Evaluation of Anesthetic Specific EEG Dynamics during State Transitions between Loss and Return of Responsiveness.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

electroencephalographic (EEG) information is used to monitor the level of cortical depression of a patient undergoing surgical intervention under general anesthesia. The dynamic state transitions into and out of anesthetic-induced loss and return of responsiveness (LOR, ROR) present a possibility to evaluate the dynamics of the EEG induced by different substances. We evaluated changes in the EEG power spectrum during anesthesia emergence for three different anesthetic regimens. We also assessed the possible impact of these changes on processed EEG parameters such as the permutation entropy (PeEn) and the cerebral state index (CSI).

Methods

we analyzed the EEG from 45 patients, equally assigned to three groups. All patients were induced with propofol and the groups differed by the maintenance anesthetic regimen, i.e., sevoflurane, isoflurane, or propofol. We evaluated the EEG and parameter dynamics during LOR and ROR. For the emergence period, we focused on possible differences in the EEG dynamics in the different groups.

Results

depending on the substance, the EEG emergence patterns showed significant differences that led to a substance-specific early activation of higher frequencies as indicated by the "wake" CSI values that occurred minutes before ROR in the inhalational anesthetic groups.

Conclusion

our results highlight substance-specific differences in the emergence from anesthesia that can influence the EEG-based monitoring that probably have to be considered in order to improve neuromonitoring during general anesthesia.

Ketamine induces EEG oscillations that may aid anesthetic state but not dissociation monitoring.

Project description:ObjectiveKetamine is an anesthetic drug associated with dissociation. Decreased electroencephalogram alpha (8-13 Hz) and low-beta (13-20 Hz) oscillation power have been associated with ketamine-induced dissociation. We aimed to characterize surface electroencephalogram signatures that may serve as biomarkers for dissociation.MethodsWe analyzed data from a single-site, open-label, high-density surface electroencephalogram study of ketamine anesthesia (2 mg/kg, n = 15). We assessed dissociation longitudinally using the Clinician Administered Dissociation States Scale (CADSS) and administered midazolam to attenuate dissociation and enable causal inference. We analyzed electroencephalogram power and global coherence with multitaper spectral methods. Mixed effects models were used to assess whether power and global coherence signatures of ketamine could be developed into dissociation-specific biomarkers.ResultsCompared to baseline, ketamine unresponsiveness was associated with increased frontal power between 0.5 to 9.3 Hz, 12.2 to 16.6 Hz, and 24.4 to 50 Hz. As subjects transitioned into a responsive but dissociated state (mean CADSS ± SD, 22.1 ± 17), there was a decrease in power between 0.5 to 10.3 Hz and 11.7 to 50 Hz. Midazolam reduced dissociation scores (14.3 ± 11.6), decreased power between 4.4 to 11.7 Hz and increased power between 14.2 to 50 Hz. Our mixed-effects model demonstrated a quadratic relationship between time and CADSS scores. When models (frontal power, occipital power, global coherence) were reanalyzed with midazolam and electroencephalogram features as covariates, only midazolam was retained.ConclusionsKetamine is associated with structured electroencephalogram power and global coherence signatures that may enable principled anesthetic state but not dissociation monitoring.SignificanceA neurophysiological biomarker for dissociation may lead to a better understanding of neuropsychiatric disorders.

Loss of TET2 Affects Proliferation and Drug Sensitivity through Altered Dynamics of Cell-State Transitions.

Project description:A persistent puzzle in cancer biology is how mutations, which neither alter growth signaling pathways nor directly interfere with drug mechanism, can still recur and persist in tumors. One example is the mutation of the DNA demethylase tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2 (TET2) in acute myeloid leukemias (AMLs) that frequently persists from diagnosis through remission and relapse, but whose fitness advantage in chemotherapy is unclear. Here, we use isogenic human AML cell lines to show that TET2 loss of function alters the dynamics of transitions between differentiated and stem-like states. A conceptual mathematical model and experimental validation suggest that these altered cell-state dynamics can benefit the cell population by slowing population decay during drug treatment and lowering the number of survivor cells needed to re-establish the initial population. These studies shed light on the functional and phenotypic effects of a TET2 mutation in AML and illustrate how a single gene mutation can alter a cells' phenotypic plasticity. A record of this paper's transparent peer review process is included in the Supplemental Information.

Neuronal Dynamics Regulating Brain and Behavioral State Transitions.

Project description:Prolonged behavioral challenges can cause animals to switch from active to passive coping strategies to manage effort-expenditure during stress; such normally adaptive behavioral state transitions can become maladaptive in psychiatric disorders such as depression. The underlying neuronal dynamics and brainwide interactions important for passive coping have remained unclear. Here, we develop a paradigm to study these behavioral state transitions at cellular-resolution across the entire vertebrate brain. Using brainwide imaging in zebrafish, we observed that the transition to passive coping is manifested by progressive activation of neurons in the ventral (lateral) habenula. Activation of these ventral-habenula neurons suppressed downstream neurons in the serotonergic raphe nucleus and caused behavioral passivity, whereas inhibition of these neurons prevented passivity. Data-driven recurrent neural network modeling pointed to altered intra-habenula interactions as a contributory mechanism. These results demonstrate ongoing encoding of experience features in the habenula, which guides recruitment of downstream networks and imposes a passive coping behavioral strategy.

Activation of Preoptic GABAergic or Glutamatergic Neurons Modulates Sleep-Wake Architecture, but Not Anesthetic State Transitions.

Project description:The precise mechanism of general anesthesia remains unclear. In the last two decades, there has been considerable focus on the hypothesis that anesthetics co-opt the neural mechanisms regulating sleep. This hypothesis is supported by ample correlative evidence at the level of sleep-promoting nuclei, but causal investigations of potent inhaled anesthetics have not been conducted. Here, we tested the hypothesis that chemogenetic activation of discrete neuronal subpopulations within the median preoptic nucleus (MnPO) and ventrolateral preoptic nucleus (VLPO) of the hypothalamus would modulate sleep/wake states and alter the time to loss and resumption of consciousness associated with isoflurane, a potent halogenated ether in common clinical use. We show that activating MnPO/VLPO GABAergic or glutamatergic neurons does not alter anesthetic induction or recovery time. However, activation of these neuronal subpopulations did alter sleep-wake architecture. Notably, we report the novel finding that stimulation of VLPO glutamatergic neurons causes a strong increase in wakefulness. We conclude that activation of preoptic GABAergic or glutamatergic neurons that increase sleep or wakefulness does not substantively influence anesthetic state transitions. These data indicate that the correlative evidence for a mechanistic overlap of sleep and anesthesia at the level of an individual nucleus might not necessarily have strong causal significance.

Excited-state vibration-polariton transitions and dynamics in nitroprusside.

Project description:Strong cavity coupling to molecular vibrations creates vibration-polaritons capable of modifying chemical reaction kinetics, product branching ratios, and charge transfer equilibria. However, the mechanisms impacting these molecular processes remain elusive. Furthermore, even basic elements determining the spectral properties of polaritons, such as selection rules, transition moments, and lifetimes are poorly understood. Here, we use two-dimensional infrared and filtered pump-probe spectroscopy to report clear spectroscopic signatures and relaxation dynamics of excited vibration-polaritons formed from the cavity-coupled NO band of nitroprusside. We apply an extended multi-level quantum Rabi model that predicts transition frequencies and strengths that agree well with our experiment. Notably, the polariton features decay ~3-4 times slower than the polariton dephasing time, indicating that they support incoherent population, a consequence of their partial matter character.

A conserved behavioral state barrier impedes transitions between anesthetic-induced unconsciousness and wakefulness: evidence for neural inertia.

Project description:One major unanswered question in neuroscience is how the brain transitions between conscious and unconscious states. General anesthetics offer a controllable means to study these transitions. Induction of anesthesia is commonly attributed to drug-induced global modulation of neuronal function, while emergence from anesthesia has been thought to occur passively, paralleling elimination of the anesthetic from its sites in the central nervous system (CNS). If this were true, then CNS anesthetic concentrations on induction and emergence would be indistinguishable. By generating anesthetic dose-response data in both insects and mammals, we demonstrate that the forward and reverse paths through which anesthetic-induced unconsciousness arises and dissipates are not identical. Instead they exhibit hysteresis that is not fully explained by pharmacokinetics as previously thought. Single gene mutations that affect sleep-wake states are shown to collapse or widen anesthetic hysteresis without obvious confounding effects on volatile anesthetic uptake, distribution, or metabolism. We propose a fundamental and biologically conserved concept of neural inertia, a tendency of the CNS to resist behavioral state transitions between conscious and unconscious states. We demonstrate that such a barrier separates wakeful and anesthetized states for multiple anesthetics in both flies and mice, and argue that it contributes to the hysteresis observed when the brain transitions between conscious and unconscious states.

Resistance to state transitions in responsiveness is differentially modulated by different volatile anaesthetics in male mice.

Project description:BackgroundRecent studies point to a fundamental distinction between population-based and individual-based anaesthetic pharmacology. At the population level, anaesthetic potency is defined as the relationship between drug concentration and the likelihood of response to a stimulus. At the individual level, even when the anaesthetic concentration is held constant, fluctuations between the responsive and unresponsive states are observed. Notably, these spontaneous fluctuations exhibit resistance to state transitions Rst. Therefore, the response probability in each individual depends not just upon the drug concentration, but also upon responses to previous stimuli. Here, we hypothesise that Rst is distinct from drug potency and is differentially modulated by different anaesthetics.MethodsAdult (14-24 weeks old) C57BL/6J male mice (n=60) were subjected to repeated righting reflex (RR) assays at equipotent steady-state concentrations of isoflurane (0.6 vol%), sevoflurane (1.0 vol%), and halothane (0.4 vol%).ResultsFluctuations in RR were observed for all tested anaesthetics. Analysis of these fluctuations revealed that Rst was differentially modulated by different anaesthetics (F[2, 56.01]=49.59; P<0.0001). Fluctuations in RR were modelled using a stochastic dynamical system. This analysis confirmed that the amount of noise that drives behavioural state transitions depends on the anaesthetic agent (F[2, 42.86]=16.72; P<0.0001).ConclusionsWhilst equipotent doses of distinct anaesthetics produce comparable population response probabilities, they engage dramatically different dynamics in each individual animal. This manifests as a differential aggregate propensity to exhibit state transitions. Thus, resistance to state transitions is a fundamentally distinct, novel measure of individualised anaesthetic pharmacology.

UP-DOWN cortical dynamics reflect state transitions in a bistable network.

Project description:In the idling brain, neuronal circuits transition between periods of sustained firing (UP state) and quiescence (DOWN state), a pattern the mechanisms of which remain unclear. Here we analyzed spontaneous cortical population activity from anesthetized rats and found that UP and DOWN durations were highly variable and that population rates showed no significant decay during UP periods. We built a network rate model with excitatory (E) and inhibitory (I) populations exhibiting a novel bistable regime between a quiescent and an inhibition-stabilized state of arbitrarily low rate. Fluctuations triggered state transitions, while adaptation in E cells paradoxically caused a marginal decay of E-rate but a marked decay of I-rate in UP periods, a prediction that we validated experimentally. A spiking network implementation further predicted that DOWN-to-UP transitions must be caused by synchronous high-amplitude events. Our findings provide evidence of bistable cortical networks that exhibit non-rhythmic state transitions when the brain rests.

Resting state brain dynamics and its transients: a combined TMS-EEG study.

Project description:The brain at rest exhibits a spatio-temporally rich dynamics which adheres to systematic behaviours that persist in task paradigms but appear altered in disease. Despite this hypothesis, many rest state paradigms do not act directly upon the rest state and therefore cannot confirm hypotheses about its mechanisms. To address this challenge, we combined transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG) to study brain's relaxation toward rest following a transient perturbation. Specifically, TMS targeted either the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), i.e. part of the Default Mode Network (DMN) or the superior parietal lobule (SPL), involved in the Dorsal Attention Network. TMS was triggered by a given brain state, namely an increase in occipital alpha rhythm power. Following the initial TMS-Evoked Potential, TMS at MPFC enhances the induced occipital alpha rhythm, called Event Related Synchronisation, with a longer transient lifetime than TMS at SPL, and a higher amplitude. Our findings show a strong coupling between MPFC and the occipital alpha power. Although the rest state is organized around a core of resting state networks, the DMN functionally takes a special role among these resting state networks.

Quantitative analysis of transcriptome dynamics provides novel insights into developmental state transitions.

Project description:BackgroundDuring embryogenesis, the developmental potential of initially pluripotent cells becomes progressively restricted as they transit to lineage restricted states. The pluripotent cells of Xenopus blastula-stage embryos are an ideal system in which to study cell state transitions during developmental decision-making, as gene expression dynamics can be followed at high temporal resolution.ResultsHere we use transcriptomics to interrogate the process by which pluripotent cells transit to four different lineage-restricted states: neural progenitors, epidermis, endoderm and ventral mesoderm, providing quantitative insights into the dynamics of Waddington's landscape. Our findings provide novel insights into why the neural progenitor state is the default lineage state for pluripotent cells and uncover novel components of lineage-specific gene regulation. These data reveal an unexpected overlap in the transcriptional responses to BMP4/7 and Activin signaling and provide mechanistic insight into how the timing of signaling inputs such as BMP are temporally controlled to ensure correct lineage decisions.ConclusionsTogether these analyses provide quantitative insights into the logic and dynamics of developmental decision making in early embryos. They also provide valuable lineage-specific time series data following the acquisition of specific lineage states during development.
