Regional Personalized Electrodes to Select Transcranial Current Stimulation Target
2013
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
Rationale: Personalizing transcranial stimulations promises to enhance beneficial effects for individual patients. Objective: To stimulate specific cortical regions by developing a procedure to bend and position custom shaped electrodes; to probe the effects on cortical excitability produced when the properly customized electrode is targeting different cortical areas. Method: An ad hoc neuronavigation procedure was developed to accurately shape and place the personalized electrodes on the basis

... of individual brain magnetic resonance images (MRI) on bilateral primary motor (M1) and somatosensory (S1) cortices. The transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) protocol published by Feurra et al. (2011b) was used to test the effects on cortical excitability of the personalized electrode when targeting S1 or M1. Results: Neuronal excitability as evaluated by tACS was different when targeting M1 or S1, with the General Estimating Equation model indicating a clear tCS Effect (p < 0.001), and post hoc comparisons showing solely M1 20 Hz tACS to reduce M1 excitability with respect to baseline and other tACS conditions. Conclusions: The present work indicates that specific cortical regions can be targeted by tCS properly shaping and positioning the stimulating electrode. Significance:Through multimodal brain investigations continuous efforts in understanding the neuronal changes related to specific neurological or psychiatric diseases become more relevant as our ability to build the compensating interventions improves. An important step forward on this path is the ability to target the specific cortical area of interest, as shown in the present pilot work.

Cerebral Hemodynamics and Systemic Endothelial Function Are Already Impaired in Well-Controlled Type 2 Diabetic Patients, with Short-Term Disease
2013
PLoS ONE
Objective: Impaired cerebral vasomotor reactivity (VMR) and flow-mediated dilation (FMD) were found in selected subgroups of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with long-term disease. Our study aimed to evaluate cerebral hemodynamics, systemic endothelial function and sympatho-vagal balance in a selected population of well-controlled T2DM patients with short-term disease and without cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN). Research Design and Methods: Twenty-six T2DM patients with short-term

... .4064.80 years) and well-controlled (HbA1C = 6.7161.29%) disease, without any complications, treated with diet and/or metformin, were consecutively recruited. Eighteen controls, comparable by sex and age, were enrolled also. Results: FMD and shear rate FMD were found to be reduced in T2DM subjects with short-term disease (8.5% SD 3.5 and 2.5 SD 1.3, respectively) compared to controls (15.4% SD 4.1 and 3.5 SD 1.4; p,.001 and p,.05). T2DM patients also displayed reduced VMR values than controls (39.4% SD 12.4 vs 51.7%, SD 15.5; p,.05). Sympatho-vagal balance was not different in T2DM patients compared to healthy subjects. FMD and shear rate FMD did not correlate with VMR in T2DM patients or in controls (p..05). Conclusions: In well-controlled T2DM patients with short-term disease cerebral hemodynamics and systemic endothelial function are altered while autonomic balance appeared to be preserved.
Fronto-parietal coupling of brain rhythms in mild cognitive impairment: A multicentric EEG study
2006
Brain Research Bulletin
Electroencephalographic (EEG) data were recorded in 69 normal elderly (Nold), 88 mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 109 mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) subjects at rest condition, to test whether the fronto-parietal coupling of EEG rhythms is in line with the hypothesis that MCI can be considered as a pre-clinical stage of the disease at group level. Functional coupling was estimated by synchronization likelihood of Laplaciantransformed EEG data at electrode pairs, which accounts for linear and

... non-linear components of that coupling. Cortical rhythms of interest were delta (2-4 Hz), theta (4-8 Hz), alpha 1 (8-10.5 Hz), alpha 2 (10.5-13 Hz), beta 1 (13-20 Hz), beta 2 (20-30 Hz), and gamma (30-40 Hz). Compared to the Nold subjects, the AD patients presented a marked reduction of the synchronization likelihood (delta to gamma) at both fronto-parietal and inter-hemispherical (delta to beta 2) electrodes. As a main result, alpha 1 synchronization likelihood progressively decreased across Nold, MCI, and mild AD subjects at midline (Fz-Pz) and right (F4-P4) fronto-parietal electrodes. The same was true for the delta synchronization likelihood at right fronto-parietal electrodes (F4-P4). For these EEG bands, the synchronization likelihood correlated with global cognitive status as measured by the Mini Mental State Evaluation. The present results suggest that at group level, fronto-parietal coupling of the delta and alpha rhythms progressively becomes abnormal though MCI and mild AD. Future longitudinal research should evaluate whether the present EEG approach is able to predict the cognitive decline in individual MCI subjects. (C. Babiloni).

Accordingly, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is characterized by selective memory impairment insufficient to meet criteria for a diagnosis of dementia [34, 81, 82] . This condition is considered as a prodromic stage of AD [2, 11, 41, 42, 81, 97] . Annual conversion rate from normality to AD is estimated at about 0.2-4% [36, 81] , whereas that from MCI to AD is about 6-25% [81, 83] . These data suggest that, in several (yet not all) cases, MCI is a transition state on a linear progression towards AD. 0361-9230/$ -see front matter
