Abstract
Objective: The application of signal analysis techniques to electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings from epilepsy patients shows that epilepsy involves not only altered neuronal synchronization but also the reorganization of functional EEG networks. This study aims to assess the large-scale phase-locking of such functional networks and how individual network nodes contribute to this collective dynamics.
Methods: We analyze the EEG recorded before, during and after seizures from sixteen patients with pharmacoresistant focal-onset epilepsy. The data is filtered to low (4-30 Hz) and high (80-150 Hz) frequencies. We define the multivariate phase-locking measure and the univariate phase-locking contribution measure. Surrogate signals are used to estimate baseline results expected under the null hypothesis that the EEG is a correlated linear stochastic process.
Results: On average, nodes from inside and outside the seizure onset zone (SOZ) increase and decrease, respectively, the large-scale phase-locking. This difference becomes most evident in a joint analysis of low and high frequencies.
Conclusions: Nodes inside and outside the SOZ play opposite roles for the large-scale phase-locking in functional EEG network in epilepsy patients.
Significance: The application of the phase-locking contribution measure to EEG recordings from epilepsy patients can potentially help in localizing the SOZ.
期刊介绍:
As of January 1999, The journal Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, and its two sections Electromyography and Motor Control and Evoked Potentials have amalgamated to become this journal - Clinical Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.The journal is dedicated to fostering research and disseminating information on all aspects of both normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The key aim of the publication is to disseminate scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system of human patients. Clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures to document change are encouraged, as are manuscripts reporting data on integrated neuroimaging of central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, MEG, EEG, PET and other neuroimaging modalities.
