Translational Structural and Functional Signatures of Chronic Alcohol Effects in Mice. Biol Psychiatry 2022; 91:1039-1050. [PMID: 35654559 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopsych.2022.02.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Alcohol acts as an addictive substance that may lead to alcohol use disorder. In humans, magnetic resonance imaging showed diverse structural and functional brain alterations associated with this complex pathology. Single magnetic resonance imaging modalities are used mostly but are insufficient to portray and understand the broad neuroadaptations to alcohol. Here, we combined structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging and connectome mapping in mice to establish brain-wide fingerprints of alcohol effects with translatable potential. METHODS Mice underwent a chronic intermittent alcohol drinking protocol for 6 weeks before being imaged under medetomidine anesthesia. We performed open-ended multivariate analysis of structural data and functional connectivity mapping on the same subjects. RESULTS Structural analysis showed alcohol effects for the prefrontal cortex/anterior insula, hippocampus, and somatosensory cortex. Integration with microglia histology revealed distinct alcohol signatures, suggestive of advanced (prefrontal cortex/anterior insula, somatosensory cortex) and early (hippocampus) inflammation. Functional analysis showed major alterations of insula, ventral tegmental area, and retrosplenial cortex connectivity, impacting communication patterns for salience (insula), reward (ventral tegmental area), and default mode (retrosplenial cortex) networks. The insula appeared as a most sensitive brain center across structural and functional analyses. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates alcohol effects in mice, which possibly underlie lower top-down control and impaired hedonic balance documented at the behavioral level, and aligns with neuroimaging findings in humans despite the potential limitation induced by medetomidine sedation. This study paves the way to identify further biomarkers and to probe neurobiological mechanisms of alcohol effects using genetic and pharmacological manipulations in mouse models of alcohol drinking and dependence.

COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:9269695. [PMID: 35685898 PMCID: PMC9173963 DOI: 10.1155/2022/9269695] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 04/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
This study was aimed at exploring the application value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on image enhancement algorithm in analyzing the placement of drainage tubes in the healing of incisions after hepatobiliary surgery. A total of 70 patients with liver cancer undergoing laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery were selected, including 34 males and 36 females. According to the detection method of postoperative recovery, they were divided into a group A (conventional MRI detection) and a group B (MRI detection based on Retinex algorithm). Patients were divided into two groups according to whether subcutaneous drainage tubes were placed: group C (no subcutaneous drainage tubes were placed) and group D (subcutaneous drainage tubes were placed), with 35 patients in each group. The results showed that there was no significant difference between group A and group B in tumor residual or recurrence. The detection rate of tumor capsule in group B was significantly higher than that in group A (P < 0.05). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of group A for the detection of recurrent lesions were 63.40%, 86.90%, and 78.60%, respectively; those in group B were 82.70%, 98.50%, and 93.20%, respectively. Therefore, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The incidence of poor wound healing and infection in group C were significantly lower than those in group D (P < 0.05). Therefore, the effect of MRI detection based on image enhancement algorithm was more conducive to the evaluation of postoperative recovery due to the traditional MRI detection. In addition, the drainage tube was helpful to the postoperative wound healing and showed high clinical value.

Fasting prevents medetomidine-induced hyperglycaemia and alterations of neurovascular coupling in the somatosensory cortex of the rat during noxious stimulation. Eur J Neurosci 2021; 54:4906-4919.

Abstract
Medetomidine and isoflurane are commonly used for general anaesthesia in fMRI studies, but they alter cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation and neurovascular coupling (NVC). In addition, medetomidine induces hypoinsulinemia and hyperglycaemia, which also alter CBF regulation and NVC. Furthermore, sudden changes in arterial pressure induced by noxious stimulation may affect NVC differently under medetomidine and isoflurane anaesthesia, considering their different effects on vascular functions. The first objective of this study was to compare NVC under medetomidine and isoflurane anaesthesia during noxious stimulation. The second objective was to examine whether fasting may improve NVC by reducing medetomidine-induced hyperglycaemia. In male Wister rats, noxious electrical stimulation was applied to the sciatic nerve in fasted or non-fasted animals. CBF and local field potentials (LFP) were recorded in the somatosensory cortex to assess NVC (CBF/LFP ratio). The CBF/LFP ratio was increased by medetomidine compared with isoflurane (p = 0.004), but this effect was abolished by fasting (p = 0.8). Accordingly, medetomidine produced a threefold increase in blood glucose (p < 0.001), but this effect was also abolished by fasting (p = 0.3). This indicates that isoflurane and medetomidine anaesthesia alter NVC differently, but the undesirable glucose dependent effects of medetomidine on NVC can be prevented by fasting.

Abstract
Substance use disorders (SUDs) are a major public health problem—with over 200 million people reporting drug use in 2016. Electroencephalography (EEG) is a powerful tool that can provide insights into the impact of SUDs on cognition. Specifically, modulated gamma activity may provide an index of the pathophysiology of SUDs. Thus, the purpose of this review was to investigate the impact of alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, cocaine, and amphetamine on gamma activity, among pre-clinical and clinical populations during acute and chronic exposure and withdrawal states. We searched multiple databases for key terms related to SUDs, EEG, and gamma and ensured rigorous methods by using a standardized review reporting tool. We included 30 studies in this review and found that all substances were associated with modulation of gamma activity, across states and in both preclinical and clinical populations. Gamma oscillations appeared to be differentially modulated in clinical versus preclinical populations and had the most complex relationship with alcohol, indicating that it may act differently than other substances. The findings of this review offer insights into the pathophysiology of SUDs, providing a potential window into novel treatments for SUDs via modulation of gamma activity.

Abstract
The contribution of astrocytes to the BOLD fMRI and DfMRI responses in visual cortex of mice following visual stimulation was investigated using TGN-020, an aquaporin 4 (AQP4) channel blocker, acting as an astrocyte function perturbator. Under TGN-020 injection the amplitude of the BOLD fMRI response became significantly higher. In contrast no significant changes in the DfMRI responses and the electrophysiological responses were observed. Those results further confirm the implications of astrocytes in the neurovascular coupling mechanism underlying BOLD fMRI, but not in the DfMRI responses which remained unsensitive to astrocyte function perturbation.

Abstract
Background Although male and female rats differ in their patterns of alcohol use, little is known regarding the neural circuit activity that underlies these differences in behavior. The current study used a machine learning approach to characterize sex differences in local field potential (LFP) oscillations that may relate to sex differences in alcohol-drinking behavior. Methods LFP oscillations were recorded from the nucleus accumbens shell and the rodent medial prefrontal cortex of adult male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. Recordings occurred before rats were exposed to alcohol (n = 10/sex × 2 recordings/rat) and during sessions of limited access to alcohol (n = 5/sex × 5 recordings/rat). Oscillations were also recorded from each female rat in each phase of estrous prior to alcohol exposure. Using machine learning, we built predictive models with oscillation data to classify rats based on: (1) biological sex, (2) phase of estrous, and (3) alcohol intake levels. We evaluated model performance from real data by comparing it to the performance of models built and tested on permutations of the data. Results Our data demonstrate that corticostriatal oscillations were able to predict alcohol intake levels in males (p < 0.01), but not in females (p = 0.45). The accuracies of models predicting biological sex and phase of estrous were related to fluctuations observed in alcohol drinking levels; females in diestrus drank more alcohol than males (p = 0.052), and the male vs. diestrus female model had the highest accuracy (71.01%) compared to chance estimates. Conversely, females in estrus drank very similar amounts of alcohol to males (p = 0.702), and the male vs. estrus female model had the lowest accuracy (56.14%) compared to chance estimates. Conclusions The current data demonstrate that oscillations recorded from corticostriatal circuits contain significant information regarding alcohol drinking in males, but not alcohol drinking in females. Future work will focus on identifying where to record LFP oscillations in order to predict alcohol drinking in females, which may help elucidate sex-specific neural targets for future therapeutic development.

Abstract
Fasting is known to influence learning and memory in mice and alter the neural networks that subserve these cognitive functions. We used high-resolution functional MRI to study the impact of fasting on resting-state functional connectivity in mice following 12 h of fasting. The cortex and subcortex were parcellated into 52 subregions and functional connectivity was measured between each pair of subregions in groups of fasted and non-fasted mice. Functional connectivity was globally increased in the fasted group compared to the non-fasted group, with the most significant increases evident between the hippocampus (bilateral), retrosplenial cortex (left), visual cortex (left) and auditory cortex (left). Functional brain networks in the non-fasted group comprised five segregated modules of strongly interconnected subregions, whereas the fasted group comprised only three modules. The amplitude of low frequency fluctuations (ALFF) was decreased in the ventromedial hypothalamus in the fasted group. Correlation in gamma oscillations derived from local field potentials was increased between the left visual and retrosplenial cortices in the fasted group and the power of gamma oscillations was reduced in the ventromedial hypothalamus. These results indicate that fasting induces profound changes in functional connectivity, most likely resulting from altered coupling of neuronal gamma oscillations.

Abstract
Purpose Diffusion MRI is confounded by the need to acquire at least two images separated by a repetition time, thereby thwarting the detection of rapid dynamic microstructural changes. The issue is exacerbated when diffusivity variations are accompanied by rapid changes in T2. The purpose of the present study is to accelerate diffusion MRI acquisitions such that both reference and diffusion‐weighted images necessary for quantitative diffusivity mapping are acquired in a single‐shot experiment. Methods A general methodology termed incomplete initial nutation diffusion imaging (INDI), capturing two diffusion contrasts in a single shot, is presented. This methodology creates a longitudinal magnetization reservoir that facilitates the successive acquisition of two images separated by only a few milliseconds. The theory behind INDI is presented, followed by proof‐of‐concept studies in water phantom, ex vivo, and in vivo experiments at 16.4 and 9.4 T. Results Mean diffusivities extracted from INDI were comparable with diffusion tensor imaging and the two‐shot isotropic diffusion encoding in the water phantom. In ex vivo mouse brain tissues, as well as in the in vivo mouse brain, mean diffusivities extracted from conventional isotropic diffusion encoding and INDI were in excellent agreement. Simulations for signal‐to‐noise considerations identified the regimes in which INDI is most beneficial. Conclusions The INDI method accelerates diffusion MRI acquisition to single‐shot mode, which can be of great importance for mapping dynamic microstructural properties in vivo without T2 bias.

Abstract
Diffusion functional magnetic resonance imaging (DfMRI) has been proposed as a method for functional neuroimaging studies, as an alternative to blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD)-fMRI. DfMRI is thought to more directly reflect neural activation, but its exact mechanism remains unclear. It has been hypothesized that the water apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) decrease observed upon neural activation results from swelling of neurons or neuron parts. To elucidate the origin of the DfMRI response at cellular level we performed diffusion MR microscopy at 17.2 T in Aplysia californica buccal ganglia and compared the water ADCs at cellular and ganglia levels before and after neuronal activation induced by perfusion with a solution containing dopamine. Neural cell swelling, evidenced from optical microscopy imaging, resulted in an intracellular ADC increase and an ADC decrease at ganglia level. Furthermore, the intracellular ADC increase was found to have a significant positive correlation with the increase in cell size. Our results strongly support the hypothesis that the ADC decrease observed with DfMRI upon neuronal activation at tissue level reflects activation-induced neural cell swelling.
