Cognitive neuroanatomy

Cognitive neuroanatomy aims to explain how microanatomical structures generate macroanatomical functions contributing to measurable behaviors. At the heart of cognitive neuroanatomy is the goal to derive linking functions that can relate (a) behavioral output to (b) functional organization of the brain across spatial scales to (c) anatomical organization across spatial scales.


Methods in neuroscience

Electroencephalography (EEG) - Quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) - Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) - Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) - Magnetoencephalography (MEG) - Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) - Positron emission tomography (PET) - Single-unit recording (SUR) - Transcranial direct-current stimulation (TDCS) - Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)

Neuroanatomy > Methods in neuroscience > Electroencephalography (EEG)


Electroencephalography (EEG) is an electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain.

Theory: It is typically noninvasive, with the electrodes placed along the scalp, although invasive electrodes are sometimes used, as in electrocorticography. EEG measures voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current within the neurons of the brain. Clinically, EEG refers to the recording of the brain's spontaneous electrical activity over a period of time, as recorded from multiple electrodes placed on the scalp.[1] Diagnostic applications generally focus either on event-related potentials or on the spectral content of EEG. The former investigates potential fluctuations time locked to an event, such as 'stimulus onset' or 'button press'. The latter analyses the type of neural oscillations (popularly called "brain waves") that can be observed in EEG signals in the frequency domain.

Applications: EEG is most often used to diagnose epilepsy, which causes abnormalities in EEG readings.[2] It is also used to diagnose sleep disorders, depth of anesthesia, coma, encephalopathies, and brain death. EEG used to be a first-line method of diagnosis for tumors, stroke and other focal brain disorders,[3][4] but this use has decreased with the advent of high-resolution anatomical imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT). Despite limited spatial resolution, EEG continues to be a valuable tool for research and diagnosis. It is one of the few mobile techniques available and offers millisecond-range temporal resolution which is not possible with CT, PET or MRI. Derivatives of the EEG technique include evoked potentials (EP), which involves averaging the EEG activity time-locked to the presentation of a stimulus of some sort (visual, somatosensory, or auditory). Event-related potentials (ERPs) refer to averaged EEG responses that are time-locked to more complex processing of stimuli; this technique is used in cognitive science, cognitive psychology, and psychophysiological research.

Neuroanatomy > Methods in neuroscience > Quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG)


Quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) is a field concerned with the numerical analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) data and associated behavioral correlates.

Theory: Techniques used in digital signal analysis are extended to the analysis of electroencephalography (EEG); these include wavelet analysis and Fourier analysis, with new focus on shared activity between rhythms including phase synchrony (coherence, phase lag) and magnitude synchrony (comodulation/correlation, and asymmetry). The analog signal comprises a microvoltage time series of the EEG, sampled digitally and sampling rates adequate to over-sample the signal (using the Nyquist principle of exceeding twice the highest frequency being detected). Modern EEG amplifiers use adequate sampling to resolve the EEG across the traditional medical band from DC to 70 or 100 Hz, using sample rates of 250/256, 500/512, to over 1000 samples per second, depending on the intended application.

Applications: QEEG has been accepted for clinical application in some areas, such as cerebro-vascular disorders and epilepsy, though it remains yet to be accepted in other clinical areas, such as diagnosing mild traumatic brain injury or psychiatric disorders; the use of QEEG techniques in investigations in clinical and research settings are on going. QEEG has also been utilized to provide neurofeedback, which is a form of biofeedback, wherein electrical activity in the brain is monitored by a computer program, which is applied to modulate visual or auditory stimuli - These stimuli, in turn, are designed to be controlled by the user.



Neuroanatomy > Methods in neuroscience > Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)


Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is the practice of recording electroencephalographic signals via depth electrodes (electrodes surgically implanted into the brain tissue).

Theory: This technique was introduced in the diagnostic work up of patients with epilepsy by the group of the S. Anne Hospital, Paris, France, in the second half of the 20th century. Intracerebral electrodes are placed within the desired brain areas to record the electrical activity during epileptic seizures, thus contributing to define with accuracy the boundaries of the "epileptogenic zone", i.e. the area of brain generating the seizures which should be eventually surgically resected to achieve freedom from epileptic seizures. Potential risks of the procedure, accounting for less than 1% of cases, include brain hemorrhage and infection, which can lead to permanent neurological impairment or death. For this reason, stereoelectroencephalography is reserved to selected and particularly complicated epilepsy cases.

Applications: It may be used in patients with epilepsy not responding to medical treatment, and who are potential candidates to receive brain surgery in order to control seizures, it may also be used in research to collect neural data from specific regions of the brain, such as from the auditory cortex for auditory stimulus reconstruction.



Neuroanatomy > Methods in neuroscience > Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)


Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow.

Theory: This technique relies on the fact that cerebral blood flow and neuronal activation are coupled; when an area of the brain is in use, blood flow to that region also increases. The primary form of fMRI uses the blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) contrast,[4] discovered by Seiji Ogawa; this is a type of specialized brain and body scan used to map neural activity in the brain or spinal cord of humans or other animals by imaging the change in blood flow (hemodynamic response) related to energy use by brain cells.

Applications:

Neuroanatomy > Methods in neuroscience > Magnetoencephalography (MEG)


Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a functional neuroimaging technique for mapping brain activity by recording magnetic fields produced by electrical currents occurring naturally in the brain, using very sensitive magnetometers.

Theory: Arrays of SQUIDs (superconducting quantum interference devices) are currently the most common magnetometer, while the SERF (spin exchange relaxation-free) magnetometer is being investigated for future machines.

Applications: Applications of MEG include basic research into perceptual and cognitive brain processes, localizing regions affected by pathology before surgical removal, determining the function of various parts of the brain, and neurofeedback; this can be applied in a clinical setting to find locations of abnormalities as well as in an experimental setting to simply measure brain activity.



Neuroanatomy > Methods in neuroscience > Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)


Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a spectroscopic method that uses the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (from 780 nm to 2500 nm).

Theory: Near-infrared spectroscopy is based on molecular overtone and combination vibrations; such transitions are forbidden by the selection rules of quantum mechanics. As a result, the molar absorptivity in the near-IR region is typically quite small.[citation needed] One advantage is that NIR can typically penetrate much further into a sample than mid infrared radiation. Near-infrared spectroscopy is, therefore, not a particularly sensitive technique, but it can be very useful in probing bulk material with little or no sample preparation. The molecular overtone and combination bands seen in the near-IR are typically very broad, leading to complex spectra; it can be difficult to assign specific features to specific chemical components. Multivariate (multiple variables) calibration techniques (e.g., principal components analysis, partial least squares, or artificial neural networks) are often employed to extract the desired chemical information. Careful development of a set of calibration samples and application of multivariate calibration techniques is essential for near-infrared analytical methods.

Applications; Typical applications include medical and physiological diagnostics and research including blood sugar, pulse oximetry, functional neuroimaging, sports medicine, elite sports training, ergonomics, rehabilitation, neonatal research, brain computer interface, urology (bladder contraction), and neurology (neurovascular coupling). There are also applications in other areas as well such as pharmaceutical, food and agrochemical quality control, atmospheric chemistry, combustion research and astronomy.



Neuroanatomy > Methods in neuroscience > Positron emission tomography (PET)


Positron-emission tomography (PET) is a nuclear medicine functional imaging technique that is used to observe metabolic processes in the body as an aid to the diagnosis of disease.

Theory: The system detects pairs of gamma rays emitted indirectly by a positron-emitting radioligand, most commonly fluorine-18, which is introduced into the body on a biologically active molecule called a radioactive tracer.

Applications: Different ligands are used for different imaging purposes, depending on what the radiologist/researcher wants to detect. Three-dimensional images of tracer concentration within the body are then constructed by computer analysis. In modern PET computed tomography scanners, three-dimensional imaging is often accomplished with the aid of a computed tomography X-ray scan performed on the patient during the same session, in the same machine. If the biologically active tracer molecule chosen for PET is fludeoxyglucose (FDG), an analogue of glucose, the concentrations of tracer imaged will indicate tissue metabolic activity as it corresponds to the regional glucose uptake. Use of this tracer to explore the possibility of cancer metastasis (i.e., spreading to other sites) is the most common type of PET scan in standard medical care (representing 90% of current scans). Metabolic trapping of the radioactive glucose molecule allows the PET scan to be utilized;[2] the same tracer may also be used for PET investigation and diagnosis of types of dementia. Less often, other radioactive tracers, usually but not always labeled with fluorine-18, are used to image the tissue concentration of other types of molecules of interest. One of the disadvantages of PET scanners is their operating cost.[3] A similar imaging process to PET is single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), which also uses radioligands to detect molecules in the brain, and is less expensive.



Neuroanatomy > Methods in neuroscience > Single-unit recording (SUR)


Single-unit recordings provide a method of measuring the electro-physiological responses of single neurons using a microelectrode system.

Theory: When a neuron generates an action potential, the signal propagates down the neuron as a current which flows in and out of the cell through excitable membrane regions in the soma and axon. A microelectrode is inserted into the brain, where it can record the rate of change in voltage with respect to time. These microelectrodes must be fine-tipped, high-impedance conductors; they are primarily glass micro-pipettes or metal microelectrodes made of platinum or tungsten.[1] Microelectrodes can be carefully placed close to the cell membrane, allowing the ability to record extracellularly.

Applications: Single-unit recordings are widely used in cognitive science, where it permits the analysis of human cognition and cortical mapping. This information can then be applied to brain machine interface (BMI) technologies for brain control of external devices.



Neuroanatomy > Methods in neuroscience > Transcranial direct-current stimulation (TDCS)


Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of neuromodulation that uses constant, low direct current delivered via electrodes on the head. It can be contrasted with cranial electrotherapy stimulation, which generally uses alternating current the same way.

Theory: In transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), an electric coil is held above the region of interest on the scalp that uses rapidly changing magnetic fields to induce small electrical currents in the brain. There are two types of TMS: repetitive TMS and single pulse TMS. Both are used in research therapy but effects lasting longer than the stimulation period are only observed in repetitive TMS. Similar to tDCS, an increase or decrease in neuronal activity can be achieved using this technique, but the method of how this is induced is very different. Transcranial direct current stimulation has the two different directions of current that cause the different effects. Increased neuronal activity is induced in repetitive TMS by using a higher frequency and decreased neuronal activity is induced by using a lower frequency.

Applications: TDCS appears to be somewhat effective for depression.[4] There is also evidence that tDCS is useful in treating neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury [17] and improving activities of daily living assessment after stroke.



Neuroanatomy > Methods in neuroscience > Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)


Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), also known as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), is a noninvasive form of brain stimulation in which a changing magnetic field is used to cause electric current at a specific area of the brain through electromagnetic induction.

Theory: An electric pulse generator, or stimulator, is connected to a magnetic coil, which in turn is connected to the scalp. The stimulator generates a changing electric current within the coil which induces a magnetic field; this field then causes a second inductance of inverted electric charge within the brain itself.

Applications: TMS has shown diagnostic and therapeutic potential in the central nervous system with a wide variety of disease states in neurology and mental health, with research still evolving. Adverse effects of TMS are rare, and include fainting and seizure.[7] Other potential issues include discomfort, pain, hypomania, cognitive change, hearing loss, and inadvertent current induction in implanted devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators.
