Nonlinear EEG parameters of emotional perception in patients with moderate traumatic brain injury, coma, stroke and schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The aim of this study was to determine the EEG changes induced by emotional non-verbal sounds using nonlinear signals' features and also to examine the subjective emotional response in patients with different neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Methods

141 subjects participated in our study: patients after moderate TBI, patients in acute coma, patients after stroke, patients with schizophrenia and controls. 7 types of emotionally charged stimuli were presented. Non-comatose participants were asked to assess the levels of experienced emotions. We analyzed fractal dimension, signal's envelope parameters and Hjorth mobility and complexity.

Results

The Hjorth parameters were negatively correlated with irritation. The fractal dimension was positively correlated with arousal and empathy levels. The only presentation of laughter to post-stroke patients induced the reaction similar to the control group.

Conclusions

The results showed that the investigated nonlinear features of resting state EEG are quite group-specific and also specific to the emotional state.

Significance

The investigated features could serve to diagnose emotional impairments.

Project description:BackgroundIt is not currently possible to predict which patients will develop chronic disorders of consciousness (DoC) after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Although the ascending arousal network (AAN) supports human consciousness, it is unknown which AAN pathways must be preserved for patients to recover consciousness.MethodsSixteen patients with acute traumatic coma and 16 matched healthy controls were scanned with high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI). All patients recovered consciousness (Recovery Cohort). Nine were scanned longitudinally: first in the ICU (Acute), then at ≥5 months post-injury (Follow-up). Six separate patients with post-traumatic DoC were scanned ≥5 months post-injury (Chronic DoC Cohort). For each AAN pathway, we computed the median relative change in Acute-to-Follow-up Connectivity Probability (CP) in the Recovery Cohort. We then used Wilcoxon tests with Bonferroni correction to compare CP in each AAN pathway in the Recovery Cohort at Follow-up versus the Chronic DoC Cohort. In an exploratory analysis, we used principal component analysis (PCA) to determine whether linear combinations of AAN CP values could separate the Chronic DoC Cohort from the Recovery Cohort and the healthy controls.ResultsIn the Recovery Cohort, the largest relative AAN CP changes were in the brainstem-to-thalamus (median [IQR] = 0.7 [0.09, 0.9]) and forebrain-to-occipital lobe (-0.8 [-0.9, -0.8]) pathways. The AAN connections that differed in the cross-sectional analysis between the Recovery Cohort at Follow-up and the Chronic DoC Cohort included brainstem-to-hypothalamus (W = 53, PBonf = 0.02), brainstem-to-temporal lobe (W = 52, PBonf = 0.04), and thalamus-to-temporal lobe (W = 54, PBonf = 0.009). Plotting the first two principal components of AAN connectivity resulted in a linear separation of Chronic DoC patients from other study groups.ConclusionsWe provide evidence for a longitudinal increase in brainstem-thalamic connectivity during recovery of consciousness after traumatic coma. Cross-sectional analyses revealed that brainstem-hypothalamus, brainstem-temporal lobe, and thalamus-temporal lobe connectivity differed between patients who recovered consciousness and those with a chronic DoC. These observations provide the basis for further investigation into AAN connectivity as a biomarker for recovery of consciousness after traumatic coma.
