Cingulate cortex function and multi-modal connectivity mapped using intracranial stimulation.

Abstract：

:The cingulate cortex is part of the limbic system. Its function and connectivity are organized in a rostro-caudal and ventral-dorsal manner which was addressed by various other studies using rather coarse cortical parcellations. In this study, we aim at describing its function and connectivity using invasive recordings from patients explored for focal drug-resistant epilepsy. We included patients that underwent stereo-electroencephalographic recordings using intracranial electrodes in the University Emergency Hospital Bucharest between 2012 and 2019. We reviewed all high frequency stimulations (50 Hz) performed for functional mapping of the cingulate cortex. We used two methods to characterize brain connectivity. Effective connectivity was inferred based on the analysis of cortico-cortical potentials (CCEPs) evoked by single pulse electrical stimulation (SPES) (15 s inter-pulse interval). Functional connectivity was estimated using the non-linear regression method applied to 60 s spontaneous electrical brain signal intervals. The effective (stimulation-evoked) and functional (non-evoked) connectivity analyses highlight brain networks in a different way. While non-evoked connectivity evidences areas having related activity, often in close proximity to each other, evoked connectivity highlights spatially extended networks. To highlight in a comprehensive way the cingulate cortex's network, we have performed a bi-modal connectivity analysis that combines the resting-state broadband h2 non-linear correlation with cortico-cortical evoked potentials. We co-registered the patient's anatomy with the fsaverage FreeSurfer template to perform the automatic labeling based on HCP-MMP parcellation. At a group level, connectivity was estimated by averaging responses over stimulated/recorded or recorded sites in each pair of parcels. Finally, for multiple regions that evoked a clinical response during high frequency stimulation, we combined the connectivity of individual pairs using maximum intensity projection. Connectivity was assessed by applying SPES on 2094 contact pairs and recording CCEPs on 3580 contacts out of 8582 contacts of 660 electrodes implanted in 47 patients. Clinical responses elicited by high frequency stimulations in 107 sites (pairs of contacts) located in the cingulate cortex were divided in 10 groups: affective, motor behavior, motor elementary, versive, speech, vestibular, autonomic, somatosensory, visual and changes in body perception. Anterior cingulate cortex was shown to be connected to the mesial temporal, orbitofrontal and prefrontal cortex. In the middle cingulate cortex, we located affective, motor behavior in the anterior region, and elementary motor and somatosensory in the posterior part. This region is connected to the prefrontal, premotor and primary motor network. Finally, the posterior cingulate was shown to be connected with the visual areas, mesial and lateral parietal and temporal cortex.
