Cerebellum-Cerebrum paired target magnetic stimulation on balance function and brain network of patients with stroke: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy pilot study. Front Neurol 2022; 13:1071328. [PMID: 36619935 PMCID: PMC9813387 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.1071328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) modulation over the cerebellum, primary motor cortex, and supplementary motor cortex individually can improve the balance function of patients with stroke. However, whether their combination could have a better balance modulation effect is uncertain. Therefore, we hypothesized that performing TMS over a combination of these targets can regulate the balance function of patients with stroke. We compared the effects of one-session TMS on eye-open and eye-closed balance conditions in patients with stroke, using different target pairs of unilateral cerebellar (CB-single), cerebellar-primary motor cortex (CB-M1), and cerebellar-supplementary motor area (CB-SMA) targets. A total of 31 patients with stroke were enrolled and randomly divided into three groups to receive single sessions of intermittent theta burst stimulation each. Functional near-infrared spectrum data on resting and standing task states (eye-open and eye-closed) and center of pressure parameters (eye-open and eye-closed) were collected before and after the intervention. Compared with the results in the CB-single group, five intergroup differences in the changes in the center of pressure parameters in the CB-M1 group and two significant differences in the CB-SMA group were observed after one session of intermittent theta burst stimulation. In the CB-SMA group, 12 out of the 14 parameters improved significantly in the EC condition after the intervention. Meanwhile, the functional near-infrared spectrum results showed that the CB-SMA group exhibited a significant inhibitory pattern in the resting-state functional connectivity, which was not observed in the other two groups. In conclusion, we believe that paired targeting of the CB-SMA can reshape the brain network and improve the balance function of patients with stroke.

[PMID: 36589558 PMCID: PMC9774841 DOI: 10.1364/boe.465699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) are brief neuronal discharges occurring between seizures in patients with epilepsy. The characterization of the hemodynamic response function (HRF) specific to IEDs could increase the accuracy of other functional imaging techniques to localize epileptiform activity, including functional near-infrared spectroscopy and functional magnetic resonance imaging. This study evaluated the possibility of using an intraoperative multispectral imaging system combined with electrocorticography (ECoG) to measure the average HRF associated with IEDs in eight patients. Inter-patient variability of the HRF is illustrated in terms of oxygenated hemoglobin peak latency, oxygenated hemoglobin increase/decrease following IEDs, and signal-to-noise ratio. A sub-region was identified using an unsupervised clustering algorithm in three patients that corresponded to the most active area identified by ECoG.

Abstract
Electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) stand as state-of-the-art techniques for non-invasive functional neuroimaging. On a unimodal basis, EEG has poor spatial resolution while presenting high temporal resolution. In contrast, fNIRS offers better spatial resolution, though it is constrained by its poor temporal resolution. One important merit shared by the EEG and fNIRS is that both modalities have favorable portability and could be integrated into a compatible experimental setup, providing a compelling ground for the development of a multimodal fNIRS-EEG integration analysis approach. Despite a growing number of studies using concurrent fNIRS-EEG designs reported in recent years, the methodological reference of past studies remains unclear. To fill this knowledge gap, this review critically summarizes the status of analysis methods currently used in concurrent fNIRS-EEG studies, providing an up-to-date overview and guideline for future projects to conduct concurrent fNIRS-EEG studies. A literature search was conducted using PubMed and Web of Science through 31 August 2021. After screening and qualification assessment, 92 studies involving concurrent fNIRS-EEG data recordings and analyses were included in the final methodological review. Specifically, three methodological categories of concurrent fNIRS-EEG data analyses, including EEG-informed fNIRS analyses, fNIRS-informed EEG analyses, and parallel fNIRS-EEG analyses, were identified and explained with detailed description. Finally, we highlighted current challenges and potential directions in concurrent fNIRS-EEG data analyses in future research.

Abstract
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is currently the only non-invasive method allowing for continuous long-term assessment of cerebral hemodynamic. We evaluate the feasibility of using continueous electroencephalgraphy (cEEG)-fNIRS to study the cortical hemodynamic associated with status epilepticus (SE), burst suppression (BS) and periodic discharges (PDs). Eleven adult comatose patients admitted to the neuroICU for SE were recruited, and cEEG-fNIRS monitoring was performed to measure concentration changes in oxygenated (HbO) and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HbR). Seizures were associated with a large increase HbO and a decrease in HbR whose durations were positively correlated with the seizures' length. Similar observations were made for hemodynamic changes associated with bursts, showing overall increases in HbO and decreases in HbR relative to the suppression periods. PDs were seen to induce widespread HbO increases and HbR decreases. These results suggest that normal neurovascular coupling is partially retained with the hemodynamic response to the detected EEG patterns in these patients. However, the shape and distribution of the response were highly variable. This work highlighted the feasibility of conducting long-term cEEG-fNIRS to monitor hemodynamic changes over a large cortical area in critically ill patients, opening new routes for better understanding and management of abnormal EEG patterns in neuroICU.

Abstract
In functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), deconvolution analysis of oxy and deoxy-hemoglobin concentration changes allows estimating specific hemodynamic response functions (HRF) elicited by neuronal activity, taking advantage of the fNIRS excellent temporal resolution. Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is also becoming the new standard reconstruction procedure as it is more accurate than the modified Beer Lambert law approach at the sensor level. The objective of this study was to assess the relevance of HRF deconvolution after DOT constrained along the cortical surface. We used local personalized fNIRS montages which consists in optimizing the position of fNIRS optodes to ensure maximal sensitivity to subject specific target brain regions. We carefully evaluated the accuracy of deconvolution when applied after DOT, using realistic simulations involving several HRF models at different signal to noise ratio (SNR) levels and on real data related to motor and visual tasks in healthy subjects and from spontaneous pathological activity in one patient with epilepsy. We demonstrated that DOT followed by deconvolution was able to accurately recover a large variability of HRFs over a large range of SNRs. We found good performances of deconvolution analysis for SNR levels usually encountered in our applications and we were able to reconstruct accurately the temporal dynamics of HRFs in real conditions.

Abstract
The functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology is an optical imaging technology that applies near-infrared light to measure the oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration alteration in cortical brain structures. It has the ability to directly measure changes in the blood oxygen level of the high temporal resolution associated with neural activation. Thus, it has been utilized in different neurological diseases, such as epilepsy, stroke, and Parkinson. The work of this paper will focus on the application of the fNIRS in the three neurological diseases and the principle of fNIRS. Moreover, the difficulties and challenges that the technology is currently experiencing have been discussed.

Abstract
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) modulates cortical neural activity and hemodynamics. Electrophysiological methods (electroencephalography-EEG) measure neural activity while optical methods (near-infrared spectroscopy-NIRS) measure hemodynamics coupled through neurovascular coupling (NVC). Assessment of NVC requires development of NIRS-EEG joint-imaging sensor montages that are sensitive to the tDCS affected brain areas. In this methods paper, we present a software pipeline incorporating freely available software tools that can be used to target vascular territories with tDCS and develop a NIRS-EEG probe for joint imaging of tDCS-evoked responses. We apply this software pipeline to target primarily the outer convexity of the brain territory (superficial divisions) of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). We then present a computational method based on Empirical Mode Decomposition of NIRS and EEG time series into a set of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs), and then perform a cross-correlation analysis on those IMFs from NIRS and EEG signals to model NVC at the lesional and contralesional hemispheres of an ischemic stroke patient. For the contralesional hemisphere, a strong positive correlation between IMFs of regional cerebral hemoglobin oxygen saturation and the log-transformed mean-power time-series of IMFs for EEG with a lag of about -15 s was found after a cumulative 550 s stimulation of anodal tDCS. It is postulated that system identification, for example using a continuous-time autoregressive model, of this coupling relation under tDCS perturbation may provide spatiotemporal discriminatory features for the identification of ischemia. Furthermore, portable NIRS-EEG joint imaging can be incorporated into brain computer interfaces to monitor tDCS-facilitated neurointervention as well as cortical reorganization.
