseases has demonstrated wide-ranging aberrant activity and functioning in multiple brain circuits and networks. Together with varied presentation and symptoms, this makes one-size-fits-all treatment a challenge. There has been a resurgence of interest in the use of neurostimulation as a treatment for psychiatric diseases. Initial studies using continuous open-loop stimulation, in which clinicians adjusted stimulation parameters during patient visits, showed promise but also mixed results. Given the periodic nature and fluctuations of symptoms often observed in psychiatric illnesses, the use of device-driven closed-loop stimulation may provide more effective therapy. The use of a biomarker, which is correlated with specific symptoms, to deliver stimulation only during symptomatic periods allows for the personalized therapy needed for such heterogeneous disorders. Here, we provide the reader with background motivating the use of closed-loop neurostimulation for the treatment of psychiatric disorders. We review foundational studies of open- and closed-loop neurostimulation for neuropsychiatric indications, focusing on deep brain stimulation, and discuss key considerations when designing and implementing closed-loop neurostimulation.

Single threshold adaptive deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease depends on parameter selection, movement state and controllability of subthalamic beta activity. Brain Stimul 2024; 17:125-133.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an invasive treatment option for patients with Parkinson's disease. Recently, adaptive DBS (aDBS) systems have been developed, which adjust stimulation timing and amplitude in real-time. However, it is unknown how changes in parameters, movement states and the controllability of subthalamic beta activity affect aDBS performance. OBJECTIVE To characterize how parameter choice, movement state and controllability interactively affect the electrophysiological and behavioral response to single threshold aDBS. METHODS We recorded subthalamic local field potentials in 12 patients with Parkinson's disease receiving single threshold aDBS in the acute post-operative state. We investigated changes in two aDBS parameters: the onset time and the smoothing of real-time beta power. Electrophysiological patterns and motor performance were assessed while patients were at rest and during a simple motor task. We further studied the impact of controllability on aDBS performance by comparing patients with and without beta power modulation during continuous stimulation. RESULTS Our findings reveal that changes in the onset time control the extent of beta power suppression achievable with single threshold adaptive stimulation during rest. Behavioral data indicate that only specific parameter combinations yield a beneficial effect of single threshold aDBS. During movement, action induced beta power suppression reduces the responsivity of the closed loop algorithm. We further demonstrate that controllability of beta power is a prerequisite for effective parameter dependent modulation of subthalamic beta activity. CONCLUSION Our results highlight the interaction between single threshold aDBS parameter selection, movement state and controllability in driving subthalamic beta activity and motor performance. By this means, we identify directions for the further development of closed-loop DBS algorithms.

Abstract
A partial loss of effectiveness of deep brain stimulation of the ventral intermediate nucleus of the thalamus (VIM) has been reported in some patients with essential tremor (ET), possibly due to habituation to permanent stimulation. This study focused on the evolution of VIM local-field potentials (LFPs) data over time to assess the long-term feasibility of closed-loop therapy based on thalamic activity. We performed recordings of thalamic LFPs in 10 patients with severe ET using the ACTIVA™ PC + S (Medtronic plc.) allowing both recordings and stimulation in the same region. Particular attention was paid to describing the evolution of LFPs over time from 3 to 24 months after surgery when the stimulation was Off. We demonstrated a significant decrease in high-beta LFPs amplitude during movements inducing tremor in comparison to the rest condition 3 months after surgery (1.91 ± 0.89 at rest vs. 1.27 ± 1.37 µV2/Hz during posture/action for N = 8/10 patients; p = 0.010), 12 months after surgery (2.92 ± 1.75 at rest vs. 2.12 ± 1.78 µV2/Hz during posture/action for N = 7/10 patients; p = 0.014) and 24 months after surgery (2.32 ± 0.35 at rest vs 0.75 ± 0.78 µV2/Hz during posture/action for 4/6 patients; p = 0.017). Among the patients who exhibited a significant decrease of high-beta LFP amplitude when stimulation was Off, this phenomenon was observed at least twice during the follow-up. Although the extent of this decrease in high-beta LFPs amplitude during movements inducing tremor may vary over time, this thalamic biomarker of movement could potentially be usable for closed-loop therapy in the long term.

Abstract
Introduction Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting millions of patients. Closed-Loop Deep Brain Stimulation (CL-DBS) is a therapy that can alleviate the symptoms of PD. The CL-DBS system consists of an electrode sending electrical stimulation signals to a specific region of the brain and a battery-powered stimulator implanted in the chest. The electrical stimuli in CL-DBS systems need to be adjusted in real-time in accordance with the state of PD symptoms. Therefore, fast and precise monitoring of PD symptoms is a critical function for CL-DBS systems. However, the current CL-DBS techniques suffer from high computational demands for real-time PD symptom monitoring, which are not feasible for implanted and wearable medical devices. Methods In this paper, we present an energy-efficient neuromorphic PD symptom detector using memristive three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D-ICs). The excessive oscillation at beta frequencies (13-35 Hz) at the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is used as a biomarker of PD symptoms. Results Simulation results demonstrate that our neuromorphic PD detector, implemented with an 8-layer spiking Long Short-Term Memory (S-LSTM), excels in recognizing PD symptoms, achieving a training accuracy of 99.74% and a validation accuracy of 99.52% for a 75%-25% data split. Furthermore, we evaluated the improvement of our neuromorphic CL-DBS detector using NeuroSIM. The chip area, latency, energy, and power consumption of our CL-DBS detector were reduced by 47.4%, 66.63%, 65.6%, and 67.5%, respectively, for monolithic 3D-ICs. Similarly, for heterogeneous 3D-ICs, employing memristive synapses to replace traditional Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) resulted in reductions of 44.8%, 64.75%, 65.28%, and 67.7% in chip area, latency, and power usage. Discussion This study introduces a novel approach for PD symptom evaluation by directly utilizing spiking signals from neural activities in the time domain. This method significantly reduces the time and energy required for signal conversion compared to traditional frequency domain approaches. The study pioneers the use of neuromorphic computing and memristors in designing CL-DBS systems, surpassing SRAM-based designs in chip design area, latency, and energy efficiency. Lastly, the proposed neuromorphic PD detector demonstrates high resilience to timing variations in brain neural signals, as confirmed by robustness analysis.

Beta-triggered adaptive deep brain stimulation during reaching movement in Parkinson's disease. Brain 2023; 146:5015-5030. [PMID: 37433037 PMCID: PMC10690014 DOI: 10.1093/brain/awad233] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Subthalamic nucleus (STN) beta-triggered adaptive deep brain stimulation (ADBS) has been shown to provide clinical improvement comparable to conventional continuous DBS (CDBS) with less energy delivered to the brain and less stimulation induced side effects. However, several questions remain unanswered. First, there is a normal physiological reduction of STN beta band power just prior to and during voluntary movement. ADBS systems will therefore reduce or cease stimulation during movement in people with Parkinson's disease and could therefore compromise motor performance compared to CDBS. Second, beta power was smoothed and estimated over a time period of 400 ms in most previous ADBS studies, but a shorter smoothing period could have the advantage of being more sensitive to changes in beta power, which could enhance motor performance. In this study, we addressed these two questions by evaluating the effectiveness of STN beta-triggered ADBS using a standard 400 ms and a shorter 200 ms smoothing window during reaching movements. Results from 13 people with Parkinson's disease showed that reducing the smoothing window for quantifying beta did lead to shortened beta burst durations by increasing the number of beta bursts shorter than 200 ms and more frequent switching on/off of the stimulator but had no behavioural effects. Both ADBS and CDBS improved motor performance to an equivalent extent compared to no DBS. Secondary analysis revealed that there were independent effects of a decrease in beta power and an increase in gamma power in predicting faster movement speed, while a decrease in beta event related desynchronization (ERD) predicted quicker movement initiation. CDBS suppressed both beta and gamma more than ADBS, whereas beta ERD was reduced to a similar level during CDBS and ADBS compared with no DBS, which together explained the achieved similar performance improvement in reaching movements during CDBS and ADBS. In addition, ADBS significantly improved tremor compared with no DBS but was not as effective as CDBS. These results suggest that STN beta-triggered ADBS is effective in improving motor performance during reaching movements in people with Parkinson's disease, and that shortening of the smoothing window does not result in any additional behavioural benefit. When developing ADBS systems for Parkinson's disease, it might not be necessary to track very fast beta dynamics; combining beta, gamma, and information from motor decoding might be more beneficial with additional biomarkers needed for optimal treatment of tremor.

Abstract
Over the past three decades, deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD) has been applied in a continuous open loop fashion, unresponsive to changes in a given patient's state or symptoms over the course of a day. Advances in recent neurostimulator technology enable the possibility for closed loop adaptive DBS (aDBS) for PD as a treatment option in the near future in which stimulation adjusts in a demand-based manner. Although aDBS offers great clinical potential for treatment of motor symptoms, it also brings with it the need for better understanding how to implement it in order to maximize its benefits. In this perspective, we outline considerations for programing several key parameters for aDBS based on our experience across several aDBS-capable research neurostimulators. At its core, aDBS hinges on successful identification of relevant biomarkers that can be measured reliably in real-time working in cohesion with a control policy that governs stimulation adaption. However, auxiliary parameters such as the window in which stimulation is allowed to adapt, as well as the rate it changes, can be just as impactful on performance and vary depending on the control policy and patient. A standardize protocol for programming aDBS will be crucial to ensuring its effective application in clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Local field potential (LFP) recordings from deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes are commonly used in research analyses, and are beginning to be used in clinical practice. Computational models of DBS LFPs provide tools for investigating the biophysics and neural synchronization that underlie LFP signals. However, technical standards for DBS LFP model parameterization remain to be established. Therefore, the goal of this study was to evaluate the role of the volume conductor (VC) model complexity on simulated LFP signals in the subthalamic nucleus (STN). APPROACH We created a detailed human head VC model that explicitly represented the inhomogeneity and anisotropy associated with 12 different tissue structures. This VC model represented our "gold standard" for technical detail and electrical realism. We then incrementally decreased the complexity of the VC model and quantified the impact on the simulated LFP recordings. Identical STN neural source activity was used when comparing the different VC model variants. Results Ignoring tissue anisotropy reduced the simulated LFP amplitude by ~12%, while eliminating soft tissue heterogeneity had a negligible effect on the recordings. Simplification of the VC model to consist of a single homogenous isotropic tissue medium with a conductivity of 0.215 S/m contributed an additional ~3% to the error. SIGNIFICANCE Highly detailed VC models do generate different results than simplified VC models. However, with errors in the range of ~15%, the use of a well-parameterized simple VC model is likely to be acceptable in most contexts for DBS LFP modeling.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective therapy for various neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders, involving chronic implantation of electrodes into target brain regions for electrical stimulation delivery. Despite its safety and efficacy, DBS remains an underutilized therapy. Advances in the field of DBS, including in technology, mechanistic understanding, and applications have the potential to expand access and use of DBS, while also improving clinical outcomes. Developments in DBS technology, such as MRI compatibility and bidirectional DBS systems capable of sensing neural activity while providing therapeutic stimulation, have enabled advances in our understanding of DBS mechanisms and its application. In this review, we summarize recent work exploring DBS modulation of target networks. We also cover current work focusing on improved programming and the development of novel stimulation paradigms that go beyond current standards of DBS, many of which are enabled by sensing-enabled DBS systems and have the potential to expand access to DBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional deep brain stimulation (DBS) at fixed regular frequencies (>100 Hz) is effective in treating motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Temporally non-regular patterns of DBS are a new parameter space that may help increase efficacy and efficiency. OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of temporally non-regular patterns of DBS to traditional regularly-spaced pulses. METHODS We simultaneously recorded local field potentials (LFP) and monitored motor symptoms (tremor and bradykinesia) in persons with PD during DBS in subthalamic nucleus (STN). We quantified both oscillatory activity and DBS local evoked potentials (DLEPs) from the LFP. RESULTS Temporally non-regular patterns were as effective as traditional pulse patterns in modulating motor symptoms, oscillatory activity, and DLEPs. Moreover, one of our novel patterns enabled recording of longer duration DLEPs during clinically effective stimulation. CONCLUSIONS Stimulation gaps of 50 ms can be used to increase efficiency and to enable regular assessment of long-duration DLEPs while maintaining effective symptom management. This may be a promising paradigm for closed-loop DBS with biomarker assessment during the gaps.

Abstract
Objective. Closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) methods for Parkinson's disease (PD) to-date modulate either stimulation amplitude or frequency to control a single biomarker. While good performance has been demonstrated for symptoms that are correlated with the chosen biomarker, suboptimal regulation can occur for uncorrelated symptoms or when the relationship between biomarker and symptom varies. Control of stimulation-induced side-effects is typically not considered.Approach.A multivariable control architecture is presented to selectively target suppression of either tremor or subthalamic nucleus beta band oscillations. DBS pulse amplitude and duration are modulated to maintain amplitude below a threshold and avoid stimulation of distal large diameter axons associated with stimulation-induced side effects. A supervisor selects between a bank of controllers which modulate DBS pulse amplitude to control rest tremor or beta activity depending on the level of muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity detected. A secondary controller limits pulse amplitude and modulates pulse duration to target smaller diameter axons lying close to the electrode. The control architecture was investigated in a computational model of the PD motor network which simulated the cortico-basal ganglia network, motoneuron pool, EMG and muscle force signals.Main results.Good control of both rest tremor and beta activity was observed with reduced power delivered when compared with conventional open loop stimulation, The supervisor avoided over- or under-stimulation which occurred when using a single controller tuned to one biomarker. When DBS amplitude was constrained, the secondary controller maintained the efficacy of stimulation by increasing pulse duration to compensate for reduced amplitude. Dual parameter control delivered effective control of the target biomarkers, with additional savings in the power delivered.Significance.Non-linear multivariable control can enable targeted suppression of motor symptoms for PD patients. Moreover, dual parameter control facilitates automatic regulation of the stimulation therapeutic dosage to prevent overstimulation, whilst providing additional power savings.

Abstract
Neuropsychiatric mood and motivation symptoms (depression, anxiety, apathy, impulse control disorders) in Parkinson's disease (PD) are highly disabling, difficult to treat and exacerbated by current medications and deep brain stimulation therapies. High-resolution intracranial recording techniques have the potential to undercover the network dysfunction and cognitive processes that drive these symptoms, towards a principled re-tuning of circuits. We highlight intracranial recording as a valuable tool for mapping and desegregating neural networks and their contribution to mood, motivation and behavioral symptoms, via the ability to dissect multiplexed overlapping spatial and temporal neural components. This technique can be powerfully combined with behavioral paradigms and emerging computational techniques to model underlying latent behavioral states. We review the literature of intracranial recording studies investigating mood, motivation and behavioral symptomatology with reference to 1) emotional processing, 2) executive control 3) subjective valuation (reward & cost evaluation) 4) motor control and 5) learning and updating. This reveals associations between different frequency specific network activities and underlying cognitive processes of reward decision making and action control. If validated, these signals represent potential computational biomarkers of motivational and behavioural states and could lead to principled therapy development for mood, motivation and behavioral symptoms in PD.

Abstract
The role of thalamocortical circuits in memory has driven a recent burst of scholarship, especially in animal models. Investigating this circuitry in humans is more challenging. And yet, the development of new recording and stimulation technologies deployed for clinical indications has created novel opportunities for data collection to elucidate the cognitive roles of thalamic structures. These technologies include stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG), deep brain stimulation (DBS), and responsive neurostimulation (RNS), all of which have been applied to memory-related thalamic regions, specifically for seizure localization and treatment. This review seeks to summarize the existing applications of neuromodulation of the anterior thalamic nuclei (ANT) and highlight several devices and their capabilities that can allow cognitive researchers to design experiments to assay its functionality. Our goal is to introduce to investigators, who may not be familiar with these clinical devices, the capabilities, and limitations of these tools for understanding the neurophysiology of the ANT as it pertains to memory and other behaviors. We also briefly cover the targeting of other thalamic regions including the centromedian (CM) nucleus, dorsomedial (DM) nucleus, and pulvinar, with associated potential avenues of experimentation.

Abstract
This article introduces an adaptive control scheme with a feedback delay, specifically designed for controlling partial networks, to achieve desynchronization in a coupled network with two or multiple clusters. The proposed scheme's effectiveness is validated through several representative examples of coupled neuronal networks with two interconnected clusters. The efficacy of this scheme is attributed to the rigorous and numerical analyses on the corresponding transcendental characteristic equation, which includes time delay and other network parameters. In addition to investigating the impact of time delay and inter-connectivity on the stability of an incoherent state, we also rigorously find that controlling only one cluster cannot realize the desynchronization in the coupled oscillators within three or more clusters. All these, we believe, can deepen the understanding of the deep brain stimulation techniques presently used in the clinical treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and suggest future avenues for enhancing these clinical techniques through adaptive feedback settings.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation is a widely used therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD) but currently lacks dynamic responsiveness to changing clinical and neural states. Feedback control has the potential to improve therapeutic effectiveness, but optimal control strategy and additional benefits of "adaptive" neurostimulation are unclear. We implemented adaptive subthalamic nucleus stimulation, controlled by subthalamic or cortical signals, in three PD patients (five hemispheres) during normal daily life. We identified neurophysiological biomarkers of residual motor fluctuations using data-driven analyses of field potentials over a wide frequency range and varying stimulation amplitudes. Narrowband gamma oscillations (65-70 Hz) at either site emerged as the best control signal for sensing during stimulation. A blinded, randomized trial demonstrated improved motor symptoms and quality of life compared to clinically optimized standard stimulation. Our approach highlights the promise of personalized adaptive neurostimulation based on data-driven selection of control signals and may be applied to other neurological disorders.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Subthalamic nucleus (STN) beta activity (13-30 Hz) is the most accepted biomarker for adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) for Parkinson's disease (PD). We hypothesize that different frequencies within the beta range may exhibit distinct temporal dynamics and, as a consequence, different relationships to motor slowing and adaptive stimulation patterns. We aim to highlight the need for an objective method to determine the aDBS feedback signal. METHODS STN LFPs were recorded in 15 PD patients at rest and while performing a cued motor task. The impact of beta bursts on motor performance was assessed for different beta candidate frequencies: the individual frequency strongest associated with motor slowing, the individual beta peak frequency, the frequency most modulated by movement execution, as well as the entire-, low- and high beta band. How these candidate frequencies differed in their bursting dynamics and theoretical aDBS stimulation patterns was further investigated. RESULTS The individual motor slowing frequency often differs from the individual beta peak or beta-related movement-modulation frequency. Minimal deviations from a selected target frequency as feedback signal for aDBS leads to a substantial drop in the burst overlapping and in the alignment of the theoretical onset of stimulation triggers (to ∼ 75% for 1 Hz, to ∼ 40% for 3 Hz deviation). CONCLUSIONS Clinical-temporal dynamics within the beta frequency range are highly diverse and deviating from a reference biomarker frequency can result in altered adaptive stimulation patterns. SIGNIFICANCE A clinical-neurophysiological interrogation could be helpful to determine the patient-specific feedback signal for aDBS.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a widely used clinical therapy that modulates neuronal firing in subcortical structures, eliciting downstream network effects. Its effectiveness is determined by electrode geometry and location as well as adjustable stimulation parameters including pulse width, interstimulus interval, frequency, and amplitude. These parameters are often determined empirically during clinical or intraoperative programming and can be altered to an almost unlimited number of combinations. Conventional high-frequency stimulation uses a continuous high-frequency square-wave pulse (typically 130-160 Hz), but other stimulation patterns may prove efficacious, such as continuous or bursting theta-frequencies, variable frequencies, and coordinated reset stimulation. Here we summarize the current landscape and potential clinical applications for novel stimulation patterns.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by distinct motor phenomena that are expressed asynchronously. Understanding the neurophysiological correlates of these motor states could facilitate monitoring of disease progression and allow improved assessments of therapeutic efficacy, as well as enable optimal closed-loop neuromodulation. We examined neural activity in the basal ganglia and cortex of 31 subjects with PD during a quantitative motor task to decode tremor and bradykinesia - two cardinal motor signs of PD - and relatively asymptomatic periods of behavior. Support vector regression analysis of microelectrode and electrocorticography recordings revealed that tremor and bradykinesia had nearly opposite neural signatures, while effective motor control displayed unique, differentiating features. The neurophysiological signatures of these motor states depended on the signal type and location. Cortical decoding generally outperformed subcortical decoding. Within the subthalamic nucleus (STN), tremor and bradykinesia were better decoded from distinct subregions. These results demonstrate how to leverage neurophysiology to more precisely treat PD.

Abstract
The neurophysiological mechanisms in the human amygdala that underlie post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) remain poorly understood. In a first-of-its-kind pilot study, we recorded intracranial electroencephalographic data longitudinally (over one year) in two male individuals with amygdala electrodes implanted for the management of treatment-resistant PTSD (TR-PTSD) under clinical trial NCT04152993. To determine electrophysiological signatures related to emotionally aversive and clinically relevant states (trial primary endpoint), we characterized neural activity during unpleasant portions of three separate paradigms (negative emotional image viewing, listening to recordings of participant-specific trauma-related memories, and at-home-periods of symptom exacerbation). We found selective increases in amygdala theta (5-9 Hz) bandpower across all three negative experiences. Subsequent use of elevations in low-frequency amygdala bandpower as a trigger for closed-loop neuromodulation led to significant reductions in TR-PTSD symptoms (trial secondary endpoint) following one year of treatment as well as reductions in aversive-related amygdala theta activity. Altogether, our findings provide early evidence that elevated amygdala theta activity across a range of negative-related behavioral states may be a promising target for future closed-loop neuromodulation therapies in PTSD.

Abstract
Closed-loop adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) can deliver individualized therapy at an unprecedented temporal precision for neurological disorders. This has the potential to lead to a breakthrough in neurotechnology, but the translation to clinical practice remains a significant challenge. Via bidirectional implantable brain-computer-interfaces that have become commercially available, aDBS can now sense and selectively modulate pathophysiological brain circuit activity. Pilot studies investigating different aDBS control strategies showed promising results, but the short experimental study designs have not yet supported individualized analyses of patient-specific factors in biomarker and therapeutic response dynamics. Notwithstanding the clear theoretical advantages of a patient-tailored approach, these new stimulation possibilities open a vast and mostly unexplored parameter space, leading to practical hurdles in the implementation and development of clinical trials. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the neurophysiological and neurotechnological aspects related to aDBS is crucial to develop evidence-based treatment regimens for clinical practice. Therapeutic success of aDBS will depend on the integrated development of strategies for feedback signal identification, artifact mitigation, signal processing, and control policy adjustment, for precise stimulation delivery tailored to individual patients. The present review introduces the reader to the neurophysiological foundation of aDBS for Parkinson's disease (PD) and other network disorders, explains currently available aDBS control policies, and highlights practical pitfalls and difficulties to be addressed in the upcoming years. Finally, it highlights the importance of interdisciplinary clinical neurotechnological research within and across DBS centers, toward an individualized patient-centered approach to invasive brain stimulation. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with a heavy burden on patients, families, and society. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) can improve the symptoms of PD patients for whom medication is insufficient. However, current open-loop uninterrupted conventional DBS (cDBS) has inherent limitations, such as adverse effects, rapid battery consumption, and a need for frequent parameter adjustment. To overcome these shortcomings, adaptive DBS (aDBS) was proposed to provide responsive optimized stimulation for PD. This topic has attracted scientific interest, and a growing body of preclinical and clinical evidence has shown its benefits. However, both achievements and challenges have emerged in this novel field. To date, only limited reviews comprehensively analyzed the full framework and procedures for aDBS implementation. Herein, we review current preclinical and clinical data on aDBS for PD to discuss the full procedures for its achievement and to provide future perspectives on this treatment.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established approach to treating medication-refractory neurological disorders and holds promise for treating psychiatric disorders. Despite strong open-label results in extremely refractory patients, DBS has struggled to meet endpoints in randomized controlled trials. A major challenge is stimulation "dosing"-DBS systems have many adjustable parameters, and clinicians receive little feedback on whether they have chosen the correct parameters for an individual patient. Multiple groups have proposed closed loop technologies as a solution. These systems sense electrical activity, identify markers of an (un)desired state, then automatically deliver or adjust stimulation to alter that electrical state. Closed loop DBS has been successfully deployed in movement disorders and epilepsy. The availability of that technology, as well as advances in opportunities for invasive research with neurosurgical patients, has yielded multiple pilot demonstrations in psychiatric illness. Those demonstrations split into two schools of thought, one rooted in well-established diagnoses and symptom scales, the other in the more experimental Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework. Both are promising, and both are limited by the boundaries of current stimulation technology. They are in turn driving advances in implantable recording hardware, signal processing, and stimulation paradigms. The combination of these advances is likely to change both our understanding of psychiatric neurobiology and our treatment toolbox, though the timeframe may be limited by the realities of implantable device development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) has been reported to be an effective treatment for motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it remains unclear whether and in which motor domain aDBS provides greater/less benefits than conventional DBS (cDBS). OBJECTIVE To conduct a meta-analysis and systematic review to explore the improvement of the motor symptoms of PD patients undergoing aDBS and the comparison between aDBS and cDBS. METHODS Nineteen studies from PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library database were eligible for the main analysis. Twelve studies used quantitative plus qualitative analysis; seven studies were only qualitatively analyzed. The efficacy of aDBS was evaluated and compared to cDBS through overall motor function improvements, changes in symptoms of rigidity-bradykinesia, dyskinesia, tremor, and speech function, and total electrical energy delivered (TEED). The overall motor improvement and TEED were investigated through meta-analyses, while other variables were investigated by systematic review. RESULTS Quantitative analysis showed that aDBS, with a reduction of TEED (55% of that of cDBS), significantly improved motor functions (33.9%, p < 0.01) and may be superior to cDBS in overall motor improvement (p = 0.002). However, significant publication bias was detected regarding the superiority (p = 0.006, Egger's test). In the qualitative analysis, rigidity-bradykinesia, dyskinesia, and speech function outcomes after aDBS and cDBS were comparable. Beta-based aDBS may not be as efficient as cDBS for tremor control. CONCLUSIONS aDBS can effectively relieve the clinical symptoms of advanced PD as did cDBS, at least in acute trials, delivering less stimulation than cDBS. Specific symptoms including tremor and axial disability remain to be compared between aDBS and cDBS in long-term studies.

Morelli N, Summers RLS. Association of subthalamic beta frequency sub-bands to symptom severity in patients with Parkinson's disease: A systematic review. Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2023; 110:105364. [PMID: 36997437 DOI: 10.1016/j.parkreldis.2023.105364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Revised: 03/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/10/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Local field potentials (LFP), specifically beta (13-30Hz) frequency measures, have been found to be associated with motor dysfunction in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). A consensus on beta subband (low- and high-beta) relationships to clinical state or therapy response has yet to be determined. The objective of this review is to synthesize literature reporting the association of low- and high-beta characteristics to clinical ratings of motor symptoms in PwPD. METHODS A systematic search of existing literature was completed using EMBASE. Articles which collected subthalamic nucleus (STN) LFPs using macroelectrodes in PwPD, analyzed low- (13-20 Hz) and high-beta (21-35 Hz) bands, collected UPDRS-III, and reported correlational strength or predictive capacity of LFPs to UPDRS-III scores. RESULTS The initial search yielded 234 articles, with 11 articles achieving inclusion. Beta measures included power spectral density, peak characteristics, and burst characteristics. High-beta was a significant predictor of UPDRS-III responses to therapy in 5 (100%) articles. Low-beta was significantly associated with UPDRS-III total score in 3 (60%) articles. Low- and high-beta associations to UPDRS-III subscores were mixed. CONCLUSION This systematic review reinforces previous reports that beta band oscillatory measures demonstrate a consistent relationship to Parkinsonian motor symptoms and ability to predict motor response to therapy. Specifically, high-beta, demonstrated a consistent ability to predict UPDRS-III responses to common PD therapies, while low-beta measures were associated with general Parkinsonian symptom severity. Continued research is needed to determine which beta subband demonstrates the greatest association to motor symptom subtypes and potentially offers clinical utility toward LFP-guided DBS programming and adaptive DBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subthalamic nucleus (STN) beta (13 - 35 Hz) activity is a biomarker reflecting motor state in Parkinson's disease (PD). Adaptive deep brain stimulation (DBS) aims to use beta activity for therapeutic adjustments, but many aspects of beta activity in real-life situations are unknown. OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate Christmas-related influences on beta activity in PD. METHODS Differences in Christmas Day to nonfestive daily averages in chronic biomarker recordings in 4 PD patients with a sensing-enabled STN DBS implant were retrospectively analyzed. Sweet-spot and whole-brain network connectomic analyses were performed. RESULTS Beta activity was significantly reduced on Christmas Eve in all patients (4.00-9.00 p.m.: -12.30 ± 10.78%, P = 0.015). A sweet spot in the dorsolateral STN connected recording sites to motor, premotor, and supplementary motor cortices. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate that festive events can reduce beta biomarker activity. We conclude that circadian and holiday-related changes should be considered when tailoring adaptive DBS algorithms to patient demands. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
The deep brain stimulation (DBS) Think Tank X was held on August 17-19, 2022 in Orlando FL. The session organizers and moderators were all women with the theme women in neuromodulation. Dr. Helen Mayberg from Mt. Sinai, NY was the keynote speaker. She discussed milestones and her experiences in developing depression DBS. The DBS Think Tank was founded in 2012 and provides an open platform where clinicians, engineers and researchers (from industry and academia) can freely discuss current and emerging DBS technologies as well as the logistical and ethical issues facing the field. The consensus among the DBS Think Tank X speakers was that DBS has continued to expand in scope however several indications have reached the "trough of disillusionment." DBS for depression was considered as "re-emerging" and approaching a slope of enlightenment. DBS for depression will soon re-enter clinical trials. The group estimated that globally more than 244,000 DBS devices have been implanted for neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. This year's meeting was focused on advances in the following areas: neuromodulation in Europe, Asia, and Australia; cutting-edge technologies, closed loop DBS, DBS tele-health, neuroethics, lesion therapy, interventional psychiatry, and adaptive DBS.

Abstract
Introduction Parkinson's disease (PD) is a movement disorder characterized by the pathological beta band (15-30 Hz) neural oscillations within the basal ganglia (BG). It is shown that the suppression of abnormal beta oscillations is correlated with the improvement of PD motor symptoms, which is a goal of standard therapies including deep brain stimulation (DBS). To overcome the stimulation-induced side effects and inefficiencies of conventional DBS (cDBS) and to reduce the administered stimulation current, closed-loop adaptive DBS (aDBS) techniques were developed. In this method, the frequency and/or amplitude of stimulation are modulated based on various disease biomarkers. Methods Here, by computational modeling of a cortico-BG-thalamic network in normal and PD conditions, we show that closed-loop aDBS of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) with amplitude modulation leads to a more effective suppression of pathological beta oscillations within the parkinsonian BG. Results Our results show that beta band neural oscillations are restored to their normal range and the reliability of the response of the thalamic neurons to motor cortex commands is retained due to aDBS with amplitude modulation. Furthermore, notably less stimulation current is administered during aDBS compared with cDBS due to a closed-loop control of stimulation amplitude based on the STN local field potential (LFP) beta activity. Discussion Efficient models of closed-loop stimulation may contribute to the clinical development of optimized aDBS techniques designed to reduce potential stimulation-induced side effects of cDBS in PD patients while leading to a better therapeutic outcome.

Abstract
Closed-loop neuromodulation measures dynamic neural or physiological activity to optimize interventions for clinical and nonclinical behavioral, cognitive, wellness, attentional, or general task performance enhancement. Conventional closed-loop stimulation approaches can contain biased biomarker detection (decoders and error-based triggering) and stimulation-type application. We present and verify a novel deep learning framework for designing and deploying flexible, data-driven, automated closed-loop neuromodulation that is scalable using diverse datasets, agnostic to stimulation technology (supporting multi-modal stimulation: tACS, tDCS, tFUS, TMS), and without the need for personalized ground-truth performance data. Our approach is based on identified periods of responsiveness - detected states that result in a change in performance when stimulation is applied compared to no stimulation. To demonstrate our framework, we acquire, analyze, and apply a data-driven approach to our open sourced GX dataset, which includes concurrent physiological (ECG, EOG) and neuronal (EEG) measures, paired with continuous vigilance/attention-fatigue tracking, and High-Definition transcranial electrical stimulation (HD-tES). Our framework's decision process for intervention application identified 88.26% of trials as correct applications, showed potential improvement with varying stimulation types, or missed opportunities to stimulate, whereas 11.25% of trials were predicted to stimulate at inopportune times. With emerging datasets and stimulation technologies, our unifying and integrative framework; leveraging deep learning (Convolutional Neural Networks - CNNs); demonstrates the adaptability and feasibility of automated multimodal neuromodulation for both clinical and nonclinical applications.

Suppression of seizure in childhood absence epilepsy using robust control of deep brain stimulation: a simulation study. Sci Rep 2023; 13:461.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a promising technique to relieve the symptoms in patients with intractable seizures. Although the DBS therapy for seizure suppression dates back more than 40 years, determining stimulation parameters is a significant challenge to the success of this technique. One solution to this challenge with application in a real DBS system is to design a closed-loop control system to regulate the stimulation intensity using computational models of epilepsy automatically. The main goal of the current study is to develop a robust control technique based on adaptive fuzzy terminal sliding mode control (AFTSMC) for eliminating the oscillatory spiking behavior in childhood absence epilepsy (CAE) dynamical model consisting of cortical, thalamic relay, and reticular nuclei neurons. To this end, the membrane voltage dynamics of the three coupled neurons are considered as a three-input three-output nonlinear state delay system. A fuzzy logic system is developed to estimate the unknown nonlinear dynamics of the current and delayed states of the model embedded in the control input. Chattering-free control input (continuous DBS pulses) without any singularity problem is the superiority of the proposed control method. To guarantee the bounded stability of the closed-loop system in a finite time, the upper bounds of the external disturbance and minimum estimation errors are updated online with adaptive laws without any offline tuning phase. Simulation results are provided to show the robustness of AFTSMC in the presence of uncertainty and external disturbances.

Abstract
Beta-band activity in the subthalamic local field potential (LFP) is correlated with Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptom severity and is the therapeutic target of deep brain stimulation (DBS). While beta fluctuations in PD patients are well characterized on shorter timescales, it is not known how beta activity evolves around the diurnal cycle, outside a clinical setting. Here, we obtained chronic recordings (34 ± 13 days) of subthalamic beta power in PD patients implanted with the Percept DBS device during high-frequency DBS and analysed their diurnal properties as well as sensitivity to artifacts. Time of day explained 41 ± 9% of the variance in beta power (p < 0.001 in all patients), with increased beta during the day and reduced beta at night. Certain movements affected LFP quality, which may have contributed to diurnal patterns in some patients. Future DBS algorithms may benefit from taking such diurnal and artifactual fluctuations in beta power into account.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a life-changing treatment for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and gives the unique opportunity to directly explore how basal ganglia work. Despite the rapid technological innovation of the last years, the untapped potential of DBS is still high. AREAS COVERED. This review summarizes the developments in the mechanistic understanding of DBS and the potential clinical applications of cutting-edge technological advances. Rather than a univocal local mechanism, DBS exerts its therapeutic effects through several multimodal mechanisms and involving both local and network-wide structures, although crucial questions remain unexplained. Nonetheless, new insights in mechanistic understanding of DBS in PD have provided solid bases for advances in preoperative selection phase, prediction of motor and non-motor outcomes, leads placement and postoperative stimulation programming. EXPERT OPINION. DBS has not only strong evidence of clinical effectiveness in PD treatment, but technological advancements are revamping its role of neuromodulation of brain circuits and key to better understanding PD pathophysiology. In the next few years, the worldwide use of new technologies in clinical practice will provide large data to elucidate their role and to expand their applications for PD patients, providing useful insights to personalize DBS treatment and follow-up.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD). The most common sites targeted for DBS in PD are the globus pallidus internal (GPi) and subthalamic nucleus (STN). However, STN-DBS and GPi-DBS have limited improvement in some symptoms and even aggravate disease symptoms. Therefore, discovering new targets is more helpful for treating refractory symptoms of PD. Therefore, our study selected a new brain region, the lateral globus pallidus (GP), as the target of DBS, and the study found that GP-DBS can improve motor symptoms. It has been reported that the thalamic parafascicular (PF) nucleus is strongly related to PD pathology. Moreover, the PF nucleus and GP have very close direct and indirect fiber connections. However, whether GP-DBS can change the activity of the PF remains unclear. Therefore, in this study, we monitored the activity changes in the PF nucleus in PD rats during a quiet awake state after GP-DBS. We found that GP-DBS could reverse the electrical activity of the PF nucleus in PD model rats, including the discharge pattern of the neurons and the local field potential (0.7–12 and 12–70 Hz). Based on the results mentioned above, PF activity in PD model rats could be changed by GP-DBS. Thus, the normalization of PF neuronal activity may be a potential mechanism for GP-DBS in the treatment of PD; these findings lay the foundation for PD treatment strategies.
