EEG connectivity patterns in response to gaming and learning-based cognitive stimulations in Rett syndrome
Background
Functional connectivity is scarcely studied in Rett syndrome (RTT). Explorations revealed associations between RTT's clinical, genetic profiles, and coherence measures, highlighting an unexplored frontier in understanding RTT's neural mechanisms and cognitive processes.
Aims
To evaluate the effects of diverse cognitive stimulations—learning-focused versus gaming-oriented—on electroencephalography brain connectivity in RTT. The comparison with resting states aimed to uncover potential biomarkers and insights into the neural processes associated with RTT.
Methods and procedures
The study included 15 girls diagnosed with RTT. Throughout sessions lasting about 25 min, participants alternated between active and passive tasks, using an eyetracker device while their brain activity was recorded with a 20-channel EEG. Results revealed significant alterations during cognitive tasks, notably in delta, alpha and beta bands. Both tasks induced spectral pattern changes and connectivity shifts, hinting at enhanced neural processing. Hemispheric asymmetry decreased during tasks, suggesting more balanced neural processing. Linear and nonlinear connectivity alterations were observed in active tasks compared to resting state, while passive tasks showed no significant changes.
Conclusions and implications
Results underscores the potential of cognitive stimulation for heightened cognitive abilities, promoting enhanced brain connectivity and information flow in Rett syndrome. These findings offer valuable markers for evaluating cognitive interventions and suggest gaming-related activities as effective tools for improving learning outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Research In Developmental Disabilities is aimed at publishing original research of an interdisciplinary nature that has a direct bearing on the remediation of problems associated with developmental disabilities. Manuscripts will be solicited throughout the world. Articles will be primarily empirical studies, although an occasional position paper or review will be accepted. The aim of the journal will be to publish articles on all aspects of research with the developmentally disabled, with any methodologically sound approach being acceptable.
