Alzheimer's disease alters brain electrical activity, shifting dipole sources in EEG across all frequencies. This study identified significant vertical axis shifts in 90% of patients, impacting Alzheimer's diagnosis and monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by electroencephalographic (EEG) changes, including altered low-frequency power, reduced alpha activity, and modified topographical distribution across frequency bands.
  • Understanding the spatial dynamics of brain activity in AD is crucial for developing diagnostic and monitoring tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate modifications in the location and orientation of EEG dipole sources across various frequency bands in patients with Alzheimer's disease compared to healthy controls.
  • To explore the relationship between age and EEG source distribution in the control group.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) approximation to analyze EEG data.
  • Characterized dipole source locations for delta, theta, alpha1, alpha2, beta1, and beta2 frequencies.

  • Compared EEG source locations between 20 Alzheimer's disease patients and 20 age-matched controls using statistical t-tests.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant change in the vertical axis location of the dipole source was observed in 90% of Alzheimer's disease patients, affecting all frequency bands.
    • The dipole source for the alpha1 frequency band showed a significant anterior shift in AD patients.
    • In the control group, age significantly correlated with a more superficial source expression for delta, theta, alpha1, and beta1 bands.

    Conclusions:

    • EEG dipole source analysis reveals significant alterations in brain electrical activity spatial distribution in Alzheimer's disease.
    • These findings suggest that changes in EEG source localization could serve as a potential biomarker for Alzheimer's disease.
    • Age-related changes in EEG source distribution are evident in healthy individuals, providing a baseline for comparison.
