Sugiyama S, Inui K, Ohi K, Shioiri T. The influence of novelty detection on the 40-Hz auditory steady-state response in schizophrenia: A novel hypothesis from meta-analysis. Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry 2024; 135:111096. [PMID: 39029650 DOI: 10.1016/j.pnpbp.2024.111096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2024] [Revised: 07/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/16/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
The 40-Hz auditory steady-state response (ASSR) is influenced not only by parameters such as attention, stimulus type, and analysis level but also by stimulus duration and inter-stimulus interval (ISI). In this meta-analysis, we examined these parameters in 33 studies that investigated 40-Hz ASSRs in patients with schizophrenia. The average Hedges' g random effect sizes were - 0.47 and - 0.43 for spectral power and phase-locking, respectively. We also found differences in ASSR measures based on stimulus duration and ISI. In particular, ISI was shown to significantly influence differences in the 40-Hz ASSR between healthy controls and patients with schizophrenia. We proposed a novel hypothesis focusing on the role of novelty detection, dependent on stimulus duration and ISI, as a critical factor in determining these differences. Specifically, longer stimulus durations and shorter ISIs under random presentation, or shorter stimulus durations and longer ISIs under repetitive presentation, decrease the 40-Hz ASSR in healthy controls. Patients with schizophrenia show minimal changes in response to stimulus duration and ISI, thus reducing the difference between controls and patients. This hypothesis can consistently explain most of the studies that have failed to show a reduction in 40-Hz ASSR in patients with schizophrenia. Increased novelty-related activity, reflected as an increase in auditory evoked potential components at stimulus onset, such as the N1, could suppress the 40-Hz ASSR, potentially reducing the peak measures of spectral power and phase-locking. To establish the 40-Hz ASSR as a truly valuable biomarker for schizophrenia, further systematic research using paradigms with various stimulus durations and ISIs is needed.

Abstract
Introduction To investigate the brain's cognitive process and perceptual holistic, we have developed a novel method that focuses on the informational attributes of stimuli. Methods We recorded EEG signals during visual and auditory perceptual cognition experiments and conducted ERP analyses to observe specific positive and negative components occurring after 400ms during both visual and auditory perceptual processes. These ERP components represent the brain's perceptual holistic processing activities, which we have named Information-Related Potentials (IRPs). We combined IRPs with machine learning methods to decode cognitive processes in the brain. Results Our experimental results indicate that IRPs can better characterize information processing, particularly perceptual holism. Additionally, we conducted a brain network analysis and found that visual and auditory perceptual holistic processing share consistent neural pathways. Discussion Our efforts not only demonstrate the specificity, significance, and reliability of IRPs but also reveal their great potential for future brain mechanism research and BCI applications.

Abstract
Introduction Processing the wealth of sensory information from the surrounding environment is a vital human function with the potential to develop learning, advance social interactions, and promote safety and well-being. Methods To elucidate underlying processes governing these activities we measured neurophysiological responses to patterned stimulus sequences during a sound categorization task to evaluate attention effects on implicit learning, sound categorization, and speech perception. Using a unique experimental design, we uncoupled conceptual categorical effects from stimulus-specific effects by presenting categorical stimulus tokens that did not physically repeat. Results We found effects of implicit learning, categorical habituation, and a speech perception bias when the sounds were attended, and the listeners performed a categorization task (task-relevant). In contrast, there was no evidence of a speech perception bias, implicit learning of the structured sound sequence, or repetition suppression to repeated within-category sounds (no categorical habituation) when participants passively listened to the sounds and watched a silent closed-captioned video (task-irrelevant). No indication of category perception was demonstrated in the scalp-recorded brain components when participants were watching a movie and had no task with the sounds. Discussion These results demonstrate that attention is required to maintain category identification and expectations induced by a structured sequence when the conceptual information must be extracted from stimuli that are acoustically distinct. Taken together, these striking attention effects support the theoretical view that top-down control is required to initiate expectations for higher level cognitive processing.

Neuropsychologia 2023; 188:108629. [PMID: 37356539 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2023.108629] [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: 03/08/2023] [Revised: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 06/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/27/2023]
Abstract
Recent studies show that the classical model based on axonal delay-lines may not explain interaural time difference (ITD) based spatial coding in humans. Instead, a population-code model called "opponent channels model" (OCM) has been suggested. This model comprises two competing channels respectively for the two auditory hemifields, each with a sigmoidal tuning curve. Event-related potentials (ERPs) to ITD-changes are used in some studies to test the predictions of this model by considering the sounds before and after the change as adaptor and probe stimuli, respectively. It is assumed in these studies that the former stimulus causes adaptation of the neurons selective to its side, and that the ERP N1-P2 response to the ITD-change is the specific response of the neurons with selectivity to the side of probe sound. However, these ERP components are known as a global, non-specific acoustic change complex of cortical origin evoked by any change in the auditory environment. It probably does not genuinely reflect the activity of some stimulus-specific neuronal units that have escaped the refractory effect of the preceding adaptor, which means a violation of the crucial assumption in an adaptor-probe paradigm. To assess this viewpoint, we conducted two experiments. In the first one, we recorded ERPs to abrupt lateralization shifts of click trains having various pre- and post-shift ITDs within the physiological range of -600μs to +600μs. Magnitudes of the ERP components P1, N1, and P2 to these ITD-shifts did not comply with the additive behavior of partial probe responses presumed for an adaptor-probe paradigm, casting doubt on the accuracy of testing sensory coding models by using ERPs to abrupt lateralization changes. Findings of the second experiment, involving ERPs to conjoint outwards/transverse shift stimuli also supported this conclusion.

Abstract
Decreased 40-Hz auditory steady-state response (ASSR) is believed to reflect abnormal gamma oscillation in patients with schizophrenia (SZ). However, previous studies have reported conflicting results due to variations in inter-stimulus interval (ISI) used. In this study, we aimed to investigate the influence of varying ISI on the 40-Hz ASSR, particularly for patients with SZ and healthy controls (HCs). Twenty-four SZ patients (aged 40.8 ± 13.9 years, male: n = 11) and 21 HCs (aged 33.3 ± 11.3 years, male: n = 8) were recruited. For every participant, 40-Hz ASSRs were acquired for three different stimulus types: 500, 2000, and 3500 ms of ISIs. Two conventional ASSR measures (total power and inter-trial coherence, ITC) were calculated. Several additional ASSR measures were also analyzed: (i) ISI-dependent power; (ii) power onset slope; (iii) power centroid latency; (iv) ISI-dependent ITC; (v) ITC onset slope (500, 2000, 3500 ms); (vi) ITC centroid latency (500, 2000, 3500 ms). As ISI increased, total power and ITC increased in patients with SZ but decreased in HCs. In addition, patients with SZ showed higher ISI-dependent ITC, which was positively correlated with the psychotic symptom severity. The abnormal ITC onset slope and centroid latency for the ISI-500 ms condition were associated with cognitive speed decline in patients with SZ. Our study confirmed that the 40-Hz ASSR could be severely influenced by ISI. Furthermore, our results showed that the additional ASSR measures (ISI-dependent ITC, ITC onset slope, ITC centroid latency) could represent psychotic symptom severity or impairment in cognitive function in patients with SZ.

Brain Stimul 2023; 16:982-989.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has been introduced as a non-invasive alternative to invasive vagus nerve stimulation (iVNS). While iVNS paired with tones has been highlighted as a potential effective therapy for the treatment of auditory disorders such as tinnitus, there is still scarce data available confirming the efficacy of non-invasive taVNS. Here, we assessed the effect of taVNS paired with acoustic stimuli on sensory-related electrophysiological responses. METHODS A total of 22 healthy participants were investigated with a taVNS tone-pairing paradigm using a within-subjects design. In a single session pure tones paired with either active taVNS or sham taVNS were repeatedly presented. Novel tones without electrical stimulation served as control condition. Auditory event related potentials and auditory cortex oscillations were compared before and after the tone pairing procedure between stimulation conditions. RESULTS From pre to post pairing, we observed a decrease in the N1 amplitude and in theta power to tones paired with sham taVNS while these electrophysiological measures remained stable for tones paired with active taVNS a pattern mirroring auditory sensory processing of novel, unpaired control tones. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate the efficacy of a short-term application of non-invasive taVNS to modulate auditory processing in healthy individuals and, thereby, have potential implications for interventions in auditory processing deficits.

Abstract
It is not known how Auditory-Evoked Responses (AERs) comprising Middle Latency Responses (MLRs) and Long Latency Responses (LLRs) are modulated by stimulus intensity and inter-stimulus interval (ISI) in an unpredictable auditory context. Further, intensity and ISI effects on MLR and LLR have never been assessed simultaneously in the same humans. To address this important question, thirty participants passively listened to a random sequence of auditory clicks of three possible intensities (65, 75, and 85 dB) at five possible ISI ranges (0.25 to 0.5 s, 0.5 to 1 s, 1 to 2 s, 2 to 4 s, 4 to 8 s) over four to seven one-hour sessions while EEG was recorded. P0, Na, Pa, Nb, and Pb MLR peaks and N1 and P2 LLR peaks were measured. MLRs P0 (p = .005), Pa (p = .021), and Pb (p = <.001) were modulated by intensity, while only MLR Pb (p = <.001) was modulated by ISI. LLR N1 and P2 were modulated by both intensity and ISI (all p values < .001). Intensity and ISI interacted at Pb, N1, and P2 (all p values < .001), with greater intensity effects at longer ISIs and greater ISI effects at louder intensities. Together, these results provide a comprehensive picture of intensity and ISI effects on AER across the entire thalamocortical auditory pathway, while controlling for stimulus predictability. Moreover, they highlight P0 as the earliest MLR response sensitive to stimulus intensity and Pb (~50 ms) as the earliest cortical response coding for ISIs above 250 ms and showing an interdependence between intensity and ISI effects.

Abstract
Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABRs) are a reliably robust measure of auditory thresholds in the mammalian hearing system and can be used to determine deficits in the auditory periphery. However, because these measures are limited to the lower stages of the auditory pathway, they are insensitive to changes or deficits that occur in the thalamic and cortical regions. Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials (CAEPs), as longer latency responses, capture information from these regions. However they are less frequently used as a diagnostic tool, particularly in rodent models, due to their inherent variability and subsequent difficult interpretation. The purpose of this study was to develop a consistent measure of subcutaneous CAEPs to auditory stimuli in mice and to determine their origin. To this end, we investigated the effect on the CAEPs recorded in response to different stimuli (noise, click, and tone (16 kHz) bursts), stimulus presentation rates (2/s, 6/s, 10/s) and electrode placements. Recordings were examined for robust CAEP components to determine the optimal experimental paradigm. We argue that CAEPs can measure robust and replicable cortical responses. Furthermore, by deactivating the auditory cortex with lidocaine we demonstrated that the contralateral cortex is the main contributor to the CAEP. Thus CAEP measurements could prove to be of value diagnostically in future for deficits in higher auditory areas.

Abstract
Recently, researchers have expanded the investigation into attentional biases toward positive stimuli; however, few studies have examined attentional biases toward positive auditory information. In three experiments, the present study employed an emotional spatial cueing task using emotional sounds as cues and auditory stimuli (Experiment 1) or visual stimuli (Experiment 2 and Experiment 3) as targets to explore whether auditory or visual spatial attention could be modulated by positive auditory cues. Experiment 3 also examined the temporal dynamics of cross-modal auditory bias toward positive natural sounds using event-related potentials (ERPs). The behavioral results of the three experiments consistently demonstrated that response times to targets were faster after positive auditory cues than they were after neutral auditory cues in the valid condition, indicating that healthy participants showed a selective auditory attentional bias (Experiment 1) and cross-modal attentional bias (Experiment 2 and Experiment 3) toward positive natural sounds. The results of Experiment 3 showed that N1 amplitudes were more negative after positive sounds than they were after neutral sounds, which further provided electrophysiological evidence that positive auditory information enhances attention at early stages in healthy adults. The results of the experiments performed in the present study suggest that humans exhibit an attentional bias toward positive natural sounds.

Abstract
Paired pulse suppression is an electrophysiological method used to evaluate sensory suppression and often applied to patients with psychiatric disorders. However, it remains unclear whether the suppression comes from specific inhibitory mechanisms, refractoriness, or fatigue. In the present study, to investigate mechanisms of suppression induced by an auditory paired pulse paradigm in 19 healthy subjects, magnetoencephalography was employed. The control stimulus was a train of 25-ms pure tones of 65 dB SPL for 2500 ms. In order to evoke a test response, the sound pressure of two consecutive tones at 2200 ms in the control sound was increased to 80 dB (Test stimulus). Similar sound pressure changes were also inserted at 1000 (CS2) and 1600 (CS1) ms as conditioning stimuli. Four stimulus conditions were used; (1) Test alone, (2) Test + CS1, (3) Test + CS1 + CS2, and (4) Test + CS2, with the four sound stimuli randomly presented and cortical responses averaged at least 100 times for each condition. The baseline-to-peak and peak-to-peak amplitudes of the P50m, N100m, and P200m components of the test response were compared among the four conditions. In addition, the response to CS1 was compared between conditions (2) and (3). The results showed significant test response suppression by CS1. While the response to CS1 was significantly suppressed when CS2 was present, it did not affect suppression of the test response by CS1. It was thus suggested that the amplitude of the response to a conditioning stimulus is not a factor to determine the inhibitory effects of the test response, indicating that suppression is due to an external influence on the excitatory pathway.

Abstract
The occurrence of a very infrequent and unattended auditory stimulus is highly salient and may result in an interruption of the frontoparietal network controlling processing priorities. Research has suggested that older adults may be unable to compute the level of salience of unattended stimulus inputs. A multi-channel EEG was recorded in 20 younger adults and 20 older adults. In different conditions, a single 80 dB SPL auditory stimulus was presented relatively rapidly, every 1.5 s or very slowly, every 12.0 s. Participants ignored the auditory stimuli while watching a silent video. When the stimuli were presented rapidly, group differences were not observed for the amplitudes of N1 and P2, which peaked at 100 and 180 ms respectively. When stimuli were presented very slowly, their amplitudes were much enhanced for younger adults, but did not increase for older adults. The failure to observe a large increase in the amplitude of N1 and P2 in older adults for very slowly presented auditory stimuli provides strong evidence of a dysfunction of the salience network in this group.
