Abstract:
:Growing evidence has demonstrated widespread brain network alterations in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). However, the relatively accurate portrait of the subcortical-cortical relationship for impaired consciousness in TLE remains unclear. We proposed that consciousness-impairing seizures may invade subcortical arousal system and corresponding cortical regions, resulting in functional abnormalities and information flow disturbances between subcortical and cortical networks. We performed resting-state fMRI in 26 patients with TLE and 30 matched healthy controls. All included patients were diagnosed with impaired awareness during focal temporal lobe seizures. Functional connectivity density was adopted to determine whether local or distant network alterations occurred in TLE, and Granger causality analysis (GCA) was utilized to assess the direction and magnitude of causal influence among these altered brain networks further. Patients showed increased local functional connectivity in several arousal structures, such as the midbrain, thalamus, and cortical regions including bilateral prefrontal cortex (PFC), left superior temporal pole, left posterior insula, and cerebellum (P < 0.05, FDR corrected). GCA analysis revealed that the casual effects among these regions in patients were significantly sparser than those in controls (P < 0.05, uncorrected), including decreased excitatory and inhibitory effects among the midbrain, thalamus and PFC, and decreased inhibitory effect from the cerebellum to PFC. These findings suggested that consciousness-impairing seizures in TLE are associated with functional alterations and disruption of information process between the subcortical arousal system and cortical network. Understanding the functional networks and innervation pathway involved in TLE can provide insights into the mechanism underlying seizure-related loss of consciousness.
