Neurovascular coupling is optimized to compensate for the increase in proton production from nonoxidative glycolysis and glycogenolysis during brain activation and maintain homeostasis of pH, pCO 2, and pO 2. J Neurochem 2024; 168:632-662. [PMID: 37150946 PMCID: PMC10628336 DOI: 10.1111/jnc.15839] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2022] [Revised: 04/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
During transient brain activation cerebral blood flow (CBF) increases substantially more than cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (CMRO2) resulting in blood hyperoxygenation, the basis of BOLD-fMRI contrast. Explanations for the high CBF versus CMRO2 slope, termed neurovascular coupling (NVC) constant, focused on maintenance of tissue oxygenation to support mitochondrial ATP production. However, paradoxically the brain has a 3-fold lower oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) than other organs with high energy requirements, like heart and muscle during exercise. Here, we hypothesize that the NVC constant and the capillary oxygen mass transfer coefficient (which in combination determine OEF) are co-regulated during activation to maintain simultaneous homeostasis of pH and partial pressure of CO2 and O2 (pCO2 and pO2). To test our hypothesis, we developed an arteriovenous flux balance model for calculating blood and brain pH, pCO2, and pO2 as a function of baseline OEF (OEF0), CBF, CMRO2, and proton production by nonoxidative metabolism coupled to ATP hydrolysis. Our model was validated against published brain arteriovenous difference studies and then used to calculate pH, pCO2, and pO2 in activated human cortex from published calibrated fMRI and PET measurements. In agreement with our hypothesis, calculated pH, pCO2, and pO2 remained close to constant independently of CMRO2 in correspondence to experimental measurements of NVC and OEF0. We also found that the optimum values of the NVC constant and OEF0 that ensure simultaneous homeostasis of pH, pCO2, and pO2 were remarkably similar to their experimental values. Thus, the high NVC constant is overall determined by proton removal by CBF due to increases in nonoxidative glycolysis and glycogenolysis. These findings resolve the paradox of the brain's high CBF yet low OEF during activation, and may contribute to explaining the vulnerability of brain function to reductions in blood flow and capillary density with aging and neurovascular disease.

Abstract
Cellular and organism survival depends upon the regulation of pH, which is regulated by highly specialized cell membrane transporters, the solute carriers (SLC) (For a comprehensive list of the solute carrier family members, see: https://www.bioparadigms.org/slc/ ). The SLC4 family of bicarbonate (HCO3-) transporters consists of ten members, sorted by their coupling to either sodium (NBCe1, NBCe2, NBCn1, NBCn2, NDCBE), chloride (AE1, AE2, AE3), or borate (BTR1). The ionic coupling of SLC4A9 (AE4) remains controversial. These SLC4 bicarbonate transporters may be controlled by cellular ionic gradients, cellular membrane voltage, and signaling molecules to maintain critical cellular and systemic pH (acid-base) balance. There are profound consequences when blood pH deviates even a small amount outside the normal range (7.35-7.45). Chiefly, Na+-coupled bicarbonate transporters (NCBT) control intracellular pH in nearly every living cell, maintaining the biological pH required for life. Additionally, NCBTs have important roles to regulate cell volume and maintain salt balance as well as absorption and secretion of acid-base equivalents. Due to their varied tissue expression, NCBTs have roles in pathophysiology, which become apparent in physiologic responses when their expression is reduced or genetically deleted. Variations in physiological pH are seen in a wide variety of conditions, from canonically acid-base related conditions to pathologies not necessarily associated with acid-base dysfunction such as cancer, glaucoma, or various neurological diseases. The membranous location of the SLC4 transporters as well as recent advances in discovering their structural biology makes them accessible and attractive as a druggable target in a disease context. The role of sodium-coupled bicarbonate transporters in such a large array of conditions illustrates the potential of treating a wide range of disease states by modifying function of these transporters, whether that be through inhibition or enhancement.

Abstract
Visceral signals are constantly processed by our central nervous system, enable homeostatic regulation, and influence perception, emotion, and cognition. While visceral processes at the cortical level have been extensively studied using non-invasive imaging techniques, very few studies have investigated how this information is processed at the single neuron level, both in humans and animals. Subcortical regions, relaying signals from peripheral interoceptors to cortical structures, are particularly understudied and how visceral information is processed in thalamic and subthalamic structures remains largely unknown. Here, we took advantage of intraoperative microelectrode recordings in patients undergoing surgery for deep brain stimulation (DBS) to investigate the activity of single neurons related to cardiac and respiratory functions in three subcortical regions: ventral intermedius nucleus (Vim) and ventral caudalis nucleus (Vc) of the thalamus, and subthalamic nucleus (STN). We report that the activity of a large portion of the recorded neurons (about 70%) was modulated by either the heartbeat, the cardiac inter-beat interval, or the respiration. These cardiac and respiratory response patterns varied largely across neurons both in terms of timing and their kind of modulation. A substantial proportion of these visceral neurons (30%) was responsive to more than one of the tested signals, underlining specialization and integration of cardiac and respiratory signals in STN and thalamic neurons. By extensively describing single unit activity related to cardiorespiratory function in thalamic and subthalamic neurons, our results highlight the major role of these subcortical regions in the processing of visceral signals.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP and adenosine are neuromodulators that regulate numerous neuronal functions in the brain. Neuronal activity and brain insults such as ischemic and traumatic injury upregulate these neuromodulators, which exert their effects by activating purinergic receptors. In addition, extracellular ATP/adenosine signaling plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of neurological diseases. Virtually every cell type in the brain contributes to the elevation of ATP/adenosine, and various mechanisms underlying this increase have been proposed. Extracellular adenosine is thought to be mainly produced via the degradation of extracellular ATP. However, adenosine is also released from neurons and glia in the brain. Therefore, the regulation of extracellular ATP/adenosine in physiological and pathophysiological conditions is likely far more complex than previously thought. To elucidate the complex mechanisms that regulate extracellular ATP/adenosine levels, accurate methods of assessing their spatiotemporal dynamics are needed. Several novel techniques for acquiring spatiotemporal information on extracellular ATP/adenosine, including fluorescent sensors, have been developed and have started to reveal the mechanisms underlying the release, uptake and degradation of ATP/adenosine. Here, we review methods for analyzing extracellular ATP/adenosine dynamics as well as the current state of knowledge on the spatiotemporal dynamics of ATP/adenosine in the brain. We focus on the mechanisms used by neurons and glia to cooperatively produce the activity-dependent increase in ATP/adenosine and its physiological and pathophysiological significance in the brain.

Predicting long-term neurocognitive outcome after pediatric intensive care unit admission for bronchiolitis-preliminary exploration of the potential of machine learning. Eur J Pediatr 2024; 183:471-482. [PMID: 37930398 PMCID: PMC10857960 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-05307-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 09/29/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE For successful prevention and intervention, it is important to unravel the complex constellation of factors that affect neurocognitive functioning after pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission. This study aims (1) to elucidate the potential relevance of patient and PICU-related characteristics for long-term adverse neurocognitive outcome after PICU admission for bronchiolitis, and (2) to perform a preliminary exploration of the potential of machine learning as compared to linear regression to improve neurocognitive outcome prediction in a relatively small sample of children after PICU admission. METHODS This cross-sectional observational study investigated 65 children aged 6-12 years with previous PICU admission for bronchiolitis (age ≤ 1 year). They were compared to demographically comparable healthy peers (n = 76) on neurocognitive functioning. Patient and PICU-related characteristics used for the prediction models were as follows: demographic characteristics, perinatal and disease parameters, laboratory results, and intervention characteristics, including hourly validated mechanical ventilation parameters. Neurocognitive outcome was measured by intelligence and computerized neurocognitive testing. Prediction models were developed for each of the neurocognitive outcomes using Regression Trees, k-Nearest Neighbors, and conventional linear regression analysis. RESULTS The patient group had lower intelligence than the control group (p < .001, d = -0.59) and poorer performance in neurocognitive functions, i.e., speed and attention (p = .03, d = -0.41) and verbal memory (p < .001, d = -0.60). Lower intelligence was predicted by lower birth weight and lower socioeconomic status (R2 = 25.9%). Poorer performance on the speed and attention domain was predicted by younger age at follow-up (R2 = 53.5%). Poorer verbal memory was predicted by lower birth weight, younger age at follow-up, and greater exposure to acidotic events (R2 = 50.6%). The machine learning models did not reveal added value in terms of model performance as compared to linear regression. CONCLUSION The findings of this study suggest that in children with previous PICU admission for bronchiolitis, (1) lower birth weight, younger age at follow-up, and lower socioeconomic status are associated with poorer neurocognitive outcome; and (2) greater exposure to acidotic events during PICU admission is associated with poorer verbal memory outcome. The findings of this study provide no evidence for the added value of machine learning models as compared to linear regression analysis in the prediction of long-term neurocognitive outcome in a relatively small sample of children. WHAT IS KNOWN • Adverse neurocognitive outcomes are described in PICU survivors, which are known to interfere with development in other major domains of functioning, such as mental health, academic achievement, and socioeconomic success, highlighting neurocognition as an important outcome after PICU admission. • Machine learning is a rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence that is increasingly applied in health care settings, with great potential to capture the complexity of outcome prediction. WHAT IS NEW • This study shows that lower birth weight, lower socioeconomic status, and greater exposure to acidotic events during PICU admission for bronchiolitis are associated with poorer long-term neurocognitive outcome after PICU admission. Results provide no evidence for the added value of machine learning models in a relatively small sample of children. • As bronchiolitis seldom manifests neurologically, the relation between acidotic events and neurocognitive outcome may reflect either potentially harmful effects of acidosis itself or related processes such as hypercapnia or hypoxic and/or ischemic events during PICU admission. This study further highlights the importance of structured follow-up to monitor long-term outcome of children after PICU admission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) and cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2 ) may serve as biomarkers in several diseases. OEF and CMRO2 can be estimated from venous blood oxygenation (Yv ) levels, which in turn can be calculated from venous blood T2 values (T2b ). T2b can be measured using different MRI sequences, including T2-relaxation-under-spin-tagging (TRUST) and T2-prepared-blood-relaxation-imaging-with-inversion-recovery (T2-TRIR). The latter measures both T2b and T1 (T1b ) but was found previously to overestimate T2b compared to TRUST. It remained unclear, however, if this bias is constant across higher and lower oxygen saturations. PURPOSE To compare TRUST and T2-TRIR across a range of O2 saturations using hypoxic and hypercapnic gas challenges. STUDY TYPE Prospective. POPULATION Twelve healthy volunteers (four female, age 36 ± 10 years). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE A 3T; turbo-field echo-planar-imaging (TFEPI), echo-planar-imaging (EPI), and fast-field-echo (FFE). ASSESSMENT TRUST- and T2-TRIR-derived T2b , Yv , OEF, and CMRO2 were compared across different respiratory challenges. T1b from T2-TRIR was used to estimate Hct (HctTRIR ) and compared with venipuncture (HctVP ). STATISTICAL TESTS Shapiro-Wilk, one-sample and paired-sample t-test, repeated measures ANOVA, Friedman test, Bland-Altman, and correlation analysis. Bonferroni multiple-comparison correction was performed. Significance level was 0.05. RESULTS A significant bias was observed between TRUST- and T2-TRIR-derived T2b , Yv , and OEF values (-13 ± 11 msec, -5.3% ± 3.5% and 5.9 ± 4.1%, respectively). For Yv and OEF, this bias was constant across the range of measured values. T1b was significantly lower during severe hypoxia and hypercapnia compared to baseline (1712 ± 86 msec and 1634 ± 79 msec compared to 1757 ± 90 msec). While no significant bias was found between HctVP and HctTRIR (0.02% ± 0.06%, P = 0.20), the correlation between these Hct values was significant but weak (r = 0.19). DATA CONCLUSION Given the constant bias, TRUST- and T2-TRIR-derived venous T2b values can be used interchangeably to estimate Yv , OEF, and CMRO2 across a broad range of oxygen saturations. Hct from T2-TRIR-derived T1-values only weakly correlated with Hct from venipuncture. EVIDENCE LEVEL 2 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is traditionally considered as metabolic waste, yet its regulation is critical for brain function. It is well accepted that hypercapnia initiates vasodilation, but its effect on neuronal activity is less clear. Distinguishing how stimulus- and CO2-induced vasodilatory responses are (dis)associated with neuronal activity has profound clinical and experimental relevance. We used an optical method in mice to simultaneously image fluorescent calcium (Ca2+) transients from neurons and reflectometric hemodynamic signals during brief sensory stimuli (i.e., hindpaw, odor) and CO2 exposure (i.e., 5%). Stimuli-induced neuronal and hemodynamic responses swiftly increased within locally activated regions exhibiting robust neurovascular coupling. However, hypercapnia produced slower global vasodilation which was temporally uncoupled to neuronal deactivation. With trends consistent across cerebral cortex and olfactory bulb as well as data from GCaMP6f/jRGECO1a mice (i.e., green/red Ca2+ fluorescence), these results unequivocally reveal that stimuli and CO2 generate comparable vasodilatory responses but contrasting neuronal responses. In summary, observations of stimuli-induced regional neurovascular coupling and CO2-induced global neurovascular uncoupling call for careful appraisal when using CO2 in gas mixtures to affect vascular tone and/or neuronal excitability, because CO2 is both a potent vasomodulator and a neuromodulator.

Patients with traumatic brain injury are typically maintained at low-normal levels of arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) to counteract the risk of elevated intracranial pressure during intensive care. However, several studies suggest that management at hypercarbic levels may have therapeutic benefit. Here we examined the impact of CO2 levels on spreading depolarizations (SD), a mechanism and marker of acute lesion development in stroke and brain trauma. In an acute preparation of mechanically ventilated (30/70 O2/N2) female rats, SDs were evoked by cortical KCl application and monitored by electrophysiology and laser doppler flowmetry; CO2 levels were adjusted by ventilator settings and supplemental CO2. During 90 min of KCl application, rats were maintained at hypocapnia (end-tidal CO2 22 ± 2 mmHg) or hypercapnia (57 ± 4 mmHg) but did not differ significantly in arterial pH (7.31 ± 0.10 vs. 7.22 ± 0.08, p = 0.31) or other variables. Surprisingly, there was no difference between groups in the number of SDs recorded (10.7 ± 4.2 vs. 11.7 ± 3.1; n = 3 rats/group; p = 0.75) nor in SD durations (64 ± 27 vs. 69 ± 37 sec, p = 0.54). In separate experiments (n = 3), hypoxia was induced by decreasing inhaled O2 to 10% and single SDs were induced under interleaved conditions of hypo-, normo-, and hypercapnia. No differences in SD duration were observed. In both normoxia and hypoxia experiments, however, mean arterial pressures were negatively correlated with SD durations (normoxia R2 = -0.29; hypoxia R2 = -0.61, p's < 0.001). Our results suggest that any therapeutic benefit of elevated CO2 therapy may be dependent on an acidic shift in pH or may only be observed in conditions of focal brain injury.

A genetic variation in the adenosine A2A receptor gene contributes to variability in oscillatory alpha power in wake and sleep EEG and A 1 adenosine receptor availability in the human brain. Neuroimage 2023; 280:120345. [PMID: 37625500 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuroimage.2023.120345] [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: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/22/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
The EEG alpha rhythm (∼ 8-13 Hz) is one of the most salient human brain activity rhythms, modulated by the level of attention and vigilance and related to cerebral energy metabolism. Spectral power in the alpha range in wakefulness and sleep strongly varies among individuals based on genetic predisposition. Knowledge about the underlying genes is scarce, yet small studies indicated that the variant rs5751876 of the gene encoding A2A adenosine receptors (ADORA2A) may contribute to the inter-individual variation. The neuromodulator adenosine is directly linked to energy metabolism as product of adenosine tri-phosphate breakdown and acts as a sleep promoting molecule by activating A1 and A2A adenosine receptors. We performed sleep and positron emission tomography studies in 59 healthy carriers of different rs5751876 alleles, and quantified EEG oscillatory alpha power in wakefulness and sleep, as well as A1 adenosine receptor availability with 18F-CPFPX. Oscillatory alpha power was higher in homozygous C-allele carriers (n = 27, 11 females) compared to heterozygous and homozygous carriers of the T-allele (n(C/T) = 23, n(T/T) = 5, 13 females) (F(18,37) = 2.35, p = 0.014, Wilk's Λ = 0.487). Furthermore, a modulatory effect of ADORA2A genotype on A1 adenosine receptor binding potential was found across all considered brain regions (F(18,40) = 2.62, p = 0.006, Wilk's Λ = 0.459), which remained significant for circumscribed occipital region of calcarine fissures after correction for multiple comparisons. In female participants, a correlation between individual differences in oscillatory alpha power and A1 receptor availability was observed. In conclusion, we confirmed that a genetic variant of ADORA2A affects individual alpha power, while a direct modulatory effect via A1 adenosine receptors in females is suggested.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Status epilepticus (SE) requires rapid intervention to prevent cerebral injury and mortality. The ketogenic diet, which bypasses glycolysis, is a promising remedy for patients with refractory SE. We tested the role of glycolytic lactate production in sustaining SE. METHODS Extracellular lactate and glucose concentration during a seizure and SE in vivo was measured using lactate and glucose biosensors. A lactate dehydrogenase inhibitor, oxamate, blocked pyruvate to lactate conversion during SE. Video-EEG recordings evaluated seizure duration, severity, and immunohistochemistry was used to determine neuronal loss. Genetically encoded calcium indicator GCaMP7 was used to study the effect of oxamate on CA1 pyramidal neurons in vitro. Spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs) were recorded from CA1 neurons to study oxamate's impact on neurotransmission. RESULTS The extracellular glucose concentration dropped rapidly during seizures, and lactate accumulated in the extracellular space. Inhibition of pyruvate to lactate conversion with oxamate terminated SE in mice. There was less neuronal loss in treated compared to control mice. Oxamate perfusion decreased tonic and phasic neuronal activity of GCaMP7-expressing CA1 pyramidal neurons in vitro. Oxamate application reduced the frequency, but not amplitude of sEPSCs recorded from CA1 neurons, suggesting an effect on the presynaptic glutamatergic neurotransmission. INTERPRETATION A single seizure and SE stimulate lactate production. Diminishing pyruvate to lactate conversion with oxamate terminated SE and reduced associated neuronal death. Oxamate reduced neuronal excitability and excitatory neurotransmission at the presynaptic terminal. Glycolytic lactate production sustains SE and is an attractive therapeutic target.

BMC Geriatr 2023; 23:581.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative brain protection in older patients has been the focus of research recently; meanwhile, exploring the relationship between regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) and brain function in the perioperative period has been an emerging and challenging area-the difficulties related to the real-time monitoring of rSO2 and the choice of feasible interventions. As an advanced instrument for intraoperative rSO2 monitoring, the clinical application of near-infrared spectrum (NIRS) cerebral oxygen monitoring has gradually increased in popularity and is being recognized for its beneficial clinical outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac and noncardiac surgery. In addition, although sufficient evidence to support this hypothesis is still lacking, the effect of permissive hypercapnia (PHC) on rSO2 has expanded from basic research to clinical exploration. Therefore, monitoring intraoperative rSO2 in older patients with NIRS technology and exploring possible interventions that may change rSO2 and even improve postoperative cognitive performance is significant and clinically valuable. METHODS This study is a single-center randomized controlled trial (RCT). 76 older patients are enrolled as subjects. Patients who meet the screening criteria will be randomly assigned 1:1 to the control and intervention groups. PHC-based mechanical ventilation will be regarded as an intervention. The primary outcome is the absolute change in the percent change in rSO2 from baseline to the completion of surgery in the intervention and control groups. Secondary outcomes mainly include observations of intraoperative cerebral oxygenation and metabolism, markers of brain injury, and assessments of patients' cognitive function using scale through postoperative follow-up. DISCUSSION The findings of this RCT will reveal the effect of PHC on intraoperative rSO2 in older patients with nonacute fragile brain function (NFBF) and the approximate trends over time, and differences in postoperative cognitive function outcomes. We anticipate that the trial results will inform clinical policy decision-makers in clinical practice, enhance the management of intraoperative cerebral oxygen monitoring in older patients with comorbid NFBF, and provide guidance for clinical brain protection and improved postoperative cognitive function outcomes.

Abstract
Bodily rhythms such as respiration are increasingly acknowledged to modulate neural oscillations underlying human action, perception, and cognition. Conversely, the link between respiration and aperiodic brain activity - a non-oscillatory reflection of excitation-inhibition (E:I) balance - has remained unstudied. Aiming to disentangle potential respiration-related dynamics of periodic and aperiodic activity, we applied recently developed algorithms of time-resolved parameter estimation to resting-state MEG and EEG data from two labs (total N = 78 participants). We provide evidence that fluctuations of aperiodic brain activity (1/f slope) are phase-locked to the respiratory cycle, which suggests that spontaneous state shifts of excitation-inhibition balance are at least partly influenced by peripheral bodily signals. Moreover, differential temporal dynamics in their coupling to non-oscillatory and oscillatory activity raise the possibility of a functional distinction in the way each component is related to respiration. Our findings highlight the role of respiration as a physiological influence on brain signalling.

Abstract
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), in conjunction with its life-saving benefits, carries a significant risk of acute brain injury (ABI). Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) is one of the most common types of ABI in ECMO patients. Various risk factors, such as history of hypertension, high day 1 lactate level, low pH, cannulation technique, large peri-cannulation PaCO2 drop (∆PaCO2), and early low pulse pressure, have been associated with the development of HIBI in ECMO patients. The pathogenic mechanisms of HIBI in ECMO are complex and multifactorial, attributing to the underlying pathology requiring initiation of ECMO and the risk of HIBI associated with ECMO itself. HIBI is likely to occur in the peri-cannulation or peri-decannulation time secondary to underlying refractory cardiopulmonary failure before or after ECMO. Current therapeutics target pathological mechanisms, cerebral hypoxia and ischemia, by employing targeted temperature management in the case of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR), and optimizing cerebral O2 saturations and cerebral perfusion. This review describes the pathophysiology, neuromonitoring, and therapeutic techniques to improve neurological outcomes in ECMO patients in order to prevent and minimize the morbidity of HIBI. Further studies aimed at standardizing the most relevant neuromonitoring techniques, optimizing cerebral perfusion, and minimizing the severity of HIBI once it occurs will improve long-term neurological outcomes in ECMO patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND METHODS We examined the relationship between 24-h pre- and post-cannulation arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) and arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) and subsequent acute brain injury (ABI) in patients receiving veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) with granular arterial blood gas (ABG) data and institutional standardized neuromonitoring. RESULTS Eighty-nine patients underwent VV-ECMO (median age = 50, 63% male). Twenty (22%) patients experienced ABI; intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) was the most common diagnosis (n = 14, 16%). Lower post-cannulation PaO2 levels were significantly associated with ICH (66 vs. 81 mmHg, p = 0.007) and a post-cannulation PaO2 level < 70 mmHg was more frequent in these patients (71% vs. 33%, p = 0.007). PaCO2 parameters were not associated with ABI. By multivariable logistic regression, hypoxemia post-cannulation increased the odds of ICH (OR = 5.06, 95% CI:1.41-18.17; p = 0.01). CONCLUSION In summary, lower oxygen tension in the 24-h post-cannulation was associated with ICH development. The precise roles of peri-cannulation ABG changes deserve further investigation, as they may influence the management of VV-ECMO patients.

J Heart Lung Transplant 2023; 42:503-511. [PMID: 36435686 PMCID: PMC10050131 DOI: 10.1016/j.healun.2022.10.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2022] [Revised: 08/31/2022] [Accepted: 10/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute brain injury (ABI) remains common after extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Using a large international multicenter cohort, we investigated the impact of peri-cannulation arterial oxygen (PaO2) and carbon dioxide (PaCO2) on ABI occurrence. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed adult (≥18 years old) ECPR patients in the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry from 1/2009 through 12/2020. Composite ABI included ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), seizures, and brain death. The registry collects 2 blood gas data pre- (6 hours) and post- (24 hours) cannulation. Blood gas parameters were classified as: hypoxia (<60mm Hg), normoxia (60-119mm Hg), and mild (120-199mm Hg), moderate (200-299mm Hg), and severe hyperoxia (≥300mm Hg); hypocarbia (<35mm Hg), normocarbia (35-44mm Hg), mild (45-54mm Hg) and severe hypercarbia (≥55mm Hg). Missing values were handled using multiple imputation. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship of PaO2 and PaCO2 with ABI. RESULTS Of 3,125 patients with ECPR intervention (median age=58, 69% male), 488 (16%) experienced ABI (7% ischemic stroke; 3% ICH). In multivariable analysis, on-ECMO moderate (aOR=1.42, 95%CI: 1.02-1.97) and severe hyperoxia (aOR=1.59, 95%CI: 1.20-2.10) were associated with composite ABI. Additionally, severe hyperoxia was associated with ischemic stroke (aOR=1.63, 95%CI: 1.11-2.40), ICH (aOR=1.92, 95%CI: 1.08-3.40), and in-hospital mortality (aOR=1.58, 95%CI: 1.21-2.06). Mild hypercarbia pre-ECMO was protective of composite ABI (aOR=0.61, 95%CI: 0.44-0.84) and ischemic stroke (aOR=0.56, 95%CI: 0.35-0.89). CONCLUSIONS Early severe hyperoxia (≥300mm Hg) on ECMO was a significant risk factor for ABI and mortality. Careful consideration should be given in early oxygen delivery in ECPR patients who are at risk of reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Acute brain injury (ABI) occurs frequently in patients receiving venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). We examined the association between peri-cannulation arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO 2 ) and ABI with granular blood gas data. We retrospectively analyzed adult patients who underwent VA-ECMO at a tertiary care center with standardized neuromonitoring. Pre- and post-cannulation PaCO 2 were defined as the mean of all PaCO 2 values in the 12 hours before and after cannulation, respectively. Peri-cannulation PaCO 2 drop (∆PaCO 2 ) equaled pre- minus post-cannulation PaCO 2 . ABI included intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), ischemic stroke, hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, cerebral edema, seizure, and brain death. Univariable logistic regression analysis was performed for the presence of ABI. Out of 129 VA-ECMO patients (median age = 60, 63% male), 43 (33%) patients experienced ABI. Patients had a median of 11 (interquartile range: 8-14) peri-cannulation PaCO 2 values. Comparing patients with and without ABI, pre-cannulation (39 vs. 42 mm Hg; p = 0.38) and post-cannulation (37 vs. 36 mm Hg; p = 0.82) PaCO 2 were not different. However, higher pre-cannulation PaCO 2 (odds ratio [OR] = 2.10; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.10-4.00; p = 0.02) and larger ∆PaCO 2 (OR = 2.69; 95% CI = 1.18-6.13; p = 0.02) were associated with ICH. In conclusion, in a cohort with granular arterial blood gas (ABG) data and a standardized neuromonitoring protocol, higher pre-cannulation PaCO 2 and larger ∆PaCO 2 were associated with increased prevalence of ICH.

Abstract
Purpose To explore the value of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) levels in arterial blood for predicting immediate seizures (ISs) in patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods Demographic information and clinical data from patients with primary ICH were prospectively collected, including arterial blood gas analysis. Immediate seizures (ISs) were determined as seizures in the first 24 h after admission. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess the association of PaCO2 levels with ISs. Propensity-score matching (PSM) analyses were adopted to reduce the baseline difference between ISs and non-ISs groups. Results A total of 596 patients with primary ICH were initially screened in this clinical study, 368 of whom fulfilled all the inclusion criteria [mean age, (60.46 ±12.78) years; 57.9% female patients]. ISs occurred in 30 of the 368 (8.15%) patients with primary ICH of this cohort. Patients with ISs had significantly lower PaCO2 levels [34.35(32.38–37.53) vs. 39.45(35.90–43.43), mmHg, p < 0.001] and were younger than those without ISs [(54.57±12.15 vs. 60.99 ±12.72) years, p = 0.008]. Multivariate analysis showed that lower initial PaCO2 (≤37.2 mmHg) level was a significant independent predictor of ISs [odds ratios (OR) 0.141, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.057–0.351, p < 0.001], as well as younger age (OR 0.961, 95% CI 0.928–0.995, p = 0.023) and hematoma expansion (OR 0.340, 95% CI 0.134–0.863, p = 0.023). Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis demonstrated that the optimal cutoff value of PaCO2 level for predicting ISs was 37.20 mmHg in patients with primary ICH (the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.760 with a corresponding sensitivity of 76.67% and specificity of 67.46%, 95%CI = 0.713–0.802, p < 0.001). After PSM, the matched ISs group had significantly lower PaCO2 levels compared with the matched non-ISs group [34.45(32.43–38.18) vs. 41.75(35.85–43.98) mmHg, p < 0.05] in the univariate analysis. The lower initial PaCO2 level was still independent of ISs following primary ICH. Conclusions The lower initial PaCO2 level was associated with an increased risk of ISs in patients with primary ICH.

Abstract
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques using the blood-oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal have shown great potential as clinical biomarkers of disease. Thus, using these techniques in preclinical rodent models is an urgent need. Calibrated fMRI is a promising technique that can provide high-resolution mapping of cerebral oxygen metabolism (CMRO2). However, calibrated fMRI is difficult to use in rodent models for several reasons: rodents are anesthetized, stimulation-induced changes are small, and gas challenges induce noisy CMRO2 predictions. We used, in mice, a relaxometry-based calibrated fMRI method which uses cerebral blood flow (CBF) and the BOLD-sensitive magnetic relaxation component, R2', the same parameter derived in the deoxyhemoglobin-dilution model of calibrated fMRI. This method does not use any gas challenges, which we tested on mice in both awake and anesthetized states. As anesthesia induces a whole-brain change, our protocol allowed us to overcome the former limitations of rodent studies using calibrated fMRI. We revealed 1.5-2 times higher CMRO2, dependent upon brain region, in the awake state versus the anesthetized state. Our results agree with alternative measurements of whole-brain CMRO2 in the same mice and previous human anesthesia studies. The use of calibrated fMRI in rodents has much potential for preclinical fMRI.

Abstract
Recent studies from the field of interoception have highlighted the link between bodily and neural rhythms during action, perception, and cognition. The mechanisms underlying functional body-brain coupling, however, are poorly understood, as are the ways in which they modulate behavior. We acquired respiration and human magnetoencephalography data from a near-threshold spatial detection task to investigate the trivariate relationship between respiration, neural excitability, and performance. Respiration was found to significantly modulate perceptual sensitivity as well as posterior alpha power (8-13 Hz), a well-established proxy of cortical excitability. In turn, alpha suppression prior to detected versus undetected targets underscored the behavioral benefits of heightened excitability. Notably, respiration-locked excitability changes were maximized at a respiration phase lag of around -30° and thus temporally preceded performance changes. In line with interoceptive inference accounts, these results suggest that respiration actively aligns sampling of sensory information with transient cycles of heightened excitability to facilitate performance.

Abstract
KEY POINTS We investigated the influence of arterial P C O 2 ( P aC O 2 ) with and without acute experimental metabolic alkalosis on neurovascular coupling (NVC). We assessed stepwise iso-oxic alterations in P aC O 2 prior to and following intravenous NaHCO3 to acutely elevate arterial pH and [HCO3 - ]. The NVC response was not altered following NaHCO3 between stepwise P aC O 2 stages; therefore, NVC is acutely mediated by P aC O 2 rather than the prevailing arterial [H+ ]/pH. The NVC response was attenuated by 27-38% with -10 mmHg P aC O 2 and the absolute peak change was reduced by -19% with +10 mmHg P aC O 2 irrespective of acutely elevated arterial pH/[HCO3 - ]. The NVC kinetics (i.e. time to peak) were markedly slower with hypercapnia versus hypocapnia (24 ± 5 vs. 7 ± 5 s, respectively) likely indicating an influence of resting cerebrovascular tone on NVC responsiveness. ABSTRACT Elevations in cerebral metabolism necessitate appropriate coordinated and localized increases in cerebral blood flow (i.e. neurovascular coupling; NVC). Recent pre-clinical work indicates that arterial P C O 2 ( P aC O 2 ) mediates NVC independently of arterial/extracellular pH; this has yet to be experimentally tested in humans. The goal of this study was to investigate the hypotheses that: (1) the NVC response would be unaffected by acute experimentally elevated arterial pH; rather, P aC O 2 would regulate any changes in NVC; and (2) stepwise respiratory alkalosis and acidosis would each progressively reduce the NVC response. Ten healthy males completed a standardized visual stimulus-evoked NVC test during matched stepwise iso-oxic alterations in P aC O 2 (hypocapnia: -5, -10 mmHg; hypercapnia: +5, +10 mmHg) prior to and following intravenous NaHCO3 (8.4%, 50 mEq/50 ml) that elevated arterial pH (7.406 ± 0.019 vs. 7.457 ± 0.029; P < 0.001) and [HCO3 - ] (26.2 ± 1.5 vs. 29.3 ± 0.9 mEq/l; P < 0.001). Although the NVC response was collectively attenuated by 27-38% with -10 mmHg P aC O 2 (stage post hoc: all P < 0.05), this response was unaltered following NaHCO3 (all P > 0.05) irrespective of the higher pH (P = 0.002) at each matched stage of P aC O 2 (P = 0.417). The absolute peak change was reduced by -19 ± 41% with +10 mmHg P aC O 2 irrespective of acutely elevated arterial pH/[HCO3 - ] (stage post hoc: P = 0.022). The NVC kinetics (i.e. time to peak) were markedly slower with hypercapnia versus hypocapnia (24 ± 5 vs. 7 ± 5 s, respectively; stage effect: P < 0.001). Overall, these findings indicate that temporal patterns in NVC are acutely regulated by P aC O 2 rather than arterial pH per se in the setting of acute metabolic alkalosis in humans.

Abstract
Breathing is regulated by a host of arousal and sleep-wake state-dependent neuromodulators to maintain respiratory homeostasis. Modulators such as acetylcholine, norepinephrine, histamine, serotonin (5-HT), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), substance P, somatostatin, bombesin, orexin, and leptin can serve complementary or off-setting functions depending on the target cell type and signaling mechanisms engaged. Abnormalities in any of these modulatory mechanisms can destabilize breathing, suggesting that modulatory mechanisms are not overly redundant but rather work in concert to maintain stable respiratory output. The present review focuses on the modulation of a specific cluster of neurons located in the ventral medullary surface, named retrotrapezoid nucleus, that are activated by changes in tissue CO2/H+ and regulate several aspects of breathing, including inspiration and active expiration.

Abstract
This review discusses the evidence supporting a role for ATP signaling (operated by P2X and P2Y receptors) and adenosine signaling (mainly operated by A1 and A2A receptors) in the crosstalk between neurons, astrocytes, microglia and oligodendrocytes. An initial emphasis will be given to the cooperation between adenosine receptors to sharpen information salience encoding across synapses. The interplay between ATP and adenosine signaling in the communication between astrocytes and neurons will then be presented in context of the integrative properties of the astrocytic syncytium, allowing to implement heterosynaptic depression processes in neuronal networks. The process of microglia 'activation' and its control by astrocytes and neurons will then be analyzed under the perspective of an interplay between different P2 receptors and adenosine A2A receptors. In spite of these indications of a prominent role of purinergic signaling in the bidirectional communication between neurons and glia, its therapeutical exploitation still awaits obtaining an integrated view of the spatio-temporal action of ATP signaling and adenosine signaling, clearly distinguishing the involvement of both purinergic signaling systems in the regulation of physiological processes and in the control of pathogenic-like responses upon brain dysfunction or damage.

Abstract
Brain cells continuously produce and release protons into the extracellular space, with the rate of acid production corresponding to the levels of neuronal activity and metabolism. Efficient buffering and removal of excess H+ is essential for brain function, not least because all the electrogenic and biochemical machinery of synaptic transmission is highly sensitive to changes in pH. Here, we describe an astroglial mechanism that contributes to the protection of the brain milieu from acidification. In vivo and in vitro experiments conducted in rodent models show that at least one third of all astrocytes release bicarbonate to buffer extracellular H+ loads associated with increases in neuronal activity. The underlying signalling mechanism involves activity-dependent release of ATP triggering bicarbonate secretion by astrocytes via activation of metabotropic P2Y1 receptors, recruitment of phospholipase C, release of Ca2+ from the internal stores, and facilitated outward HCO3- transport by the electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter 1, NBCe1. These results show that astrocytes maintain local brain extracellular pH homeostasis via a neuronal activity-dependent release of bicarbonate. The data provide evidence of another important metabolic housekeeping function of these glial cells.

Abstract
Recent studies in animals have convincingly demonstrated that respiration cyclically modulates oscillatory neural activity across diverse brain areas. To what extent this generalises to humans in a way that is relevant for behaviour is yet unclear. We used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to assess the potential influence of respiration depth and respiration phase on the human motor system. We obtained simultaneous recordings of brain activity, muscle activity, and respiration while participants performed a steady contraction task. We used corticomuscular coherence as a measure of efficient long-range cortico-peripheral communication. We found coherence within the beta range over sensorimotor cortex to be reduced during voluntary deep compared to involuntary normal breathing. Moreover, beta coherence was found to be cyclically modulated by respiration phase in both conditions. Overall, these results demonstrate how respiratory rhythms influence the synchrony of brain oscillations, conceivably regulating computational efficiency through neural excitability. Intriguing questions remain with regard to the shape of these modulatory processes and how they influence perception, cognition, and behaviour.

[PMID: 32764270 PMCID: PMC7465284 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9082521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2020] [Revised: 07/26/2020] [Accepted: 08/03/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Little is known about the impact of pathophysiological mechanisms that underlie the enhancement of excitotoxicity and the neuronal consequences of status epilepticus (SE), as well as the clinical consequences of secondary brain insults (SBI) in patients with SE on outcome; (2) Methods: Electronic searches were conducted in May 2020 using Medline via PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar (#CRD42019139092). Experimental studies of animals or randomized, observational, controlled trials of patients with SE in indexed journals were included. There were no language or date restrictions for the published literature included in this review. Information was extracted on study design, sample size, SBI characteristics, and primary and secondary outcomes, including the timing of evaluation; (3) Results: Among the 2209 articles responding to our inclusion criteria, 56 were included in this systematic review. There are numerous experimental data reporting the deleterious effects associated with each of the SBI in animals exposed to SE. In humans, only the effect of target temperature management in hypothermia (32-34 °C) has been explored. (4) Conclusions: There is little experimental evidence that favors the control of secondary brain insult after SE. Further studies are required to assess the neuroprotective interest of secondary brain insult control after SE in humans.

Activity- and pH-dependent adenosine shifts at the end of a focal seizure in the entorhinal cortex. Epilepsy Res 2020; 165:106401. [PMID: 32599416 DOI: 10.1016/j.eplepsyres.2020.106401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2020] [Revised: 06/05/2020] [Accepted: 06/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Adenosine (ADO) is an endogenous modulator of neuronal excitability, with anticonvulsant and neuroprotective effects. It has been proposed that the activity-dependent release of ADO promoted by the extracellular acidification occurring during seizures contributes to seizure termination. To verify this hypothesis, we recorded field potentials, pH and ADO changes measured with enzymatic biosensors during acute focal seizures in the medial entorhinal cortex (mEC) of the isolated guinea-pig brain maintained in vitro. The effect of ADO on seizure-like events (SLEs) induced by GABAa receptor antagonism with bicuculline methiodide (BMI; 50 μM) was assessed by arterial applications of 1 mM ADO. ADO either reduced or prevented epileptiform activity. The A1 receptor antagonist DPCPX (100-500 μM) prolonged BMI-induced seizures and was able to precipitate SLEs in the absence of proconvulsant. Simultaneous recordings of brain activity, extracellular ADO and pH shifts demonstrated that ADO decreases at the onset and progressively rises toward the end of SLEs induced by either BMI or 4-aminopyridine (4AP; 50 μM), reaching maximal values 1-5 min after SLE termination. ADO changes were preceded by a SLE-dependent extracellular acid shift. Both pH acidification and ADO changes were abolished by 22 mM HEPES in the arterial perfusate. In these conditions, SLE duration was prolonged. Our data confirm that ADO plays a role in regulating brain excitability. Its increase depends on seizure-induced acid pH shift and it is maximal after the end of the SLE. These findings strongly suggest that ADO contributes to termination of focal seizures and to the establishment of the postictal depression.

The adenosine A1 receptor agonist WAG 994 suppresses acute kainic acid-induced status epilepticus in vivo. Neuropharmacology 2020; 176:108213. [PMID: 32615188 DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2020.108213] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2020] [Revised: 06/10/2020] [Accepted: 06/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency characterized by continuous seizure activity lasting longer than 5 min, often with no recovery between seizures (Trinka et al., 2015). SE is refractory to benzodiazepine and second-line treatments in about 30% cases. Novel treatment approaches are urgently needed as refractory SE is associated with mortality rates of up to 70%. Robust adenosinergic anticonvulsant effects have been known for decades, but translation into seizure treatments was hampered by cardiovascular side effects. However, the selective adenosine A1 receptor agonist SDZ WAG 994 (WAG) displays diminished cardiovascular side effects compared to classic A1R agonists and was safely administered systemically in human clinical trials. Here, we investigate the anticonvulsant efficacy of WAG in vitro and in vivo. WAG robustly inhibited high-K+-induced continuous epileptiform activity in rat hippocampal slices (IC50 = 52.5 nM). Importantly, WAG acutely suppressed SE in vivo induced by kainic acid (20 mg/kg i.p.) in mice. After SE was established, mice received three i.p. injections of WAG or diazepam (DIA, 5 mg/kg). Interestingly, DIA did not attenuate SE while the majority of WAG-treated mice (1 mg/kg) were seizure-free after three injections. Anticonvulsant effects were retained when a lower dose of WAG (0.3 mg/kg) was used. Importantly, all WAG-treated mice survived kainic acid induced SE. In summary, we report for the first time that an A1R agonist with an acceptable human side-effect profile can acutely suppress established SE in vivo. Our results suggest that WAG stops or vastly attenuates SE while DIA fails to mitigate SE in this model.

Cerebral metabolism, oxidation and inflammation in severe passive hyperthermia with and without respiratory alkalosis. J Physiol 2020; 598:943-954.

Abstract
KEY POINTS It was unknown whether respiratory alkalosis impacts the global cerebral metabolic response as well as the cerebral pro-oxidation and inflammatory response in passive hyperthermia. This study demonstrated that the cerebral metabolic rate was increased by ∼20% with passive hyperthermia of up to +2°C oesophageal temperature, and this response was unaffected by respiratory alkalosis. Additionally, the increase in cerebral metabolism did not significantly impact the net cerebral release of oxidative and inflammatory markers. These data indicate that passive heating of up to +2°C core temperature in healthy young men is not enough to confer a major oxidative and inflammatory burden on the brain, but it does markedly increase the cerebral metabolic rate, independently of P aC O 2 . ABSTRACT There is limited information concerning the impact of arterial P C O 2 /pH on heat-induced alteration in cerebral metabolism, as well as on the cerebral oxidative/inflammatory burden of hyperthermia. Accordingly, we sought to address two hypotheses: (1) passive hyperthermia will increase the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2 ) consistent with a combined influence of Q10 and respiratory alkalosis; and (2) the net cerebral release of pro-oxidative and pro-inflammatory markers will be elevated in hyperthermia, particularly in poikilocapnic hyperthermia. Healthy young men (n = 6) underwent passive heating until an oesophageal temperature of 2°C above resting was reached. At 0.5°C increments in core temperature, CMRO2 was calculated from the product of cerebral blood flow (ultrasound) and the radial artery-jugular venous oxygen content difference (cannulation). Net cerebral glucose/lactate exchange, and biomarkers of oxidative and inflammatory stress were also measured. At +2.0°C oesophageal temperature, arterial P C O 2 was restored to normothermic values using end-tidal forcing. The primary findings were: (1) while CMRO2 was increased (P < 0.05) by ∼20% with hyperthermia of +1.5-2.0°C, this was not influenced by respiratory alkalosis, and (2) although biomarkers of pro-oxidation and pro-inflammation were systemically elevated in hyperthermia (P < 0.05), there were no differences in the trans-cerebral exchange kinetics. These novel data indicate that passive heating of up to +2°C core temperature in healthy young men is not enough to confer a major oxidative and inflammatory burden on the brain, despite it markedly increasing CMRO2 , irrespective of arterial pH.

Mild hypothermia protects synaptic transmission from experimental ischemia through reduction in the function of nucleoside transporters in the mouse hippocampus. Neuropharmacology 2019; 163:107853.

Abstract
Ischemia, a severe metabolic stress, increases adenosine levels and causes the suppression of synaptic transmission through adenosine A1 receptors. Although temperature also regulates extracellular adenosine levels, the effect of temperature on ischemia-induced activation of adenosine receptors is not yet fully understood. Here we examined the role of adenosine A1 receptors in mild hypothermia-mediated neuroprotection during the acute phase of ischemia. Severe ischemia-induced neurosynaptic impairment was reproduced by oxygen-glucose deprivation at normothermia (36 °C) and assessed with extracellular recordings or whole-cell patch clamp recordings in acute hippocampal slices in mice. Mild hypothermia (32 °C) induced the protection of synaptic transmission by activating adenosine A1 receptors. Stricter hypothermia (28 °C) caused additional neuroprotective effects by extending the onset time to anoxic depolarization; however, this effect was not associated with adenosine A1 receptors. The response of exogenous adenosine-induced inhibition of hippocampal synaptic transmission was increased by lowering the temperature to 32 °C or 28 °C. Hypothermia also reduced the function of dipryidamole-sensitive nucleoside transporters. These findings suggest that an increased response of adenosine A1 receptors, caused by a reduction in the function of nucleoside transporters, is one mechanism by which therapeutic hypothermia (usually used within the mild range) mediates neurosynaptic protection in the acute phase of stroke.

Abstract
Adenosine receptors are widely expressed in the brain, and adenosine is a key bioactive substance for neuroprotection. In this article, we clarify systematically the role of adenosine A1 receptors during a range of timescales and conditions when a significant amount of adenosine is released. Using acute hippocampal slices obtained from mice that were wild type or null mutant for the adenosine A1 receptor, we quantified and characterized the impact of varying durations of experimental ischemia, hypoxia, and hypoglycemia on synaptic transmission in the CA1 subregion. In normal tissue, these three stressors rapidly and markedly reduced synaptic transmission, and only treatment of sufficient duration led to incomplete recovery. In contrast, inactivation of adenosine A1 receptors delayed and/or lessened the reduction in synaptic transmission during all three stressors and reduced the magnitude of the recovery significantly. We reproduced the responses to hypoxia and hypoglycemia by applying an adenosine A1 receptor antagonist, validating the clear effects of genetic receptor inactivation on synaptic transmission. We found activation of adenosine A1 receptor inhibited hippocampal synaptic transmission during the acute phase of ischemia, hypoxia, or hypoglycemia and caused the recovery from synaptic impairment after these three stressors using genetic mutant. These studies quantify the neuroprotective role of the adenosine A1 receptor during a variety of metabolic stresses within the same recording system.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Deprivation of oxygen and/or glucose causes a rapid adenosine A1 receptor-mediated decrease in synaptic transmission in mouse hippocampus. We quantified adenosine A1 receptor-mediated inhibition during and synaptic recovery after ischemia, hypoxia, and hypoglycemia of varying durations using a genetic mutant and confirmed these findings using pharmacology. Overall, using the same recording conditions, we found the acute response and the neuroprotective ability of the adenosine A1 receptor depended on the type and duration of deprivation event.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the topic of this review? This review provides an up-to-date assessment of the physiology involved with extreme static dry-land breath holding in trained apneists. What advances does it highlight? We specifically highlight the recent findings involved with the cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and metabolic function during a maximal breath hold in elite apneists. ABSTRACT Breath-hold-related activities have been performed for centuries, but only recently, within the last ∼30 years, has it emerged as an increasingly popular competitive sport. In apnoea sport, competition relates to underwater distances or simply maximal breath-hold duration, with the current (oxygen-unsupplemented) static breath-hold record at 11 min 35 s. Remarkably, many ultra-elite apneists are able to suppress respiratory urges to the point where consciousness fundamentally limits a breath-hold duration. Here, arterial oxygen saturations as low as ∼50% have been reported. In such cases, oxygen conservation to maintain cerebral functioning is critical, where responses ascribed to the mammalian dive reflex, e.g. sympathetically mediated peripheral vasoconstriction and vagally mediated bradycardia, are central. In defence of maintaining global cerebral oxygen delivery during prolonged breath holds, the cerebral blood flow may increase by ∼100% from resting values. Interestingly, near the termination of prolonged dry static breath holds, recent studies also indicate that reductions in the cerebral oxidative metabolism can occur, probably attributable to the extreme hypercapnia and irrespective of the hypoxaemia. In this review, we highlight and discuss the recent data on the cardiovascular, metabolic and, particularly, cerebrovascular function in competitive apneists performing maximal static breath holds. The physiological adaptation and maladaptation with regular breath-hold training are also summarized, and future research areas in this unique physiological field are highlighted; particularly, the need to determine the potential long-term health impacts of extreme breath holding.

Abstract
Epilepsy is characterized by the regular occurrence of seizures, which follow a stereotypical sequence of alterations in the electroencephalogram. Seizures are typically a self limiting phenomenon, concluding finally in the cessation of hypersynchronous activity and followed by a state of decreased neuronal excitability which might underlie the cognitive and psychological symptoms the patients experience in the wake of seizures. Many efforts have been devoted to understand how seizures spontaneously stop in hope to exploit this knowledge in anticonvulsant or neuroprotective therapies. Besides the alterations in ion-channels, transmitters and neuromodulators, the successive build up of disturbances in energy metabolism have been suggested as a mechanism for seizure termination. Energy metabolism and substrate supply of the brain are tightly regulated by different mechanisms called neurometabolic and neurovascular coupling. Here we summarize the current knowledge whether these mechanisms are sufficient to cover the energy demand of hypersynchronous activity and whether a mismatch between energy need and supply could contribute to seizure control.

Abstract
In vitro preparations are a powerful tool to explore the mechanisms and processes underlying epileptogenesis and ictogenesis. In this review, we critically review the numerous in vitro methodologies utilized in epilepsy research. We provide support for the inclusion of detailed descriptions of techniques, including often ignored parameters with unpredictable yet significant effects on study reproducibility and outcomes. In addition, we explore how recent developments in brain slice preparation relate to their use as models of epileptic activity.

Abstract
The integrative actions of the brain depend on the exchange of information among its computational elements. Hence, this phenomenon plays the key role in driving the complex dynamics of the central nervous system, in which true computations interact with noncomputational dynamical processes to generate brain representations of the body and of the body in the external world, and hence the finalistic behavior of the organism. In this context, it should be pointed out that, besides the intercellular interactions mediated by classical electrochemical signals, other types of interactions, namely, "cues" and "coercions," also appear to be exploited by the system to achieve its function. The present review focuses mainly on cues present in the environment and on those produced by cells of the body, which "pervade" the brain and contribute to its dynamics. These cues can also be metabolic substrates, and, in most cases, they are of fundamental importance to brain function and the survival of the entire organism. Three of these highly pervasive cues will be analyzed in greater detail, namely, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and electromagnetic fields (EMF). Special emphasis will be placed on EMF, since several authors have suggested that these highly pervasive energy fluctuations may play an important role in the global integrative actions of the brain; hence, EMF signaling may transcend classical connectionist models of brain function. Thus the new concept of "broadcasted neuroconnectomics" has been introduced, which transcends the current connectomics view of the brain.

Abstract
The cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) is reduced during apnea that yields profound hypoxia and hypercapnia. In this study, to dissociate the impact of hypoxia and hypercapnia on the reduction in CMRO2, 11 breath-hold competitors completed three apneas under: (a) normal conditions (NM), yielding severe hypercapnia and hypoxemia, (b) with prior hyperventilation (HV), yielding severe hypoxemia only, and (c) with prior 100% oxygen breathing (HX), yielding the greatest level of hypercapnia, but in the absence of hypoxemia. The CMRO2 was calculated from the product of cerebral blood flow (ultrasound) and the radial artery-jugular venous oxygen content difference (cannulation). Secondary measures included net-cerebral glucose/lactate exchange and nonoxidative metabolism. Reductions in CMRO2 were largest in the HX condition (-44 ± 15%, p < 0.05), with the most severe hypercapnia (PaCO2 = 58 ± 5 mmHg) but maintained oxygen saturation. The CMRO2 was reduced by 24 ± 27% in NM ( p = 0.05), but unchanged in the HV apnea where hypercapnia was absent. A net-cerebral lactate release was observed at the end of apnea in the HV and NM condition, but not in the HX apnea (main effect p < 0.05). These novel data support hypercapnia/pH as a key mechanism mediating reductions in CMRO2 during apnea, and show that severe hypoxemia stimulates lactate release from the brain.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY Estimation of cerebral anaerobic metabolism in survivors and non-survivors after cardiac arrest. METHODS We performed an observational study in twenty comatose patients after cardiac arrest and 19 healthy control subjects. We measured mean flow velocity in the middle cerebral artery (MFVMCA) by transcranial Doppler. Arterial and jugular blood samples were used for calculation of the jugular venous-to-arterial CO2/arterial to-jugular venous O2 content difference ratio. RESULTS After cardiac arrest, MFVMCA increased from 26.0[18.6-40.4]cm/sec on admission to 63.9[48.3-73.1]cm/sec after 72h (p<0.0001), with no significant differences between survivors and non-survivors (p=0.4853). The MFVMCA in controls was 59.1[52.8-69.0]cm/sec. The oxygen extraction fraction (O2EF) was 38.9[24.4-47.7]% on admission and decreased significantly to 17.3[12.1-26.2]% at 72h (p<0.0001). The decrease in O2EF was more pronounced in non-survivors (p=0.0173). O2EF in the control group was 35.4[32.4-38.7]%. The jugular bulb-arterial CO2 to arterial-jugular bulb O2 content difference ratio was >1 at all time points after cardiac arrest and did not change during admission, with no differences between survivors and non-survivors. Values in cardiac arrest patients were similar to those in normal subjects. CONCLUSIONS In this study, low CBF after cardiac arrest is not associated with anaerobic metabolism. Hypoperfusion appears to be the consequence of a decrease of neuronal functioning and metabolic needs. Alternatively, hypoperfusion may decrease cerebral metabolism. Subsequently, metabolism increases in survivors, consistent with resumption of neuronal activity, whereas in non-survivors lasting low metabolism reflects irreversible neuronal damage.

Abstract
Neuronal lactate uptake supports energy metabolism associated with synaptic signaling and recovery of extracellular ion gradients following neuronal activation. Altered expression of the monocarboxylate transporters (MCT) in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) hampers lactate removal into the bloodstream. The resulting increase in parenchymal lactate levels might exert both, anti- and pro-ictogen effects, by causing acidosis and by supplementing energy metabolism, respectively. Hence, we assessed the contribution of lactate to the maintenance of transmembrane potassium gradients, synaptic signaling and pathological network activity in chronic epileptic human tissue. Stimulus induced and spontaneous field potentials and extracellular potassium concentration changes (∆[K⁺]O) were recorded in parallel with tissue pO₂ and pH in slices from TLE patients while blocking MCTs by α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (4-CIN) or d-lactate. Intrinsic lactate contributed to the oxidative energy metabolism in chronic epileptic tissue as revealed by the changes in pO₂ following blockade of lactate uptake. However, unlike the results in rat hippocampus, ∆[K⁺]O recovery kinetics and field potential amplitude did not depend on the presence of lactate. Remarkably, inhibition of lactate uptake exerted pH-independent anti-seizure effects both in healthy rat and chronic epileptic tissue and this effect was partly mediated via adenosine 1 receptor activation following decreased oxidative metabolism.

Arterial CO2 Fluctuations Modulate Neuronal Rhythmicity: Implications for MEG and fMRI Studies of Resting-State Networks. J Neurosci 2017; 36:8541-50.

Abstract
A fast emerging technique for studying human resting state networks (RSNs) is based on spontaneous temporal fluctuations in neuronal oscillatory power, as measured by magnetoencephalography. However, it has been demonstrated recently that this power is sensitive to modulations in arterial CO2 concentration. Arterial CO2 can be modulated by natural fluctuations in breathing pattern, as might typically occur during the acquisition of an RSN experiment. Here, we demonstrate for the first time the fine-scale dependence of neuronal oscillatory power on arterial CO2 concentration, showing that reductions in alpha, beta, and gamma power are observed with even very mild levels of hypercapnia (increased arterial CO2). We use a graded hypercapnia paradigm and participant feedback to rule out a sensory cause, suggesting a predominantly physiological origin. Furthermore, we demonstrate that natural fluctuations in arterial CO2, without administration of inspired CO2, are of a sufficient level to influence neuronal oscillatory power significantly in the delta-, alpha-, beta-, and gamma-frequency bands. A more thorough understanding of the relationship between physiological factors and cortical rhythmicity is required. In light of these findings, existing results, paradigms, and analysis techniques for the study of resting-state brain data should be revisited. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT In this study, we show for the first time that neuronal oscillatory power is intimately linked to arterial CO2 concentration down to the fine-scale modulations that occur during spontaneous breathing. We extend these results to demonstrate a correlation between neuronal oscillatory power and spontaneous arterial CO2 fluctuations in awake humans at rest. This work identifies a need for studies investigating resting-state networks in the human brain to measure and account for the impact of spontaneous changes in arterial CO2 on the neuronal signals of interest. Changes in breathing pattern that are time locked to task performance could also lead to confounding effects on neuronal oscillatory power when considering the electrophysiological response to functional stimulation.

Abstract
Calibrated BOLD is a promising technique that overcomes the sensitivity of conventional fMRI to the cerebrovascular state; measuring either the basal level, or the task-induced response of cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (CMRO2). The calibrated BOLD method is susceptible to errors in the measurement of the calibration parameter M, the theoretical BOLD signal change that would occur if all deoxygenated hemoglobin were removed. The original and most popular method for measuring M uses hypercapnia (an increase in arterial CO2), making the assumption that it does not affect CMRO2. This assumption has since been challenged and recent studies have used a corrective term, based on literature values of a reduction in basal CMRO2 with hypercapnia. This is not ideal, as this value may vary across subjects and regions of the brain, and will depend on the level of hypercapnia achieved. Here we propose a new approach, using a graded hypercapnia design and the assumption that CMRO2 changes linearly with hypercapnia level, such that we can measure M without assuming prior knowledge of the scale of CMRO2 change. Through use of a graded hypercapnia gas challenge, we are able to remove the bias caused by a reduction in basal CMRO2 during hypercapnia, whilst simultaneously calculating the dose-wise CMRO2 change with hypercapnia. When compared with assuming no change in CMRO2, this approach resulted in significantly lower M-values in both visual and motor cortices, arising from significant dose-dependent hypercapnia reductions in basal CMRO2 of 1.5 ± 0.6%/mmHg (visual) and 1.8 ± 0.7%/mmHg (motor), where mmHg is the unit change in end-tidal CO2 level. Variability in the basal CMRO2 response to hypercapnia, due to experimental differences and inter-subject variability, is accounted for in this approach, unlike previous correction approaches, which use literature values. By incorporating measurement of, and correction for, the reduction in basal CMRO2 during hypercapnia in the measurement of M-values, application of our approach will correct for an overestimation in both CMRO2 task-response values and absolute CMRO2.

Abstract
Severe hypercapnia can be predicted by a decrease in cerebral electrical activity. The authors describe a sudden decrease in spectral entropy due to severe hypercapnia-induced respiratory acidosis in a patient with chronic pulmonary obstructive disease during lung resection. After two and a half hours of low tidal volume ventilation in the lateral position, the state entropy suddenly dropped from 45 to 7, without any changes in the effect-site concentration of propofol, end-tidal carbon dioxide (CO2) tension, oxygen saturation, or arterial pressure. However, arterial blood gas analysis showed severe respiratory acidosis (pH 7.01, PaCO2 115 mmHg and PaO2 246 mmHg with FIO2 of 0.5). Immediate hyperventilation improved the state entropy and acid-base balance. Electroencephalography-based spectral entropy can detect severe hypercapnia in chronic pulmonary obstructive disease patients with a large arterial to end-tidal CO2 difference due to prolonged hypoventilation during thoracic surgery.

Abstract
Extracellular pH impacts on neuronal activity, which is in turn an important determinant of extracellular H+ concentration. The aim of this study was to describe the spatio-temporal dynamics of extracellular pH at synaptic sites during neuronal hyperexcitability. To address this issue we created ex.E2GFP, a membrane-targeted extracellular ratiometric pH indicator that is exquisitely sensitive to acidic shifts. By monitoring ex.E2GFP fluorescence in real time in primary cortical neurons, we were able to quantify pH fluctuations during network hyperexcitability induced by convulsant drugs or high-frequency electrical stimulation. Sustained hyperactivity caused a pH decrease that was reversible upon silencing of neuronal activity and located at active synapses. This acidic shift was not attributable to the outflow of synaptic vesicle H+ into the cleft nor to the activity of membrane-exposed H+ V-ATPase, but rather to the activity of the Na+/H+-exchanger. Our data demonstrate that extracellular synaptic pH shifts take place during epileptic-like activity of neural cultures, emphasizing the strict links existing between synaptic activity and synaptic pH. This evidence may contribute to the understanding of the physio-pathological mechanisms associated with hyperexcitability in the epileptic brain.

Abstract
Hypercapnia challenge (e.g. inhalation of CO2) has been used in calibrated fMRI as well as in the mapping of vascular reactivity in cerebrovascular diseases. An important assumption underlying these measurements is that CO2 is a pure vascular challenge but does not alter neural activity. However, recent reports have suggested that CO2 inhalation may suppress neural activity and brain metabolic rate. Therefore, the goal of this study is to propose and test a gas challenge that is truly "iso-metabolic," by adding a hypoxic component to the hypercapnic challenge, since hypoxia has been shown to enhance cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2). Measurement of global CMRO2 under various gas challenge conditions revealed that, while hypercapnia (P = 0.002) and hypoxia (P = 0.002) individually altered CMRO2 (by -7.6 ± 1.7% and 16.7 ± 4.1%, respectively), inhalation of hypercapnic-hypoxia gas (5% CO2/13% O2) did not change brain metabolism (CMRO2 change: 1.5 ± 3.9%, P = 0.92). Moreover, cerebral blood flow response to the hypercapnic-hypoxia challenge (in terms of % change per mmHg CO2 change) was even greater than that to hypercapnia alone (P = 0.007). Findings in this study suggest that hypercapnic-hypoxia gas challenge may be a useful maneuver in physiological MRI as it preserves vasodilatory response yet does not alter brain metabolism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe EEG and clinical correlates, DC recordings and prognostic significance of cyclic seizures (CS). METHODS We reviewed our prospective continuous EEG database to identify patients with CS, controls with non-cyclic status epilepticus (SE) and controls without seizure matched for age and etiology. EEG was reviewed with DC settings. RESULTS 39/260 (15%) patients with electrographic seizures presented with CS. These patients were older (62 vs. 54years; p=0.04) and more often had acute or progressive brain injury (77% vs. 52%; p=0.03) than patients with non-cyclic SE and had a lower level of consciousness, were more severely ill, than matched controls. CS almost always had focal onset, often from posterior regions. Patients with CS trended towards worse prognosis. When available (12 patients), DC recordings showed an infraslow cyclic oscillation of EEG baseline synchronized to the seizures in all cases. CONCLUSIONS CS occur mostly in older patients with acute or progressive brain injury, are more likely to be associated with poor outcome than patients with other forms of nonconvulsive SE, and are accompanied by synchronous oscillations of the EEG baseline on DC recordings. SIGNIFICANCE CS are a common form of non-convulsive status epilepticus in critically ill patients and provide further insights into the relationship between infraslow activity and seizures; further study on this relationship may shed light on the mechanisms of seizure initiation and termination.
