Previous studies have shown that the somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) recorded from the scalp are modified or gated during motor activity in man. Animal studies show corticospinal tract terminals in afferent relays, viz. dorsal horn of spinal cord, dorsal column nuclei and thalamus. Is the attenuation of the SEP during movement the result of gating in subcortical nuclei? This study has investigated the effect of manipulation and fractionated finger movements of the hand on the subcortically generated short latency SEPs in 9 healthy subjects. Left median nerve SEPs were recorded with electrodes optimally placed to record subcortical activity with the least degree of contamination. There was no statistically significant change in amplitude or latency of the P9, N11, N13, P14, N18 and N20 potentials during rest or voluntary movement of the fingers of the left hand or manipulation of objects placed in the hand. The shape of the N13 wave form was not modified during these 3 conditions. It is concluded that in man attenuation of cortical waves during manipulation is not due to an effect of gating in the subcortical sensory relay nuclei. 相似文献

Event-related potentials in visual and auditory target detection tasks were recorded simultaneously from the scalp, somatosensory thalamus and periaqueductal gray in a chronic pain patient with electrodes implanted subcortically for therapeutic purposes. Short latency tactile responses confirmed the location of the thalamic electrodes.Rare auditory stimuli which were detected by the subject were accompanied by a prominent P300 component at the scalp, and by negative activity at the subcortical sites with the same latency as the scalp positivity. This activity was not seen in responses to frequent non-target stimuli and was not dependent on an overt motor response.Similarly, rare visual stimuli generated a scalp P300 and negative activity subcortically; both scalp and subcortical waves had a longer latency than in the auditory experiment. The reaction time was similarly longer to visual targets.These data are inconsistent with a hippocampal generator for P300, but are consistent with a generator in the thalamus or more dorsally located structures. 相似文献

Readiness potentials on voluntary hand movements were recorded from the scalp (C3, C4), premotor cortex, subcortical white matter and VL nucleus of the thalamus. Subjects were healthy right-handed men and patients with involuntary movement disorders. We obtained a slow negative shift of brain electrical potentials from the scalp and cortex preceding voluntary hand movements. The mean time interval between the onset of the readiness potential and the onset of motor activity (mean T) was 0.8 sec on right hand movements and 1.0 sec on left hand movements in healthy men. In cases with parkinsonism, the mean T value was 1.4 sec in patients with akinesia, 1.1 sec in those without akinesia. The amplitude of readiness potentials was higher in the scalp contralateral to the hand movement. The readiness potentials recorded from the VL nucleus and white matter were reversed in polarity from those of scalp and cortex. Simultaneous recordings from cortex and VL nucleus showed early onset of readiness potentials from the cortex by approximately 0.1 sec compared with the VL nucleus. 相似文献

In patients with parkinsonism to whom in accordance with medical-diagnostic indices electrodes were implanted into the nuclei of thalamus and striopallidal system, impulse activity of neurones was recorded in tests with presentation of visual and acoustic stimuli. It has been shown that neurones of these structures, reacting by a change of discharges frequency in carrying out the assessing actions by man constitute a special class of neurones, spatially separated from those, connected with the organization of motor acts. The typical feature of neuronal reactions is a high degree of their value dependence on the level of attention. Neurones of the above structures reacts also during preparation of the assessing actions and fixation of their results in the short-term memory. 相似文献

Properties of motor potentials (MPs) were studied in patients with disturbance of function of subcortical motor structures--disturbance causing parkinsonism manifestations. MPs components are singled out preceding movement--"readiness potential" (N1), "motor potential" (N2) and MP components which are electrophysiological correlates of realization processes (component P2) and movement completion (component N3). It is revealed that MPs in patients with parkinsonism are changed in comparison with the norm; the most significant differences are observed in components N1, P2, N3, what is expressed in prolongation and a certain amplitude decrease of these components. Amplitude-temporal parameters most similar to the norm belong to the component N2, which is considered as an electrophysiological correlate of movement triggering. A hypothesis is suggested on its cortical origin. 相似文献

An electrocorticographic method of recording after-potentials in response to electrical stimulation of the thalamic nuclei in limbic structures during stereotaxic operations was developed. Altogether 42 patients undergoing operations for subcortical hyperkinesia, pain syndromes, and Kozhevnikov's epilepsy were investigated. The character of the cortical after-discharges in response to stimulation of the ventro-oral nuclear complex (V.o.) and the centrum medianum (Ce) of the thalamus and the amygdala differs in its character. These differences affected the area of spread of after-synchronization of the slow rhythms in regions of the hemispheres, the duration of the bursts of after-activity, and the expression of the accompanying autonomic responses. During the after-response to electrical stimulation of V.o. a relatively local after-synchronization of the slow rhythms in the ECoG was observed in the premotor area on the side of stimulation. The off-response to electrical stimulation of Ce, by contrast with V.o. was bilateral synchronization of the slow rhythm, coinciding in some cases with the appearance of bradypnea, bradycardia, and vasomotor and pilomotor responses. The most marked autonomic responses, associated with long volleys of after-hypersynchronization of slow waves or epileptoid discharges, were observed after stimulation of the amygdala. Problems connected with the mechanisms of after-synchronization of the cortical rhythm and the role of the various thalamic and limbic structures in these mechanisms are discussed.N. N.

Studies attempting to relate the abnormalities of the frontal N30 components of the somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) to motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD) have shown contradictory results. We recorded the frontal and parietal SEPs to median nerve stimulation in 2 groups of PD patients: a group of 17 patients presenting the wearing-off phenomenon, and a group of 10 untreated PD patients. The results were compared with a group of 13 healthy volunteers of the same age and with a group of 10 non-parkinsonian patients. All parkinsonian and non-parkinsonian patients were studied before (“off” condition) and after a subcutaneous injection of apomorphine (“on” condition). The gating effects of a voluntary movement (clenching of the hand) on the SEPs were also studied for the wearing-off group of PD patients (in states off and on) in comparison with the healthy subjects. At rest and in the off condition the amplitude of the frontal N30 was significantly reduced in the 2 groups of PD patients. We demonstrate that the movement gating ability of the PD patient is preserved in spite of the reduced amplitude of the frontal N30. This result suggests that the specific change in the frontal N30 in PD is not the consequence of a continuous gating of the sensory inflow by a motor corollary discharge. Clinical motor improvement induced by apomorphine was associated with a significant enhancement of the frontal N30 wave. In contrast, the subcortical P14 and N18 waves and the cortical N20, P22, P27 and N45 were not statistically modified by the drug. Apomorphine infusion did not change the absolute reduced voltage of the N30 reached during the movement gating. While the frontal N30 component of the non-parkinsonian patients was significantly lower in comparison to healthy subjects, this wave did not change after the apomorphine administration. In the wearing-off PD patient group the frontal N30 increment was positively correlated with the number of off hours per day. This specific apomorphine sensitivity of the frontal N30 was interpreted as a physiological index of the dopaminergic modulatory control exerted on the neuronal structures implicated in the generation of the frontal N30. 相似文献

Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) were recorded in humans from an electrode array which was implanted so that at least two electrodes were placed within the nucleus ventralis posterolateralis (VPL) of the thalamus and/or the medial lemniscus (ML) of the midbrain for therapeutic purposes. Several brief positive deflections (e.g., P11, P13, P14, P15, P16) followed by a slow negative component were recorded from the VPL. The sources of these components were differentiated on the basis of their latency, spatial gradient, and correlation with the sensory experience induced by the stimulation of each recording site. The results indicated that SEPs recorded from the VPL included activity volume-conducted from below the ML (P11), activity in ML fibers running through and terminating within the VPL (P13 and P14), activity in thalamocortical radiations originating in and running througn the VPL (P15, P16 and following positive components) and postsynaptic local activity (the negative component). The sources of the scalp-recorded SEPs were also analyzed on the basis of the timing and spatial gradients of these components. The results suggested that the scalp P11 was a potential volume-conducted from below the ML, the scalp P13 and P14 were potentials reflecting the activity of ML fibers, the small notches on the ascending slope on N16 may potentially reflect the activity of thalamocortical radiations, and N16 may reflect the sum of local postsynaptic activity occurring in broad areas of the brain-stem and thalamus. 相似文献

Oscillatory activity can be widely recorded in the cortex and basal ganglia. This activity may play a role not only in the physiology of movement, perception and cognition, but also in the pathophysiology of psychiatric and neurological diseases like schizophrenia or Parkinson's disease. Ketamine administration has been shown to cause an increase in gamma activity in cortical and subcortical structures, and an increase in 150 Hz oscillations in the nucleus accumbens in healthy rats, together with hyperlocomotion.We recorded local field potentials from motor cortex, caudate-putamen (CPU), substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) in 20 awake rats before and after the administration of ketamine at three different subanesthetic doses (10, 25 and 50 mg/Kg), and saline as control condition. Motor behavior was semiautomatically quantified by custom-made software specifically developed for this setting.Ketamine induced coherent oscillations in low gamma (~ 50 Hz), high gamma (~ 80 Hz) and high frequency (HFO, ~ 150 Hz) bands, with different behavior in the four structures studied. While oscillatory activity at these three peaks was widespread across all structures, interactions showed a different pattern for each frequency band. Imaginary coherence at 150 Hz was maximum between motor cortex and the different basal ganglia nuclei, while low gamma coherence connected motor cortex with CPU and high gamma coherence was more constrained to the basal ganglia nuclei. Power at three bands correlated with the motor activity of the animal, but only coherence values in the HFO and high gamma range correlated with movement. Interactions in the low gamma band did not show a direct relationship to movement.These results suggest that the motor effects of ketamine administration may be primarily mediated by the induction of coherent widespread high-frequency activity in the motor circuit of the basal ganglia, together with a frequency-specific pattern of connectivity among the structures analyzed. 相似文献

Recordings were performed in the thalamus of 13 patients suffering from either abnormal movements or intractable pain, with the aim of delimiting the region to be destroyed or stimulated in order to diminish the syndrome. In 11 of these patients averaged evoked potentials were recorded simultaneously from the scalp and specific thalamus (VP) hand area levels following median nerve stimulation. These recordings were done during the operation or afterwards when an electrode was left in place for a program of stimulation.The latencies of onsets and peaks on the scalp ‘P15’ were compared with those of the VP wave; a clear correspondence was found. Moreover, when increased stimulation was used, both waves began to develop in parallel. Thus in the contralateral ‘P15’ a component exists due to the field produced by the thalamic response. To explain the presence of an ipsilateral scalp ‘P15’ wave, we propose that a second wave having the same latency and a slightly shorter peak exists on the scalp due to a field produced by a brain-stem response. This double origin of ‘P15’ is also shown by the different changes which the ipsilateral and contralateral waves present during changes in alertness.The scalp ‘N18–N20’ is also composed of at least 2 components. The first peak appears on the scalp with a latency shorter than that of the negativity which develops in the thalamus. The N wave, moreover, increases in latency with rapid stimulus repetition. We propose with others that ‘N18’ is a cortical event reflecting the arrival of the thalamo-cortical volley. The second component, ‘N20,’ has a peak latency closely correlated to that of the thalamic negativity. This component was present alone in ‘N’ when rapid stimulation (> 4/sec) was used, which did not change the thalamic response. It must be a field produced by the thalamic negativity. 相似文献

Objective
To study the involvement of the anterior nuclei of the thalamus (ANT) as compared to the involvement of the hippocampus in the processes of encoding and recognition during visual and verbal memory tasks.Methods
We studied intracerebral recordings in patients with pharmacoresistent epilepsy who underwent deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ANT with depth electrodes implanted bilaterally in the ANT and compared the results with epilepsy surgery candidates with depth electrodes implanted bilaterally in the hippocampus. We recorded the event-related potentials (ERPs) elicited by the visual and verbal memory encoding and recognition tasks.Results
P300-like potentials were recorded in the hippocampus by visual and verbal memory encoding and recognition tasks and in the ANT by the visual encoding and visual and verbal recognition tasks. No significant ERPs were recorded during the verbal encoding task in the ANT. In the visual and verbal recognition tasks, the P300-like potentials in the ANT preceded the P300-like potentials in the hippocampus.Conclusions
The ANT is a structure in the memory pathway that processes memory information before the hippocampus. We suggest that the ANT has a specific role in memory processes, especially memory recognition, and that memory disturbance should be considered in patients with ANT-DBS and in patients with ANT lesions.ANT is well positioned to serve as a subcortical gate for memory processing in cortical structures. 相似文献12.

We studied the roles of the cerebellum and caudate nuclei in the programming and control of ballistic movements. An experimental model of operant food-procuring movements of the rats was used; the activity of single neurons of the above structures was recorded in the course of these motor performances. To evaluate the impact of the cerebellar–caudate interaction on the process of control of the ballistic (centrally programmed) components of food-procuring motor performance, we also recorded modifications of the neuronal activity in one of the above-mentioned structures induced by electrical extrastimulation of another structure in the course of realization of the above components. It is demonstrated that the cerebellum and, in particular, its dentate nuclei are involved in the programming of ballistic food-procuring movements. Neurons of the caudate nuclei play a significant role in the immediate preparation for and subsequent current control of stereotyped ballistic movements. The high plastic properties of the cerebellar neurons manifested in the process of control of ballistic food-procuring movements are proved. 相似文献

Many of the ascending pathways to the thalamus have branches involved in movement control. In addition, the recently defined, rich innervation of 'higher' thalamic nuclei (such as the pulvinar) from pyramidal cells in layer five of the neocortex also comes from branches of long descending axons that supply motor structures. For many higher thalamic nuclei the clue to understanding the messages that are relayed to the cortex will depend on knowing the nature of these layer five motor outputs and on defining how messages from groups of functionally distinct output types are combined as inputs to higher cortical areas. Current evidence indicates that many and possibly all thalamic relays to the neocortex are about instructions that cortical and subcortical neurons are contributing to movement control. The perceptual functions of the cortex can thus be seen to represent abstractions from ongoing motor instructions. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to compare cerebral evoked potentials following selective activation of Aβ and Aδ fibers. In 15 healthy subjects, Aβ fibers were activated by electrical stimulation of the left radial nerve at the wrist. Aδ fibers were activated by short painful radian heat pulses, applied to the dorsum of the left hand by a CO2 laser. Evoked potentials were recorded with 15–27 scalp electrodes, evenly distributed over both hemispheres (bandpass 0.5–200 Hz). The laser-evoked potentials exhibited a component with a mean peak latency of 176 msec (N170). Its scalp topography showed a parieto-temporal maximum contralateral to the stimulus side. In contrast, the subsequent vertex negativity (N240), which appeared about 60 msec later, had a symmetrical scalp distribution. Electrically evoked potentials showed a component at 110 msec (N110), that had a topography similar to the laser-evoked N170. The topographies of the N170 and N110 suggest that they may both be generated in the secondary somatosensory cortex. There was no component in the electrically evoked potential that had a comparable interpeak latency to the following vertex potential: for N60 it was longer, for N110 it was shorter. On the other hand, in the laser-evoked potentials no component could be identified the topography of which corresponded to the primary cortical component N20 following electrical stimulation. 相似文献

The anterior faucial pillar, which is innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve, is thought to be important in eliciting the pharyngeal swallow in awake humans. Glossopharyngeal evoked potentials (GPEP), elicited by mechanically stimulating this structure, were recorded from 30 normal adults using standard averaging techniques and a recording montage of 16 scalp electrodes. Ten of the subjects experienced a desire to swallow in response to stimulation. Repeatable responses were recorded from all 30 subjects. The GPEPs recorded from the posterior scalp were W-shaped and consisted of P1, N1, P2, N2 and P3 peaks. Mean latencies of P1, N1 and P2 were 11, 16 and 22 msec, respectively, for both left and right pillar stimulation. In contrast, latencies of N2 and P3 varied significantly between left and right pillar stimulation. Mean latencies of N2 and P3 were 27 and 34 msec for left, and 29 and 35 msec for right pillar stimulation. Topographical maps acquired at peak latencies for P1, N1 and P2 revealed consistent asymmetrical voltage distributions between the two hemispheres; the largest responses were recorded from the hemisphere ipsilateral to the side of stimulation. The scalp topography of N2 and P3 varied between male and female subjects as well as between left and right pillar stimulation. These findings support the hypothesis that mechanical stimulation to the anterior faucial pillar alone can elicit repeatable responses from the central nervous system. The integration of this subcortical/cortical activity with that of the medullary swallowing center may play an important role in eliciting the pharyngeal swallow. 相似文献

Recovery functions of somatosensory evoked potentials were studied by the paired stimulation technique in 61 patients with various neurological disorders. A less suppressive or hyperexcitable phase at short intervals, which had been shown in myoclonic patients, was seen in 22 patients. This abnormality was observed even in patients without myoclonus or involuntary movements, which suggests that this phenomenon is not mainly due to some dysfunction causing myoclonus or movement disorders. Less suppression at short intervals was observed for both N20-P25 and P25-N33 components in most of them. Less suppressive recovery of the N20-P25 component with normal recovery of the P25-N33 component was shown only in 3 patients with subcortical lesions with relative sparing of the cortical elements (Binswanger's subcortical encephalopathy). We conclude that less suppressive recovery of only the N20-P25 component suggests the presence of subcortical lesions. 相似文献

The middle latency vestibular evoked potential (ML-VsEP) recorded with scalp electrodes in man in response to impulses of angular acceleration is dominated by a forehead positive peak at about 15 ms and a negative peak at about 20 ms; the peak amplitude of this component is about 30 μV. This is followed by slower, smaller amplitude activity. The latency of this initial peak is similar to the latency of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) in monkeys. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the possible relation between the ML-VsEPs and VOR. This included recordings from forehead-mastoid electrodes (sites used to record VsEP) and other scalp electrodes and the recording of potentials due to eye movement: the electro-oculogram. Direct recording of eye movements was also conducted using an infra-red reflection device in those experiments in which the head was not moved. The recordings were conducted in man during vestibular stimulation eliciting VsEPs, during voluntary eye movements and during caloric and optokinetic stimulation. These experiments indicated that the 15–20 ms component of the ML-VsEP was not due to movements of the eye (corneoretinal dipole). The large amplitude 15–20 ms component of the ML-VsEP was similar in general magnitude, waveform, polarity, duration and rise time to the highly synchronous pre-saccadic spike (neural and/or myogenic) which precedes nystagnys and voluntary saccades. It therefore probably represents vestibular-initiated electrical activity in motor units of the extra-ocular muscles which then produce anti-compensatory saccades. 相似文献

We analyzed the intracranial spatiotermporal distributions of the N18 component of short median nerve somatosensosry evoked potentials (SSEPs) in 3 patients with epilepsy. In these patients, depth electrodes were implanted bilaterally into the frontal and temporal lobes, with targets including the amygdala and hippocampus; the latter two targets are close to the upper pons and midbrain.In this study N18 was divided into the initial negative peak (N18a) and the following prolonged negativity (N18b). Mapping around the upper pons and midbrain showed that: (1) the amplitude of the first negativity, which coincided with scalp N18a, was larger contralateral to the side of stimulation, but showed no polarity change around the upper brain-stem; and (2) the second negativity, which was similar to scalp N18b, did show an amplitude difference or a polarity change. This wave appeared to reflect a positive-negative dipole directed in a dorso-ventral as well as dorso-lateral direction from the midbrain, where positivity arises from the dorsum of the midbrain, contralateral to the side of the stimulation.Recordings from depth electrode derivations oriented in a caudo-rostral direction suggest that N18a and N18b may in part reflect neural activity originating from the upper pons to midbrain region which projects to the rostral subcortical white matter of the frontal lobe as stationary peaks. 相似文献
