This study reveals spatial-temporal brain correlations using Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA) and electroencephalogram (EEG) data. Findings show hemispheric differences in brain connectivity, particularly in alpha and gamma frequencies.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Brain Imaging

Background:

  • Understanding brain connectivity is crucial for deciphering neural function.
  • Low Resolution Electromagnetic Tomography (LORETA) offers a method for estimating brain electrical activity.
  • Electroencephalography (EEG) provides a non-invasive measure of brain electrical activity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate spatial-temporal correlations in 3D current density estimates derived from EEG using LORETA.
  • To explore relationships between brain regions of interest (ROIs) based on Brodmann areas.

Main Methods:

  • EEG data were recorded from 97 subjects at 19 scalp locations.
  • LORETA current density was computed for 2,394 gray matter pixels.
  • Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated for time series of current density between ROIs.

Main Results:

  • Rhythmic changes in source correlation varied with distance across all ROIs.
  • Occipital regions showed high short-distance correlations; frontal regions showed high long-distance correlations.
  • The right hemisphere exhibited stronger intra-hemispheric correlations than the left, especially in alpha and gamma bands.

Conclusions:

  • Higher neural packing density correlates with greater intra-cortical connection contributions to LORETA source correlations.
  • Spatial frequencies are influenced by intra-cortical 'U' shaped fibers and long-distance connections.
  • Posterior and temporal cortical intra-hemispheric coupling is stronger in the right hemisphere than the left.
