Neural electrophysiological analysis techniques were conducted on the acquired local field potential (LFP) data from primary motor cortex (M1) and dorsolateral striatum (DLS) during different pathological states to obtain the information of power spectrum density, theta-gamma phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), and functional connectivity. Behavior tests and AIMs scoring were performed to verify PD model establishment and evaluate LID severity.
We detected exaggerated gamma activities in the dyskinetic state, with different features and impacts in distinct regions. Gamma oscillations in M1 were narrowband manner, whereas that in DLS had a broadband appearance. Striatal exaggerated theta-gamma PAC in the LID state contributed to broadband gamma oscillation, and aperiodic-corrected cortical beta power correlated robustly with aperiodic-corrected gamma power in M1. M1-DLS coherence and phase-locking values (PLVs) in the gamma band were enhanced following L-dopa administration. Eltoprazine intervention reduced gamma oscillations, theta-gamma PAC in the DLS, and coherence and PLVs in the gamma band to alleviate dyskinesia.
Excessive cortical gamma oscillation is a compelling clinical indicator of dyskinesia. The detection of enhanced PAC and functional connectivity of gamma-band oscillation can be used to guide and optimize deep brain stimulation parameters. Eltoprazine has potential clinical application for dyskinesia.
方法:对不同病理状态下初级运动皮层(M1)和背外侧纹状体(DLS)的局部场电位(LFP)数据进行神经电生理分析技术,以获取功率谱密度信息。θ-γ相位-振幅耦合(PAC),和功能连接。进行行为测试和AIMs评分以验证PD模型的建立并评估LID严重程度。
结果:我们在运动障碍状态下检测到夸大的伽马活动,在不同的地区具有不同的特征和影响。M1中的伽马振荡是窄带的,而在DLS中有宽带外观。LID状态下纹状体夸张的theta-gammaPAC有助于宽带伽马振荡,在M1中,非周期性校正的皮层β功率与非周期性校正的γ功率密切相关。左旋多巴给药后,γ波段的M1-DLS相干性和锁相值(PLV)得到增强。埃托拉齐干预减少了伽马振荡,DLS中的theta-gammaPAC,和相干和PLVs在γ波段缓解运动障碍。
结论:过度的皮质γ振荡是运动障碍的一个令人信服的临床指标。增强PAC的检测和伽马带振荡的功能连通性可用于指导和优化深部脑刺激参数。埃托拉嗪治疗运动障碍具有潜在的临床应用价值。
