[PMID: 38262724 PMCID: PMC10919256 DOI: 10.1523/jneurosci.1236-23.2023] [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: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/29/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Neural oscillations are associated with diverse computations in the mammalian brain. The waveform shape of oscillatory activity measured in the cortex relates to local physiology and can be informative about aberrant or dynamically changing states. However, how waveform shape differs across distant yet functionally and anatomically related cortical regions is largely unknown. In this study, we capitalize on simultaneous recordings of local field potentials (LFPs) in the auditory and frontal cortices of awake, male Carollia perspicillata bats to examine, on a cycle-by-cycle basis, waveform shape differences across cortical regions. We find that waveform shape differs markedly in the fronto-auditory circuit even for temporally correlated rhythmic activity in comparable frequency ranges (i.e., in the delta and gamma bands) during spontaneous activity. In addition, we report consistent differences between areas in the variability of waveform shape across individual cycles. A conceptual model predicts higher spike-spike and spike-LFP correlations in regions with more asymmetric shapes, a phenomenon that was observed in the data: spike-spike and spike-LFP correlations were higher in the frontal cortex. The model suggests a relationship between waveform shape differences and differences in spike correlations across cortical areas. Altogether, these results indicate that oscillatory activity in the frontal and auditory cortex possesses distinct dynamics related to the anatomical and functional diversity of the fronto-auditory circuit.

REM-OSA as a Tool to Understand Both the Architecture of Sleep and Pathogenesis of Sleep Apnea-Literature Review. J Clin Med 2023; 12:5907. [PMID: 37762848 PMCID: PMC10531579 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12185907] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Sleep is a complex physiological state, which can be divided into the non-rapid eye movement (NREM) phase and the REM phase. Both have some unique features and functions. This difference is best visible in electroencephalography recordings, respiratory system activity, arousals, autonomic nervous system activity, or metabolism. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common condition characterized by recurrent episodes of pauses in breathing during sleep caused by blockage of the upper airways. This common condition has multifactorial ethiopathogenesis (e.g., anatomical predisposition, sex, obesity, and age). Within this heterogenous syndrome, some distinctive phenotypes sharing similar clinical features can be recognized, one of them being REM sleep predominant OSA (REM-OSA). The aim of this review was to describe the pathomechanism of REM-OSA phenotype, its specific clinical presentation, and its consequences. Available data suggest that in this group of patients, the severity of specific cardiovascular and metabolic complications is increased. Due to the impact of apneas and hypopneas predominance during REM sleep, patients are more prone to develop hypertension or glucose metabolism impairment. Additionally, due to the specific function of REM sleep, which is predominantly fragmented in the REM-OSA, this group presents with decreased neurocognitive performance, reflected in memory deterioration, and mood changes including depression. REM-OSA clinical diagnosis and treatment can alleviate these outcomes, surpassing the traditional treatment and focusing on a more personalized approach, such as using longer therapy of continuous positive airway pressure or oral appliance use.

Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2023:105476. [PMID: 37321936 DOI: 10.1016/j.parkreldis.2023.105476] [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: 03/22/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Freezing of gait (FoG) is a debilitating symptom of advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) characterized by a sudden, episodic stepping arrest despite the intention to continue walking. The etiology of FoG is still unknown, but accumulating evidence unraveled physiological signatures of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) around FoG episodes. Here we aim to investigate for the first time whether detecting a predisposition for upcoming FoG events from ANS activity measured at rest is possible. METHODS We recorded heart-rate for 1-min while standing in 28 persons with PD with FoG (PD + FoG), while OFF, and in 21 elderly controls (EC). Then, PD + FoG participants performed walking trials containing FoG-triggering events (e.g., turns). During these trials, n = 15 did experience FoG (PD + FoG+), while n = 13 did not (PD + FoG-). Most PD participants (n = 20: 10 PD + FoG+ and 10 PD + FoG-) repeated the experiment 2-3 weeks later, while ON, and none experienced FoG. We then analyzed heart-rate variability (HRV), i.e., the fluctuations in time intervals between adjacent heartbeats, mainly generated by brain-heart interactions. RESULTS During OFF, HRV was significantly lower in PD + FoG + participants, reflecting imbalanced sympathetic/parasympathetic activity and disrupted self-regulatory capacity. PD + FoG- and EC participants showed comparable (higher) HRV. During ON, HRV did not differ among groups. HRV values did not correlate with age, PD duration, levodopa consumption, nor motor -symptoms severity scores. CONCLUSIONS Overall, these results document for the first time a relation between HRV at rest and FoG presence/absence during gait trials, expanding previous evidence regarding the involvement of ANS in FoG.

Multi-Night at-Home Evaluation of Improved Sleep Detection and Classification with a Memory-Enhanced Consumer Sleep Tracker. Nat Sci Sleep 2022; 14:645-660. [PMID: 35444483 PMCID: PMC9015046 DOI: 10.2147/nss.s359789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the benefits of applying an improved sleep detection and staging algorithm on minimally processed multi-sensor wearable data collected from older generation hardware. PATIENTS AND METHODS 58 healthy, East Asian adults aged 23-69 years (M = 37.10, SD = 13.03, 32 males), each underwent 3 nights of PSG at home, wearing 2nd Generation Oura Rings equipped with additional memory to store raw data from accelerometer, infra-red photoplethysmography and temperature sensors. 2-stage and 4-stage sleep classifications using a new machine-learning algorithm (Gen3) trained on a diverse and independent dataset were compared to the existing consumer algorithm (Gen2) for whole-night and epoch-by-epoch metrics. RESULTS Gen 3 outperformed its predecessor with a mean (SD) accuracy of 92.6% (0.04), sensitivity of 94.9% (0.03), and specificity of 78.5% (0.11); corresponding to a 3%, 2.8% and 6.2% improvement from Gen2 across the three nights, with Cohen's d values >0.39, t values >2.69, and p values <0.01. Notably, Gen 3 showed robust performance comparable to PSG in its assessment of sleep latency, light sleep, rapid eye movement (REM), and wake after sleep onset (WASO) duration. Participants <40 years of age benefited more from the upgrade with less measurement bias for total sleep time (TST), WASO, light sleep and sleep efficiency compared to those ≥40 years. Males showed greater improvements on TST and REM sleep measurement bias compared to females, while females benefitted more for deep sleep measures compared to males. CONCLUSION These results affirm the benefits of applying machine learning and a diverse training dataset to improve sleep measurement of a consumer wearable device. Importantly, collecting raw data with appropriate hardware allows for future advancements in algorithm development or sleep physiology to be retrospectively applied to enhance the value of longitudinal sleep studies.
