Abstract
Introduction
The investigation of brainwave changes during the recovery process of unilateral spatial neglect (USN) has garnered considerable attention in recent years. This paper presents an updated overview of the evolving brainwave patterns during USN rehabilitation, aiming to predict clinical outcomes and guide the selection of effective recovery strategies.
Methods
A systematic review was conducted, encompassing English literature published up to June 2024. Databases including PubMed, Web of Science, and clinical trials were utilized. The included studies assessed brainwaves using electroencephalography (EEG) in at least one group with USN. However, the diverse nature of these studies posed challenges for a quantitative synthesis.
Results
The final quantitative synthesis comprised 36 studies, incorporating a total of 4517 data points. The analysis revealed abnormalities in alpha, beta, and gamma brainwave activity, along with alterations in the functional monitoring of the alpha band during USN rehabilitation. Additionally, reductions were observed in specific brainwave components such as P1, N1, P2, P300, early directing attention negativity (EDAN), late directing attention positivity (LDAP), and contingent negative variation (CNV). However, findings regarding measures of synchrony, connectivity, and evoked responses across different frequency bands exhibited variability.
Conclusions
Various indicators of brainwave activity displayed changes at different stages of post-stroke neglect rehabilitation, highlighting the significance of neural network dysfunction in this process. Nonetheless, due to the diversity of the studies, further investigation is necessary to achieve a more comprehensive understanding in future research endeavors.
期刊介绍:
An international multidisciplinary journal devoted to fundamental research in the brain sciences.
Brain Research publishes papers reporting interdisciplinary investigations of nervous system structure and function that are of general interest to the international community of neuroscientists. As is evident from the journals name, its scope is broad, ranging from cellular and molecular studies through systems neuroscience, cognition and disease. Invited reviews are also published; suggestions for and inquiries about potential reviews are welcomed.
With the appearance of the final issue of the 2011 subscription, Vol. 67/1-2 (24 June 2011), Brain Research Reviews has ceased publication as a distinct journal separate from Brain Research. Review articles accepted for Brain Research are now published in that journal.
