Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS), including optical stimulation and electrical stimulation, has been demonstrated considerable value in exploring pathological brain activity and developing treatments for neural disorders. Advances in DBS microsystems based on implantable microelectrode array (MEA) probes have opened up new opportunities for closed-loop DBS (CL-DBS) in situ. This technology can be used to detect damaged brain circuits and test the therapeutic potential for modulating the output of these circuits in a variety of diseases simultaneously. Despite the success and rapid utilization of MEA probe-based CL-DBS microsystems, key challenges, including excessive wired communication, need to be urgently resolved. In this review, we considered recent advances in MEA probe-based wireless CL-DBS microsystems and outlined the major issues and promising prospects in this field. This technology has the potential to offer novel therapeutic options for psychiatric disorders in the future.

[PMID: 34775553 DOI: 10.1007/s11517-021-02470-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Accepted: 11/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Traditional deep brain stimulation (DBS) is one of the acceptable methods to relieve the clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease in its advanced stages. Today, the use of closed-loop DBS to increase stimulation efficiency and patient satisfaction is one of the most important issues under investigation. The present study was aimed to find local field potential (LFP) features of parkinsonian rats, which can determine the timing of stimulation with high accuracy. The LFP signals from rats were recorded in three groups of parkinsonian rat models receiving stimulation (stimulation), without getting stimulation (off-stimulation), and sham-controlled group. The frequency domain and chaotic features of signals were extracted for classifying three classes by support vector machine (SVM) and neural networks. The best combination of features was selected using the genetic algorithm (GA). Finally, the effective features were introduced to determine the on/off stimulation time, and the optimal stimulation parameters were identified. It was found that a combination of frequency domain and chaotic features with an accuracy of about 99% was able to determine the time the DBS must switch on. In about 80.67% of the 1861 different stimulation parameters, the brain was able to maintain its state for about 3 min after stimulation discontinuation.

[PMID: 31442919 DOI: 10.1016/j.mehy.2019.109360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2019] [Revised: 08/04/2019] [Accepted: 08/11/2019] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an invasive method used for treating Parkinson's disease in its advanced stages. Nowadays, the initial adjustment of DBS parameters and their automatic matching proportion to the progression of the disease is viewed as one of the research areas discussed by the researchers, which is called closed-loop DBS. Various studies were conducted regarding finding the signal(s) which reflects different symptoms of the disease. Local Field Potential (LFP) is one of the signals that is suitable for using as feedback, because it can be recorded by the same implemented electrodes for stimulation. The present study aimed to identify the distinguishing features of patients from healthy individuals using LFP signals. METHODS In the present study, LFP was recorded from the rats in sham and parkinsonian model groups. After evaluating the signals in the frequency domain, sixty-six features were extracted from power spectral density of LFPs. The features were classified by Support Vector Machine (SVM) to determine the ability of features for separating parkinsonian rats from healthy ones. Finally, the most effective features were selected for distinguishing between the sham and parkinsonian model groups using a genetic algorithm. RESULTS The results indicated that the frequency domain features of LFP signals from rats have capacity of using them as a feedback for closed-loop DBS. The accuracy of the Support Vector Machine classification using all 66 features was 80.42% which increased to 84.41% using 38 features selected by genetic algorithm. The proposed method not only increase the accuracy, but it also reduce computation by decreasing the number of the effective features. The results indicate the significant capacity of the proposed method for identifying the effective high-frequency features to control the closed-loop DBS. CONCLUSIONS The ability of using LFP signals as feedback in closed-loop DBS was shown by extracting useful information in frequency bands below and above 100 Hz regarding LFP signals of parkinsonian rats and sham ones. Based on the results, features at frequencies above 100 Hz were more powerful and robust than below 100 Hz. The genetic algorithm was used for optimizing the classification problem.
