Title
Tracking Dynamic Interactions Between Structural and Functional
Connectivity: A TMS/EEG-dMRI Study.
Source
Brain Connectivity. 7(2):84-97, 2017 Mar.
Abstract
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in combination with neuroimaging
techniques allows to measure the effects of a direct perturbation of the
brain. When coupled with high-density electroencephalography (TMS/hd-EEG),
TMS pulses revealed electrophysiological signatures of different cortical
modules in health and disease. However, the neural underpinnings of these
signatures remain unclear. Here, by applying multimodal analyses of
cortical response to TMS recordings and diffusion magnetic resonance
imaging (dMRI) tractography, we investigated the relationship between
functional and structural features of different cortical modules in a
cohort of awake healthy volunteers. For each subject, we computed directed
functional connectivity interactions between cortical areas from the
source-reconstructed TMS/hd-EEG recordings and correlated them with the
correspondent structural connectivity matrix extracted from dMRI
tractography, in three different frequency bands (alpha, beta, gamma) and
two sites of stimulation (left precuneus and left premotor). Each
stimulated area appeared to mainly respond to TMS by being functionally
elicited in specific frequency bands, that is, beta for precuneus and
gamma for premotor. We also observed a temporary decrease in the
whole-brain correlation between directed functional connectivity and
structural connectivity after TMS in all frequency bands. Notably, when
focusing on the stimulated areas only, we found that the
structure-function correlation significantly increases over time in the
premotor area controlateral to TMS. Our study points out the importance of
taking into account the major role played by different cortical
oscillations when investigating the mechanisms for integration and
segregation of information in the human brain.

Title
A lateralized top-down network for visuospatial attention and neglect.
Source
Brain Imaging & Behavior. 10(4):1029-1037, 2016 Dec.
Abstract
The lateralization of visuospatial attention has been well investigated
and demonstrated to be primarily resulting from unbalanced interaction
between interhemispheric fronto-parietal networks in previous studies.
Many recent studies of top-down attention have reported the neural
signatures of its effects within visual cortex and identified its causal
basis. However, the relationship between top-down networks and asymmetric
visuospatial attention has not been well studied. In the current study, we
aimed to explore the relationship between top-down connectivity and
asymmetric visuospatial ability by using repetitive transcranial magnetic
stimulation (rTMS) and resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC)
analyses. We used rTMS and RSFC to model the virtual lesion to assess the
behavioral performances in visuospatial attention shifting and to identify
the behavior-related top-down functional connectivities, respectively.
Furthermore, we also investigated the top-down connectivity in neglect
patients to validate the RSFC findings. RSFC analyses in healthy subjects
and neglect patients consistently revealed that asymmetric visuospatial
ability and visuospatial neglect were closely related to the bias of
top-down functional connectivity between posterior superior parietal
lobule (SPL) and V1. Our findings indicate that stronger top-down
connectivity has stronger dominance on its corresponding visual field. We
argue that an asymmetric top-down network may represent a possible
neurophysiological substrate for the ongoing functional asymmetry of
visuospatial attention, and its interhemispheric unbalanced interaction
could contribute to the clinical manifestations of visuospatial neglect.

Title
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation as an alternative therapy for
dysphagia after stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [Review] Source
Clinical Rehabilitation. 31(3):289-298, 2017 Mar.
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: A meta-analysis and systematic review was conducted to
investigate the potential effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic
stimulation on dysphagia in patients with stroke, including different
parameters of frequency and stimulation site.
METHODS: PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE databases and the Cochrane Library, were
searched for randomized controlled studies of repetitive transcranial
magnetic stimulation treatment of dysphagia published before March 2016.
RESULTS: Six clinical randomized controlled studies of a total of 163
stroke patients were included in this meta-analysis. A significant effect
size of 1.24 was found for dysphagic outcome (mean effect size, 1.24; 95%
confidence interval (CI), 0.67-1.81). A subgroup analysis based on
frequency showed that the clinical scores were significantly improved in
dysphagic patients with low frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic
stimulation treatment ( P<0.05) as well as high frequency repetitive
transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment ( P<0.05). A stimulation site
stratified subgroup analysis implied significant changes in stroke
patients with dysphagia for the unaffected hemisphere ( P<0.05) and the
bilateral hemisphere stimulation ( P<0.05), but not for the affected
hemisphere ( P>0.05). The analysis of the follow-up data shows that
patients in the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation groups still
maintained the therapeutic benefit of repetitive transcranial magnetic
stimulation four weeks after the last session of repetitive transcranial
magnetic stimulation therapy ( P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: This meta-analysis indicates that repetitive transcranial
magnetic stimulation has a positive effect on dysphagia after stroke.
Compared with low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation,
high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation may be more
beneficial to the patients. This meta-analysis also supports that
repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on an unaffected – or
bilateral – hemisphere has a significant therapeutic effect on dysphagia.
