Neuromodulation as a cognitive enhancement strategy in healthy older adults: promises and pitfalls

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Increases in life expectancy have been followed by an upsurge of age-associated cognitive decline. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have risen as promising approaches to prevent or delay such cognitive decline. However, consensus has not yet been reached about their efficacy in improving cognitive functioning in healthy older adults. Here we review the effects of TMS and tDCS on cognitive abilities in healthy older adults. Despite considerable variability in the targeted cognitive domains, design features and outcomes, the results generally show an enhancement or uniform benefit across studies. Most studies employed tDCS, suggesting that this technique is particularly well-suited for cognitive enhancement. Further work is required to determine the viability of these techniques as tools for long-term cognitive improvement. Importantly, the combination of TMS/tDCS with other cognitive enhancement strategies may be a promising strategy to alleviate the cognitive decline associated with the healthy aging process.

What neuromodulation and lesion studies tell us about the function of the mirror neuron system and embodied cognition
Publication year: 2018

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
We review neuromodulation and lesion studies that address how activations in the mirror neuron system contribute to our perception of observed actions. Past reviews showed disruptions of this parieto-premotor network impair imitation and goal and kinematic processing. Recent studies bring five new themes. First, focal perturbations of a node of that circuit lead to changes across all nodes. Second, primary somatosensory cortex is an integral part of this network suggesting embodied representations are somatosensory-motor. Third, disturbing this network impairs the ability to predict the actions of others in the close (~300 ms) future. Fourth, disruptions impair our ability to coordinate our actions with others. Fifth, disrupting this network, the insula or cingulate also impairs emotion recognition.

Abstract/Results:
ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND AND AIM
Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) seemS a promising technique to improve learning in young and elderly healthy subjects, but its mechanisms of action are not well understood. Here, we aim to demonstrate how tES in combination with a perceptual learning (PL) paradigm modulates cortical excitability and performance in young healthy subjects. Moreover, we want to explore behavioral and neurophysiological tES effects in PL in healthy aging to investigate modifications in cortical excitability and connectivity in the lifespan. Finally, we aim to highlight correlations between excitability, connectivity and behavioral performance.
METHOD
Healthy young (N=45) and elderly (N=36) subjects performed a PL task, before, during and after tES (1.5 mA over Oz) in three stimulation conditions: transcranial random noise stimulation - tRNS, anodal transcranial direct current stimulation - atDCS, sham. TMS-EEG coregistration preceded and followed the PL+tES.
RESULTS
In young, tRNS abolished the behavioral learning effect observed in the sham condition, while A-tDCS had no effect. In elderly, no effect of stimulation was found. The analysis of TMS evoked potentials (TEPs) showed a pre-post modulation in both the age groups (central cluster, ~90-140ms), regardless of the stimulation condition.
CONCLUSIONS
Neurophysiological results (TEPs) suggest that young and elderly have a different baseline visual system connectivity, which may influence tES effects. The presence of neuromodulation effects only in young subjects add evidences about the inadequacy of the young brain as a model to test the effect of tES, when the interest is in developing protocols of stimulation efficacious in aging.

Transcranial electrical stimulation: What we know and do not know about mechanisms
Publication year: 2017

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5405830/
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In recent years, there has been remarkable progress in the understanding and practical use of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) techniques. Nevertheless, to date, this experimental effort has not been accompanied by substantial reflections on the models and mechanisms that could explain the stimulation effects. Given these premises, the aim of this article is to provide an updated picture of what we know about the theoretical models of tES that have been proposed to date, contextualized in a more specific and unitary framework. We demonstrate that these models can explain the tES behavioral effects as distributed along a continuum from stimulation dependent to network activity dependent. In this framework, we also propose that stochastic resonance is a useful mechanism to explain the general online neuromodulation effects of tES. Moreover, we highlight the aspects that should be considered in future research. We emphasize that tES is not an "easy-to-use" technique; however, it may represent a very fruitful approach if applied within rigorous protocols, with deep knowledge of both the behavioral and cognitive aspects and the more recent advances in the application of stimulation.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In the first phase we tested the effects of different tES protocols in visuo-spatial contextual learning (VSCL).
The study comprised three sessions designed to evaluate tDCS-induced changes in VSCL measures collected during the execution of a visual search task widely used to examine statistical learning in the visuo-spatial domain. In Experiment1 (E1), we probed for the effects of left-posterior parietal cortex (PPC) anodal-tDCS (AtDCS) at different timings (offline and online) and intensities (3mA, 1.5mA). The protocol producing the more robust effect in E1 was used in E2 with a swapped electrodes montage, while In E3, left-PPC 3mA cathodal-tDCS (CtDCS) was applied offline and online to investigate the effects on neuronal excitability reduction on VSCL.
Results revealed that high intensity offline AtDCS reduced VSCL regardless of the stimulation side (E1 & 2), while no significant behavioural changes were produced by both online AtDCS protocols (E1) and offline/online CtDCS (E3). The reduced VSCL could result from homeostatic mechanisms produced by the interaction of two excitability-increasing events hindering normal task-related neuroplastic phenomena.
In the second phase of project, we examined the neurophysiological correlates of modified cognitive performance by 3mA anodal-tDCS offline on left-posterior parietal cortex (PPC).
We acquired various electrophysiological measures in order to fully investigate the neural modifications induced by the application of the tES protocol producing the more robust effect in the first phase of the project. Electrophysiological measures were recorded both during the execution of the behavioural task (ERP measures) and during TMS-EEG co-registration at three different intervals (before tDCS (TEP1), after tDCS but before task (TEP2) and after task (TEP3)).
ERPs revealed a significant difference in the amplitude of N1 and P3 and this modulation could be interpreted as a general memory-mediated attentional capture produced by visual contexts that were repeated over time. Interestingly, Real-tDCS also produced a strong significant increase in the amplitude of the posterior P2 component in response to both repeated and not-repeated visual contexts. This modulation could reflect a stimulation dependent reduction of perceived saliency associated with the presentation of the visual search arrays. TMS-evoked potentials show that the only application of tDCS does not produce changes in connectivity, but there is a different pattern between real and sham conditions when participants are also asked to perform a cognitive task and it improves with time. Furthermore, the difference between TEP 1 and TEP 3 in sham condition, and not in the real one, suggests a reduction of cortical activation after real stimulation.

Neurophysiological correlates of a single session of prefrontal tDCS in patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness: A pilot double-blind randomized controlled study
Publication year: 2020

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC) was reported to promote the recovery of signs of consciousness in some patients in a minimally conscious state (MCS), but its electrophysiological effects on brain activity remain poorly understood.
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to assess behavioral (using the Coma Recovery Scale—Revised; CRS-R) and neurophysiological effects (using high density electroencephalography; hdEEG) of lDLPFC-tDCS in patients with prolonged disorders of consciousness (DOC).
METHODS
In a double-blind, sham-controlled, crossover design, one active and one sham tDCS (2 mA, 20 min) were delivered in a randomized order. Directly before and after tDCS, 10 min of hdEEG were recorded and the CRS-R was administered.
RESUTLS
Thirteen patients with severe brain injury were enrolled in the study. We found higher relative power at the group level after the active tDCS session in the alpha band in central regions and in the theta band over the frontal and posterior regions (uncorrected results). Higher weighted symbolic mutual information (wSMI) connectivity was found between left and right parietal regions, and higher fronto-parietal weighted phase lag index (wPLI) connectivity was found, both in the alpha band (uncorrected results). At the group level, no significant treatment effect was observed. Three patients showed behavioral improvement after the active session and one patient improved after the sham.
CONCLUSION
We provide preliminary indications that neurophysiological changes can be observed after a single session of tDCS in patients with prolonged DOC, although they are not necessarily paralleled with significant behavioral improvements.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Neuromodulation techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) are routinely used for treating neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders, and for enhancement of cognitive abilities. Recently, their effectiveness in modulating behavioral and neural responses has been questioned. Here we use excitatory and inhibitory tDCS prior to a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment to show that neural responses for an area's preferred stimuli depend on the polarity of stimulation. This is an important, yet overlooked, data point in demonstrating the effectiveness of these stimulation techniques. Our results show that response preferences in the target area are dependent on the polarity of the tDCS session preceding the fMRI experiment these preferences are less distinct in the cathodal than in the anodal session. As such, we show unequivocally that tDCS modulates neural responses. This result is of the utmost importance in demonstrating the effectiveness of tDCS for clinical and experimental purposes.

Abstract/Results: Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) over the prefrontal cortex can improve signs of consciousness in patients in a minimally conscious state. Transcranial pulsed-current stimulation (tPCS) over the mastoids can modulate brain activity and connectivity in healthy controls. This study investigated the feasibility of tPCS as a therapeutic tool in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) and compared its neurophysiological and behavioral effects with prefrontal tDCS. This pilot study was a randomized, double-blind sham-controlled clinical trial with three sessions: bi-mastoid tPCS, prefrontal tDCS, and sham. Electroencephalography (EEG) and behavioral assessments were collected before and after each stimulation session. Post minus pre differences were compared using Kruskal–Wallis and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Twelve patients with DoC were included in the study (eight females, four traumatic brain injury, 50.3 ± 14 y.o., 8.8 ± 10.5 months post-injury). We did not observe any side-effects following tPCS, nor tDCS, and confirmed their feasibility and safety. We did not find a significant effect of the stimulation on EEG nor behavioral outcomes for tPCS. However, consistent with prior findings, our exploratory analyses suggest that tDCS induces behavioral improvements and an increase in theta frontal functional connectivity.

The approved applications have benefited from grants in amounts comprised between €5,000 and €50, 000. The amount to be granted is fixed by the Scientific board according to the needs of each project.
The supported projects have originated, until April 2013, in about 600 full papers, 172 out of which were published in indexed international journals with an average impact factor of 3.6 and a substantial number of citations (1665).
Among the BIAL Foundation fellows is worth highlighting the presence of scientists from prestigious universities from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Russia, Germany, Japan, France, Canada, and many others.
The BIAL grants are promoted biannually.

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Several studies have examined whether electroencephalography neurofeedback (EEG-NF), a self-regulatory technique where an individual receives real-time feedback on a pattern of brain activity that is theoretically linked to a target behaviour, can enhance episodic memory. The aim of this research was to i) provide a qualitative overview of the literature, and ii) conduct a meta-analysis of appropriately controlled studies to determine whether EEG-NF can enhance episodic memory. The literature search returned 46 studies, with 21 studies (44 effect sizes) meeting the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. The qualitative overview revealed that, across EEG-NF studies on both healthy and clinical populations, procedures and protocols vary considerably and many studies were insufficiently powered with inadequate design features. The meta-analysis, conducted on studies with an active control, revealed a small-size, significant positive effect of EEG-NF on episodic memory performance (g = 0.31, p = 0.003), moderated by memory modality and EEG-NF self-regulation success. These results are discussed with a view towards optimising EEG-NF training and subsequent benefits to episodic memory.

Clinical application of neuromodulation therapy in patients with disorder of consciousness: A pooled analysis of 544 participants
Publication year: 2023

https://content.iospress.com/articles/neurorehabilitation/nre230103
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND:The number of patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) has increased dramatically with the advancement of intensive care and emergency medicine, which brings tremendous economic burdens and even ethical issues to families and society.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effectiveness of neuromodulation therapy for patients with DoC. METHODS:First, we conducted a literature review of individual patient data (IPD) on PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane-controlled trials following PRISMA guidelines. Then, we collected neuromodulation cases from our institution. Finally, we conducted a pooled analysis using the participants from the medical literature (n = 522) and our local institutions (n = 22).
RESULTS:In this pooled analysis of 544 patients with DoC with a mean age of 46.33 years, our results revealed that patients have improved CRS-R scores [1.0 points (95% CI, 0.57–1.42)] after neuromodulation. Among them, patients have better effectiveness in traumatic than non-traumatic etiology (P < 0.05). The effectiveness of consciousness improvement could be affected by the age, baseline consciousness state, and duration of stimulation. Compared with non-invasive intervention, an invasive intervention can bring more behavioral improvement (P < 0.0001) to MCS rather than UWS/VS patients. Importantly, neuromodulation is a valuable therapy even years after the onset of DoC.
CONCLUSION:This pooled analysis spotlights that the application of neuromodulation can improve the behavioral performance of patients with DoC. A preliminary trend is that age, etiology, baseline consciousness state, and stimulation duration could impact its effectiveness.

Brain state identification and neuromodulation to promote recovery of consciousness
Publication year: 2024
URL:
https://doi.org/10.1093/braincomms/fcae362
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
Experimental and clinical studies of consciousness identify brain states (i.e. quasi-stable functional cerebral organization) in a non-systematic manner and largely independent of the research into brain state modulation. In this narrative review, we synthesize advances in the identification of brain states associated with consciousness in animal models and physiological (sleep), pharmacological (anaesthesia) and pathological (disorders of consciousness) states of altered consciousness in humans. We show that in reduced consciousness the frequencies in which the brain operates are slowed down and that the pattern of functional communication is sparser, less efficient, and less complex. The results also highlight damaged resting-state networks, in particular the default mode network, decreased connectivity in long-range connections and especially in the thalamocortical loops. Next, we show that therapeutic approaches to treat disorders of consciousness, through pharmacology (e.g. amantadine, zolpidem), and (non-) invasive brain stimulation (e.g. transcranial direct current stimulation, deep brain stimulation) have shown partial effectiveness in promoting consciousness recovery. Although some features of conscious brain states may improve in response to neuromodulation, targeting often remains non-specific and does not always lead to (behavioural) improvements. The fields of brain state identification and neuromodulation of brain states in relation to consciousness are showing fascinating developments that, when integrated, might propel the development of new and better-targeted techniques for disorders of consciousness. We here propose a therapeutic framework for the identification and modulation of brain states to facilitate the interaction between the two fields. We propose that brain states should be identified in a predictive setting, followed by theoretical and empirical testing (i.e. in animal models, under anaesthesia and in patients with a disorder of consciousness) of neuromodulation techniques to promote consciousness in line with such predictions. This framework further helps to identify where challenges and opportunities lay for the maturation of brain state research in the context of states of consciousness. It will become apparent that one angle of opportunity is provided through the addition of computational modelling. Finally, it aids in recognizing possibilities and obstacles for the clinical translation of these diagnostic techniques and neuromodulation treatment options across both the multimodal and multi-species approaches outlined throughout the review.
