摘要

Sensing-guided deep brain stimulation (DBS) offers potential to further optimize symptom control in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients. Emerging evidence suggests that basal ganglia signals reflect not only motor, but also chronic neuropsychiatric symptoms. However, it remains unclear whether local field potentials (LFPs) can inform about acute neuropsychiatric states in PD, which we address in this work. Fourteen PD patients implanted with a brain-sense-enabled neurostimulator underwent an acute levodopa challenge OFF/ON stimulation one year after surgery. In each condition, resting state STN-LFPs were recorded, and the acute neuropsychiatric state was evaluated using the Neuropsychiatric Fluctuation Scale. The relationship between neuropsychiatric state and fluctuation scores with STN low-frequency activity (4–12 Hz) was assessed. An acute low neuropsychiatric state in the OFF-medication condition was associated with elevated theta/low-alpha power. Moreover, the 6–8 Hz activity was indicative of the neuropsychiatric state change following medication intake. Those results were most evident in recordings from the ventral contacts closer to the limbic STN, while chronic stimulation settings covering the dorsal associative and motor STN captured a similar trend. STN low-frequency activity may serve as a biomarker for the acute neuropsychiatric state and neuropsychiatric responsiveness to dopamine and may inform future sensing-guided DBS strategies.
