Summary

Graph theory analysis of high-resolution EEG reveals distinct cortical network properties in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients. SCI affects motor control networks, showing altered local efficiency and compensatory activation, particularly in the theta frequency band.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Network Science
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Functional brain connectivity can be analyzed using graph theory, representing brain networks as nodes and connections.
  • Graph theory provides a mathematical framework to study complex network structures in the brain.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply graph theoretical approaches to analyze brain functional connectivity using electroencephalography (EEG) signals.
  • To investigate the impact of spinal cord injury (SCI) on cortical network structure and function during motor tasks.

Main Methods:

  • High-resolution EEG was used to measure cortical electrical activity.
  • Directed Transfer Function (DTF) was employed to estimate directional influences between brain regions.
  • Graph theoretical analysis modeled brain networks to assess connectivity patterns.

Main Results:

  • Both healthy and SCI groups exhibited hub regions with high outgoing information flow, particularly cingulate motor areas (CMAs).
  • Spinal cord injury altered the local efficiency of cortical networks, with higher local efficiency observed in SCI patients across theta, alpha, and beta frequency bands.
  • A compensatory mechanism was identified in SCI patients within the theta frequency band, suggesting increased cortical network activation.

Conclusions:

  • Graph theoretical analysis of EEG signals offers a viable method for studying brain functional connectivity.
  • The study highlights specific alterations in cortical network architecture and function following spinal cord injury.
  • Methodological aspects of EEG signal processing, functional connectivity estimation, and graph theoretical analysis were emphasized for real-world applications.
