Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a recognized therapy for movement disorders with potential for other neurological conditions.
  • The precise mechanism of action and the extent of brain tissue affected by DBS remain incompletely understood.
  • Accurate modeling of DBS is essential for optimizing therapeutic outcomes and understanding its effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a computational model for predicting the volume of tissue activated (VTA) during DBS.
  • To investigate the influence of brain tissue's anisotropic electrical properties on DBS VTA.
  • To apply the model to subthalamic nucleus DBS for Parkinson's disease.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized anatomical and diffusion tensor MRI (DTI) data.
  • Co-registered imaging data with finite element models of the brain and stimulating electrode.
  • Incorporated a DTI tensor field to represent 3D anisotropic and inhomogeneous tissue conductivity.
  • Validated model predictions against observed oculomotor nerve stimulation effects in a Parkinson's patient.

Main Results:

  • The model accurately predicted VTA by integrating structural and functional imaging data.
  • Inclusion of the DTI tensor field significantly altered VTA size and shape compared to isotropic models.
  • Differences in VTA were proportional to stimulation voltage.
  • Model predictions were validated against clinical observations.

Conclusions:

  • The developed model provides anatomically and electrically accurate predictions of DBS VTA.
  • Brain tissue's 3D electrical properties significantly influence the spread of neural activation during DBS.
  • This approach enhances our understanding of DBS mechanisms and can inform treatment optimization for Parkinson's disease and other neurological disorders.
