This study introduces a new method for analyzing brain functional connectivity (FC) using M/EEG data, identifying altered neural communication in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The findings reveal hypersynchronization in specific brain regions, offering potential for early Alzheimer's disease biomarker research.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Magneto/electroencephalography (M/EEG) based brain functional connectivity (FC) analyses often overlook high-dimensional data, typically relying on constrained regions of interest to mitigate the curse of dimensionality.
  • This limitation can lead to conservative hypothesis testing and a reduced ability to detect subtle neural communication changes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a high-dimensional source-based M/EEG-FC analysis method.
  • To identify resting-state brain connectivity alterations in mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease.
  • To introduce a novel neighborhood measure for estimating compact and neurophysiologically plausible neural communication.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented a cluster-permutation statistic (CPS) framework for high-dimensional M/EEG-FC estimation.

  • Introduced a novel neighborhood measure to enhance the estimation of neural communication.
  • Utilized a cluster-strength index to highlight the advantages of CPS analysis in revealing interregional communication.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified clusters of increased communication (hypersynchronization) in MCI patients compared to healthy controls.
    • Observed these changes predominantly in delta (1-4 Hz) and higher-theta (6-8 Hz) frequency bands.
    • Detected significant interactions between occipitofrontal and occipitotemporal regions in the left hemisphere, areas vulnerable in early Alzheimer's disease.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed CPS approach enables high-resolution FC mapping from neuroimaging studies, facilitating multimodal analysis of neural communication.
    • FC clusters provide a more robust representation of interregional communication, less susceptible to individual variability.
    • This methodology can advance the understanding of neural information processing in health and disease, aiding biomarker development for conditions like Alzheimer's disease.
