Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Human Brain Mapping
  • Motor Control

Background:

  • Mapping brain connectivity is crucial but often limited to stationary tasks.
  • Advances in high-density electroencephalography (EEG) and Independent Components Analysis (ICA) allow studying brain activity during locomotion.
  • This study aimed to measure cortical effective connectivity during standing and walking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify the effective connectivity of cortical activity during human standing and walking.
  • To investigate how cognitive tasks influence brain connectivity during locomotion.
  • To explore differences in sensorimotor and non-sensorimotor cortical network engagement.

Main Methods:

  • Recorded 248-channel EEG from eight healthy subjects standing and walking on a treadmill.
  • Utilized ICA to isolate electrocortical, electromyographic, and artifact sources.
  • Applied conditional Granger causality to assess effective connectivity between localized cortical source clusters.

Main Results:

  • Sensorimotor cortical connections were weaker during walking than standing.
  • Non-sensorimotor cortical connectivity increased during walking when performing a cognitive task.
  • Cortical involvement appears greater during standing than walking, potentially due to spinal network roles.

Conclusions:

  • Standing exhibits greater functional connectivity in sensorimotor areas compared to walking.
  • This may indicate increased cognitive attention to posture during standing.
  • The methods can be applied to clinical populations to study neural substrates of mobility disorders.
