Book The Hidden Life of the Basal Ganglia

Download or read book The Hidden Life of the Basal Ganglia written by Hagai Bergman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The anatomy and physiology of the basal ganglia and their relation to brain and behavior, disorders and therapies, and philosophy of mind and moral values. The main task of the basal ganglia—a group of subcortical nuclei, located at the base of the brain—is to optimize and execute our automatic behavior. In this book, Hagai Bergman analyzes the anatomy and physiology of the basal ganglia, discussing their relation to brain and behavior, to disorders and therapies, and even to moral values. Drawing on his forty years of studying the basal ganglia, Bergman presents new information on physiology and computational models, Parkinson’s disease and other ganglia-related disorders, and such therapies as deep brain stimulation. Focusing on studies of nonhuman primates and human basal ganglia and relying on system physiology and in vivo extra-cellular recording techniques, Bergman first describes the major brain structures that constitute the basal ganglia, the morphology of their cellular elements, their synaptic connectivity and their physiological function in health and disease. He discusses the computational physiology of the healthy basal ganglia, describing four generations of computational models, and then traces the computational physiology of basal ganglia–related disorders and their treatments, including Parkinson’s disease and its pharmacological and surgical therapies. Finally, Bergman considers the implications of these findings for such moral concerns as free will. Explaining this leap into domains rarely explored in neuroscientific accounts, Bergman writes that the longer he studies the basal ganglia, the more he is convinced that they are truly the base of both brain and mind.

Book Deep Brain Stimulation

Download or read book Deep Brain Stimulation written by Kelvin L. Chou, MD and published by Demos Medical Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12-21 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, an estimated 42 million people suffer from some form of movement disorder. Common movement disorders include Parkinson's disease (PD), essential tremor (ET), and dystonia. Although medications may be helpful for these conditions, in many patients, symptoms cannot be controlled with medications alone. In such situations, their physicians may recommend a surgical procedure known as Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). DBS is a revolutionary technology using an implanted device to deliver electrical stimulation to the brain to help symptoms, alleviate suffering, and improve quality of life. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved DBS as a treatment for essential tremor in 1997, for Parkinson's disease in 2002, and dystonia in 2003. Deep brain stimulation has dramatically changed the lives of many patients with uncontrollable tremors. Patients often can resume normal activities, such as feeding and dressing themselves, and can have active and fulfilling lives. The need for anti-tremor medications is often reduced or eliminated. Though it's no longer considered experimental, DBS is, for now, still used as a second- or third-line treatment, reserved for patients with more advanced cases of the disease and those for whom medication alone is inadequate or can't be adjusted precisely enough to keep their tremors and writhing under control. However the idea of this surgery being a "last resort" is an evolving concept. Ten years ago doctors were operating on only the most severe, disabled, wheelchair-dependent patients, now they are operating on patients with moderate-to-severe cases of PD, ET and Dystonia. The thought is that this trend will continue. Instead of saying "wait another five to ten years until you become more disabled" doctors are realizing that the earlier they use DBS, the more they can improve the quality of life of their patients.

Book Data driven Optimization of Deep Brain Stimulation for Movement Disorders

Download or read book Data driven Optimization of Deep Brain Stimulation for Movement Disorders written by Andrew J. Haddock and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective therapy for ameliorating motor symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) and essential tremor (ET). DBS is a surgical procedure in which implanted electrodes are placed near brain structures believed to cause pathological motor disorder behaviors. Subcortical brain structures in thalamus and basal ganglia are typical DBS targets for PD and ET therapy, and modern DBS systems allow customization of therapeutic stimulation patterns through control of stimulation location, amplitude, pulsewidth, and frequency in order to optimize therapy on a patient-specific basis. Despite the technological capabilities of implanted DBS systems, current clinical implementation is limited by a scarcity of DBS specialty clinics and variable, subjective clinician performance in assessing patient symptoms and systematically selecting optimal DBS settings for therapy, a process known as programming. Compounding this problem is a dated and inefficient healthcare system that requires patients to travel to clinic to receive DBS programming updates, oftentimes at great expense both to patients and healthcare providers. In this dissertation, we investigate and demonstrate experimental data-driven methodologies and algorithms aimed at improving DBS therapy for PD and ET patients. Particularly, we develop adaptive DBS systems by coupling low-cost commercial sensors with stimulation control and demonstrate the therapy potential through clinical experiments with human subjects diagnosed with PD and ET. We make use of a commercially available wearable smartwatch and show that clinical ratings for tremor and bradykinesia can accurately be classified on the basis of inertial measurement unit (IMU) data. We embed this feature in a software algorithm for automated DBS programming that is demonstrated to perform at the level of expert clinicians in selecting optimal DBS settings for therapy in PD and ET patients. We further use this platform to investigate neural correlates and biomarkers of effective DBS in ET patients using recorded local field potentials (LFPs) from an electrocorticographic (ECoG) strip placed over motor cortex. Scalable methods and algorithms for automatically programming DBS when considering a large number of candidate DBS settings are also developed in detail. Finally, we address the problem of closed-loop DBS, in which stimulation is delivered in a responsive manner to patient symptoms, by formulating a model-based approach using system identification experiments, hybrid systems modeling, and predictive control. The results presented in this dissertation may improve patient care, patient quality of life, and the cost-effectiveness of DBS therapy for PD and ET patients. Additionally, the novel results presented on neural stimulation optimization may be useful more broadly in the growing medical and research fields of neuromodulation and bioelectronic medicine. We conclude with a discussion concerning how to integrate this data-driven approach to DBS therapy in modern healthcare systems, and we discuss the relevance of these results in light of anticipated technological developments in DBS systems.

Book Parkinson s Disease Classification  Monitoring and Optimization of Deep Brain Stimulation

Download or read book Parkinson s Disease Classification Monitoring and Optimization of Deep Brain Stimulation written by Syed Aamir Ali Shah and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parkinson's disease (PD) alters the brain's anatomy when dopamine releasing neurons die in basal ganglia neural pathways. The resulting alterations force synchronized neuronal activity in beta frequency components in subthalamic nucleus (STN). This synchronization affects the chaotic behavior of the brain activities, which induce motor related impairments in patient's limbs. This can be seen in the electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of PD patients. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is the therapy of choice in later stage of disease when the side-effects of medication supersede its benefits. In this research work, we utilize the relationship between chaotic systems and brain for the analysis of EEG signals of PD patients. The overall objective is to develop a framework that can monitor, analyze the chaotic behavior, and optimize the stimulation of various regions of the brain to restore normal state. The first component of the overall objective is to monitor the activities of brain regions. In this component, we use embedding reconstruction, a tool from chaos theory, to highlight PD-related alterations in dynamical properties of EEG and present it as a potentially reliable bio-marker for PD related classification. Additionally, there is a strong synchronization between amplitude of higher frequency components and phase of beta components for PD patients. This information is used to improve the performance of this classification. We apply embedding reconstruction to design a new architecture of a deep neural network called Dynamical system Generated Hybrid Network. We report that this network outperforms the state of the art in terms of classification accuracy of 99.2. (+0:52%) with approximately 24% of the computational resources. The second component is a step towards analysis of chaotic behavior of brain in which we investigate the use of recurrent neural networks to adapt the chaotic characteristics of chaotic time series. We define three unique topologies of long short-term memory (LSTM) network and analyze those for chaotic parameter estimation in seven different test cases. We show that the deep LSTM networks are capable of modeling the chaotic behavior of a wide range of parameters and that the network performs the best when the architecture is driven by chaotic attributes of the time series data. To mimic the behavior of brain regions, the third component of the overall objective, we utilize a neural reservoir of spatially distributed spiking neurons to our advantage. This reservoir is inspired by the anatomy and operations of biological brain. It provides a testing platform for final component of the overall objective. The final component is to restore the brain activities using DBS. In this component, we propose a simulation framework to define an optimized DBS stimulus using EEG signals. The objective of this framework is to provide simulation environment inspired by realistic brain. This framework utilizes spiking neurons, similar to realistic neurons, distributed in a reservoir which is inspired by real brain anatomy. This reservoir is trained via spike-time-dependent-plasticity algorithm which is inspired by biologically realistic neural learning process. This reservoir is initially set to OFF-medication state. Then, the synaptic changes are optimized in such a way that the reservoir is forced to drift from OFF-medication state to ON-medication state. The stimulus signal is generated by accumulating the variations in synaptic weights in neural reservoir in target brain region. For validation we analyze this signal and show that the application of this signal as stimulus results in local field potential (LFP) of STN region neurons with increased chaotic level compared to LFP without stimulation using SIM4LIFE simulation software. Individually, each objective is a complete research problem. Combined, they form a closed loop process for brain's monitoring and administration for PD patients.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep brain stimulation is one of the most effective treatments of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This report summarizes the state of the art as at January 2013. Stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus is the most commonly used approach. It improves the core motor symptoms better than medication in patients with advanced disease. It also improves the majority of nonmotor symptoms, such as mood, impulse control disorders, sleep, and some autonomic dysfunctions. Quality of life (QoL) is improved significantly more than with medication. Long-term data show that the treatment is effective for up to 10 years, but the late appearance of l-dopa-resistant symptoms is seemingly not influenced. Internal globus pallidus (GPi) stimulation is less well studied but seems to have similar short-term efficacy. Importantly l-dopa use cannot be reduced with GPi DBS, which is a major disadvantage for patients suffering from medication side-effects, although gait may be influenced more positively. Although short-term QoL improvement seems to be similar to that for subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS – gait and speech may be better improved – long-term data are rare for GPi DBS. Thalamic stimulation in the ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM) is applied only in tremor-dominant elderly patients. The treatment improves the dopa-sensitive symptoms and effectively reduces fluctuations leading to an overall QoL improvement. Although most of the controlled studies have been on advanced PD, the recently published EARLYSTIM study suggests that even patients with a very short duration of their fluctuations and dyskinesia are doing significantly better with neurostimulation in terms of QoL and all major motor outcome parameters.
