Abstract
Neural interactions occur on different levels and scales. It is of particular importance to understand how they are distributed among different neuroanatomical and physiological relevant brain regions. We investigated neural cross-frequency couplings between different brain regions according to the Desikan-Killiany brain parcellation. The adaptive dynamic Bayesian inference method was applied to EEG measurements of healthy resting subjects in order to reconstruct the coupling functions. It was found that even after averaging over all subjects, the mean coupling function showed a characteristic waveform, confirming the direct influence of the delta-phase on the alpha-phase dynamics in certain brain regions and that the shape of the coupling function changes for different regions. While the averaged coupling function within a region was of similar form, the region-averaged coupling function was averaged out, which implies that there is a common dependence within separate regions across the subjects. It was also found that for certain regions the influence of delta on alpha oscillations is more pronounced and that oscillations that influence other are more evenly distributed across brain regions than the influenced oscillations. When presenting the information on brain lobes, it was shown that the influence of delta emanating from the brain as a whole is greatest on the alpha oscillations of the cingulate frontal lobe, and at the same time the influence of delta from the cingulate parietal brain lobe is greatest on the alpha oscillations of the whole brain.

Mild poikilocapnic hypoxia increases very low frequency haemoglobin oxygenation oscillations in prefrontal cortex. Biol Res 2021; 54:39. [PMID: 34906247 PMCID: PMC8669425 DOI: 10.1186/s40659-021-00362-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Accepted: 11/30/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of mild cerebral hypoxia on haemoglobin oxygenation (HbO2), cerebrospinal fluid dynamics and cardiovascular physiology. To achieve this goal, four signals were recorded simultaneously: blood pressure, heart rate / electrocardiogram, HbO2 from right hemisphere and changes of subarachnoid space (SAS) width from left hemisphere. Signals were registered from 30 healthy, young participants (2 females and 28 males, body mass index = 24.5 ± 2.3 kg/m2, age 30.8 ± 13.4 years). RESULTS We analysed the recorded signals using wavelet transform and phase coherence. We demonstrated for the first time that in healthy subjects exposed to mild poikilokapnic hypoxia there were increases in very low frequency HbO2 oscillations (< 0.052 Hz) in prefrontal cortex. Additionally, SAS fluctuation diminished in the whole frequency range which could be explained by brain oedema. CONCLUSIONS Consequently the study provides insight into mechanisms governing brain response to a mild hypoxic challenge. Our study supports the notion that HbO2 and SAS width monitoring might be beneficial for patients with acute lung disease.

Abstract
We introduce a new mathematical framework for the qualitative analysis of dynamical stability, designed particularly for finite-time processes subject to slow-timescale external influences. In particular, our approach is to treat finite-time dynamical systems in terms of a slow-fast formalism in which the slow time only exists in a bounded interval, and consider stability in the singular limit. Applying this to one-dimensional phase dynamics, we provide stability definitions somewhat analogous to the classical infinite-time definitions associated with Aleksandr Lyapunov. With this, we mathematically formalize and generalize a phase-stabilization phenomenon previously described in the physics literature for which the classical stability definitions are inapplicable and instead our new framework is required.

Coupling between Blood Pressure and Subarachnoid Space Width Oscillations during Slow Breathing. ENTROPY 2021; 23:e23010113. [PMID: 33467769 PMCID: PMC7830105 DOI: 10.3390/e23010113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2020] [Revised: 12/29/2020] [Accepted: 01/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
The precise mechanisms connecting the cardiovascular system and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are not well understood in detail. This paper investigates the couplings between the cardiac and respiratory components, as extracted from blood pressure (BP) signals and oscillations of the subarachnoid space width (SAS), collected during slow ventilation and ventilation against inspiration resistance. The experiment was performed on a group of 20 healthy volunteers (12 females and 8 males; BMI =22.1±3.2 kg/m2; age 25.3±7.9 years). We analysed the recorded signals with a wavelet transform. For the first time, a method based on dynamical Bayesian inference was used to detect the effective phase connectivity and the underlying coupling functions between the SAS and BP signals. There are several new findings. Slow breathing with or without resistance increases the strength of the coupling between the respiratory and cardiac components of both measured signals. We also observed increases in the strength of the coupling between the respiratory component of the BP and the cardiac component of the SAS and vice versa. Slow breathing synchronises the SAS oscillations, between the brain hemispheres. It also diminishes the similarity of the coupling between all analysed pairs of oscillators, while inspiratory resistance partially reverses this phenomenon. BP–SAS and SAS–BP interactions may reflect changes in the overall biomechanical characteristics of the brain.
