Abstract

Objective

Methamphetamine (METH) dependence, especially among women, is a serious global health problem. Kick-boxing exercise can be used to reduce cue-induced craving and develop a healthy lifestyle for female with METH dependencies. This study aimed to assess acute kick-boxing related changes in effective connectivity (EC) in the brain of females with METH dependencies by using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) signals.

Methods

The fNIRS signals were continuously recorded from the left and right prefrontal cortices (LPFC/RPFC) and left and right motor cortices (LMC/RMC) of 30 female subjects with methamphetamine dependencies (METH group) and 30 age-matched controls (control group) during resting and kick-boxing exercise (training) periods. EC was calculated in the frequency range of 0.01–0.08 Hz.

Results

In both resting and training state, the EC levels of METH group were significantly lower than the control group (p < 0.05). The EC levels of control group showed more significantly increased connection types than that of the METH group.

Conclusion

Acute kick-boxing exercise altered EC in the brain of females with METH dependencies. Furthermore, the efficiency of the information flow between different brain regions in the control group was significantly higher than that in the METH group. This study provides a novel and portable assessment technique for METH rehabilitation in females on the basis of fNIRS signals.

剧烈的跆拳道运动改变了依赖冰毒的女性大脑的有效连接

目的对甲基苯丙胺(冰毒)的依赖是一个严重的全球性健康问题，尤其是在妇女中。对于依赖冰毒的女性来说，跆拳道运动可以用来减少线索引起的渴望，培养健康的生活方式。本研究旨在通过功能近红外光谱(fNIRS)信号评估甲基安非他明依赖的女性大脑中有效连接(EC)的急性搏击相关变化。方法对30名甲基苯丙胺依赖女性受试者(冰毒组)和30名年龄匹配的对照组(对照组)在休息和跆拳道运动(训练)期间的左右前额叶皮质(LPFC/RPFC)和左右运动皮质(LMC/RMC)的fNIRS信号进行连续记录。在0.01 ~ 0.08 Hz的频率范围内计算电导率。结果在静息状态和训练状态下，冰毒组EC水平均显著低于对照组(p < 0.05)。与甲基安非他明组相比，对照组EC水平表现出更显著的连接类型增加。结论急性跆拳道运动改变了甲基安非他明依赖女性的脑EC。此外，对照组不同脑区之间的信息流效率显著高于甲基安非他明组。本研究提供了一种基于fNIRS信号的新型便携式甲基安非他明女性康复评估技术。

期刊介绍： Neuroscience Letters is devoted to the rapid publication of short, high-quality papers of interest to the broad community of neuroscientists. Only papers which will make a significant addition to the literature in the field will be published. Papers in all areas of neuroscience - molecular, cellular, developmental, systems, behavioral and cognitive, as well as computational - will be considered for publication. Submission of laboratory investigations that shed light on disease mechanisms is encouraged. Special Issues, edited by Guest Editors to cover new and rapidly-moving areas, will include invited mini-reviews. Occasional mini-reviews in especially timely areas will be considered for publication, without invitation, outside of Special Issues; these un-solicited mini-reviews can be submitted without invitation but must be of very high quality. Clinical studies will also be published if they provide new information about organization or actions of the nervous system, or provide new insights into the neurobiology of disease. NSL does not publish case reports.
