Abstract
The characterization of neural signatures within the somatosensory pathway is essential for elucidating the pathogenic mechanisms of central post-stroke pain (CPSP) and developing more effective treatments such as deep brain stimulation (DBS). We explored the characteristics of thalamic neural oscillations in response to varying pain levels under multi-day local field potential (LFP) recordings and examined the influences of continuous DBS on these thalamic activities. We recorded LFPs from the left ventral posterolateral thalamus (VPL) of a patient with CPSP in the resting state under both off- and on-stimulation conditions. We observed significant differences in the power spectral density (PSD) of different pain levels in the delta, theta and gamma frequency bands of the left VPL; 75Hz DBS significantly increased the PSD of delta and decreased the PSD of low-beta, while 130Hz DBS significantly reduced the PSD of theta and low-beta. Thalamic stimulation modulated the neural oscillations related to pain, and the changes in neural activities in response to stimulation could serve as quantitative indicators for pain relief.

Abstract
A CMOS analog front-end (AFE) local-field potential (LFP) chopper amplifier with stimulation artifact tolerance, improved right-leg driven (RLD) circuit, and improved auxiliary path is proposed. In the proposed CMOS AFE LFP chopper amplifier, common-mode artifact voltage (CMAV) and differential-mode artifact voltage (DMAV) removal using the analog template removal method are proposed to achieve good signal linearity during stimulation. An improved auxiliary path is employed to boost the input impedance and allow the negative stimulation artifact voltage passing through. The common-mode noise is suppressed by the improved RLD circuit. The chip is implemented in 0.18- μm CMOS technology and the total chip area is 5.46-mm2. With the improved auxiliary path, the measured input impedance is larger than 133 M[Formula: see text] in the signal bandwidth and reaches 8.2 G[Formula: see text] at DC. With the improved RLD circuit, the measured CMRR is 131 - 144 dB in the signal bandwidth. Under 60-μs pulse width and 130-Hz constant current stimulation (CCS) with ±1-V CMAV and ±50-mV DMAV, the measured THD at the SC Amp output of fabricated AFE LFP chopper amplifier is 1.28%. The measurement results of In vitro agar tests have shown that with ±1.6-mA CCS pulses injecting to agar, the measured THD is 1.69%. Experimental results of both electrical and agar tests have verified that the proposed AFE LFP chopper amplifier has good stimulation artifact tolerance. The proposed CMOS AFE LFP chopper amplifier with analog template removal method is suitable for real-time closed-loop deep drain stimulation (DBS) SoC applications.

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
A bidirectional brain interface with both "write" and "read" functions can be an important tool for fundamental studies and potential clinical treatments for neurological diseases. Herein, a miniaturized multifunctional fiber-based optoacoustic emitter (mFOE) is reported thatintegrates simultaneous optoacoustic stimulation for "write" and electrophysiology recording of neural circuits for "read". Because of the intrinsic ability of neurons to respond to acoustic wave, there is no requirement of the viral transfection. The orthogonality between optoacoustic waves and electrical field provides a solution to avoid the interference between electrical stimulation and recording. The stimulation function of the mFOE is first validated in cultured ratcortical neurons using calcium imaging. In vivo application of mFOE for successful simultaneous optoacoustic stimulation and electrical recording of brain activities is confirmed in mouse hippocampus in both acute and chronical applications up to 1 month. Minor brain tissue damage is confirmed after these applications. The capability of simultaneous neural stimulation and recording enabled by mFOE opens up new possibilities for the investigation of neural circuits and brings new insights into the study of ultrasound neurostimulation.

Robust Removal of Slow Artifactual Dynamics Induced by Deep Brain Stimulation in Local Field Potential Recordings Using SVD-Based Adaptive Filtering. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:719. [PMID: 37370650 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10060719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2023] [Revised: 06/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/09/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is widely used as a treatment option for patients with movement disorders. In addition to its clinical impact, DBS has been utilized in the field of cognitive neuroscience, wherein the answers to several fundamental questions underpinning the mechanisms of neuromodulation in decision making rely on the ways in which a burst of DBS pulses, usually delivered at a clinical frequency, i.e., 130 Hz, perturb participants' choices. It was observed that neural activities recorded during DBS were contaminated with large artifacts, which lasts for a few milliseconds, as well as a low-frequency (slow) signal (~1-2 Hz) that can persist for hundreds of milliseconds. While the focus of most of methods for removing DBS artifacts was on the former, the artifact removal capabilities of the slow signal have not been addressed. In this work, we propose a new method based on combining singular value decomposition (SVD) and normalized adaptive filtering to remove both large (fast) and slow artifacts in local field potentials, recorded during a cognitive task in which bursts of DBS were utilized. Using synthetic data, we show that our proposed algorithm outperforms four commonly used techniques in the literature, namely, (1) normalized least mean square adaptive filtering, (2) optimal FIR Wiener filtering, (3) Gaussian model matching, and (4) moving average. The algorithm's capabilities are further demonstrated by its ability to effectively remove DBS artifacts in local field potentials recorded from the subthalamic nucleus during a verbal Stroop task, highlighting its utility in real-world applications.

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.

J Neurol 2023; 270:1371-1387.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide a design analysis and guidance framework for the implementation of concurrent stimulation and sensing during adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS) with particular emphasis on artifact mitigations. APPROACH We defined a general architecture of feedback-enabled devices, identified key components in the signal chain which might result in unwanted artifacts and proposed methods that might ultimately enable improved aDBS therapies. We gathered data from research subjects chronically-implanted with an investigational aDBS system, Summit RC+S, to characterize and explore artifact mitigations arising from concurrent stimulation and sensing. We then used a prototype investigational implantable device, DyNeuMo, and a bench-setup that accounts for tissue-electrode properties, to confirm our observations and verify mitigations. The strategies to reduce transient stimulation artifacts and improve performance during aDBS were confirmed in a chronic implant using updated configuration settings. MAIN RESULTS We derived and validated a "checklist" of configuration settings to improve system performance and areas for future device improvement. Key considerations for the configuration include 1) active instead of passive recharge, 2) sense-channel blanking in the amplifier, 3) high-pass filter settings, 4) tissue-electrode impedance mismatch management, 5) time-frequency trade-offs in the classifier, 6) algorithm blanking and transition rate limits. Without proper channel configuration, the aDBS algorithm was susceptible to limit-cycles of oscillating stimulation independent of physiological state. By applying the checklist, we could optimize each block's performance characteristics within the overall system. With system-level optimization, a 'fast' aDBS prototype algorithm was demonstrated to be feasible without reentrant loops, and with noise performance suitable for subcortical brain circuits. SIGNIFICANCE We present a framework to study sources and propose mitigations of artifacts in devices that provide chronic aDBS. This work highlights the trade-offs in performance as novel sensing devices translate to the clinic. Finding the appropriate balance of constraints is imperative for successful translation of aDBS therapies.
