摘要
目的:许多静息态功能磁共振成像(rs-fMRI)研究证明,重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)是通过从浅层刺激靶点到深层有效区域的功能连接(FC)发挥治疗效果的。在帕金森病(PD)的深部脑刺激手术中,背外侧丘脑下核(DL-STN)是一个有效靶点,但其靶点选择高度依赖于训练有素的神经外科医生,且不易用于 FC 引导的经颅磁刺激。我们的目的是设计一种自动定位 DL-STN 的方法,并进一步开发一种一站式 rs-fMRI FC 分析插件,以协助未来的个体化 FC 引导经颅磁刺激。研究方法根据78名参与者的结构和铁敏感核磁共振成像,由两名评分员确定DL-STN坐标,其可靠性非常高。标准蒙特利尔神经研究所(MNI)空间中的平均坐标为:左侧 DL-STN,x:-11.89 ± 0.82,y:-14.51 ± 1.00:-14.51±1.00,z:-6.40±1.01;右侧 DL-STN,x:12.53±0.77,y:-13.97±0.86:-13.97±0.86,z:-6.57±0.99。由于所有 78 名参与者与平均坐标的单个距离均小于 3 毫米(对于大多数 rs-fMRI 研究而言,均小于一个体素),因此我们将平均坐标定义为 AutoSTN。然后,我们开发了一个名为 "连接性和坐标转换助手工具箱(CC-CAT)"的一站式插件,并进行了 AutoSTN FC 分析。结果显示在所有参与者中,AutoSTN 种子与运动皮层均显示出明显的 FC。结论基于AutoSTN的rs-fMRI FC可以指导未来对帕金森病的经颅磁刺激。一站式插件 CC-CAT 可用于任何 FC 指导的经颅磁刺激治疗。
Automatically targeting the dorsolateral subthalamic nucleus for functional connectivity-guided rTMS therapy
Aim: Many resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) studies have provided evidence that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) exerts treatment effects via functional connectivity (FC) from a superficial stimulation target to a deep effective region. The dorsolateral subthalamic nucleus (DL-STN) is an effective target in deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson’s disease (PD), but its targeting highly depends on well-trained neurosurgeons and is not easily used for FC-guided rTMS. We aimed to devise a method for automatically localizing the DL-STN, and further develop a one-stop plug-in of rs-fMRI FC analysis to assist future individualized FC-guided rTMS.
Methods: Based on structural and iron-sensitive MRI of 78 participants, two raters defined the DL-STN coordinates with very high reliability. The averaged coordinates in the standard Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) space were: left DL-STN, x: -11.89 ± 0.82, y: -14.51 ± 1.00, and z: -6.40 ± 1.01 and the right DL-STN, x: 12.53 ± 0.77, y: -13.97 ± 0.86, and z: -6.57 ± 0.99. As the individual distances from the averaged coordinates were less than 3 mm (within one voxel for most rs-fMRI studies) for all 78 participants, we defined the average coordinates as AutoSTN. We then developed a one-stop plug-in named Connectivity and Coordinates Converting Assistant Toolbox (CC-CAT) and performed AutoSTN FC analysis.
Results: The AutoSTN seed showed significant FC with the motor cortices in all participants.
Conclusion: The AutoSTN-based rs-fMRI FC could guide future rTMS on PD. The one-stop plug-in CC-CAT can be used for any FC-guided rTMS treatment.
