There is a paucity of data to guide anterior nucleus of the thalamus (ANT) deep brain stimulation (DBS) with brain sensing. The clinical Medtronic Percept DBS device provides constrained brain sensing power within a frequency band (power-in-band [PIB]), recorded in 10-min averaged increments. Here, four patients with temporal lobe epilepsy were implanted with an investigational device providing full bandwidth chronic intracranial electroencephalogram (cEEG) from bilateral ANT and hippocampus (Hc). ANT PIB-based seizure detection was assessed. Detection parameters were cEEG PIB center frequency, bandwidth, and epoch duration. Performance was evaluated against epileptologist-confirmed Hc seizures, and assessed by area under the precision-recall curve (PR-AUC). Data included 99 days of cEEG, and 20, 278, 3, and 18 Hc seizures for Subjects 1-4. The best detector had 7-Hz center frequency, 5-Hz band width, and 10-s epoch duration (group PR-AUC = .90), with 75% sensitivity and .38 false alarms per day for Subject 1, and 100% and .0 for Subjects 3 and 4. Hc seizures in Subject 2 did not propagate to ANT. The relative change of ANT PIB was maximal ipsilateral to seizure onset for all detected seizures. Chronic ANT and Hc recordings provide direct guidance for ANT DBS with brain sensing.

PURPOSE: To investigate possible neuronal dysfunction of the thalamus in patients suffering from typical absence epilepsy, using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). Special attention was paid to levels of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and creatine (Cr), and to the NAA/Cr ratio. METHODS: MRS was performed over the right and left thalamus in nine patients suffering from typical absence epilepsy, and in nine sex- and age-matched healthy controls. All patients and controls were examined using a standard MRS-CSI (chemical shift imaging) technique. RESULTS: Statistical analysis of the obtained data demonstrated a significantly lower thalamic NAA/Cr ratio in patients with typical absence epilepsy when compared to the healthy controls. Our MRS data showed symmetrical distribution of NAA/Cr ratio in the right and left thalamus within both the patient group and the group of healthy controls. No significant correlation between the patients' thalamic NAA/Cr values and the duration of the epilepsy or seizure frequency was revealed. CONCLUSIONS: The present MRS data clearly indicate neuronal dysfunction in the thalami of patients with typical absence epilepsy. In agreement with other recent MRS findings in different idiopathic generalized epilepsy syndromes, our results confirm the role of the thalamus as an important structure in the pathogenesis of typical absence epilepsy.

PURPOSE: to investigate potential neuronal dysfunction within the thalamus in patients suffering from mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE/HS). METHODS: we examined twenty epileptic patients suffering from mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (17 females, 3 males) and twenty sex- and age-matched healthy controls. H MR spectroscopic imaging (SI) was performed over the right and left thalamus in all patients and controls. In addition both hippocampi were investigated by the H MR spectroscopic single voxel (SV) technique in both groups. RESULTS: statistical analysis of compared data in both groups demonstrated that the total thalamic NAA level was significantly decreased in patients with MTLE/HS as compared to healthy controls. Detailed analysis revealed a statistically significant reduction of NAA, NAA/Cr and NAA/(Cr+Cho) ratios in the thalamus ipsilateral to hippocampus affected with hippocampal sclerosis in patients compared to controls, while no significant changes were observed in the thalamus contralateral to sclerotic hippocampus. A comparison of values in ipsilateral and contralateral thalami in patients showed statistically significant difference with lower values of NAA and both ratios in the ipsilateral thalamus. Previously reported reduced hippocampal concentration of NAA, NAA/Cr and NAA/(Cr+Cho) ratios on the side of hippocampal sclerosis compared with contralateral hippocampus in patients and both hippocampi in controls was confirmed. CONCLUSIONS: the present MRS data clearly indicate neuronal dysfunction within the thalamus ipsilateral to the sclerotic hippocampus of patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. In agreement with other recent functional and structural neuroimagings our results confirm the role of the ipsilateral thalamus in the medial temporal/limbic epileptic network.

We hypothesized that local/regional properties of stimulated structure/circuitry contribute to the effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS). We analyzed intracerebral electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings from externalized DBS electrodes targeted bilaterally in the anterior nuclei of the thalamus (ANT) in 12 patients (six responders, six nonresponders) with more than 1 year of follow-up care. In the bipolar local field potentials of the EEG, spectral power (PW) and power spectral entropy (PSE) were calculated in the passbands 1-4, 4-8, 8-12, 12-20, 20-45, 65-80, 80-200 and 200-500 Hz. The most significant differences between responders and nonresponders were observed in the BRIDGE area (bipolar recordings with one contact within the ANT and the second contact in adjacent tissue). In responders, PW was significantly decreased in the frequency bands of 65-80, 80-200, and 200-500 Hz (p < .05); PSE was significantly increased in all frequency bands (p < .05) except for 200-500 Hz (p = .06). The local EEG characteristics of ANT recorded after implantation may play a significant role in DBS response prediction.

OBJECTIVE: To study the involvement of the anterior nuclei of the thalamus (ANT) as compared to the involvement of the hippocampus in the processes of encoding and recognition during visual and verbal memory tasks. METHODS: We studied intracerebral recordings in patients with pharmacoresistent epilepsy who underwent deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the ANT with depth electrodes implanted bilaterally in the ANT and compared the results with epilepsy surgery candidates with depth electrodes implanted bilaterally in the hippocampus. We recorded the event-related potentials (ERPs) elicited by the visual and verbal memory encoding and recognition tasks. RESULTS: P300-like potentials were recorded in the hippocampus by visual and verbal memory encoding and recognition tasks and in the ANT by the visual encoding and visual and verbal recognition tasks. No significant ERPs were recorded during the verbal encoding task in the ANT. In the visual and verbal recognition tasks, the P300-like potentials in the ANT preceded the P300-like potentials in the hippocampus. CONCLUSIONS: The ANT is a structure in the memory pathway that processes memory information before the hippocampus. We suggest that the ANT has a specific role in memory processes, especially memory recognition, and that memory disturbance should be considered in patients with ANT-DBS and in patients with ANT lesions. ANT is well positioned to serve as a subcortical gate for memory processing in cortical structures.

Ontogenetic changes in the levels of GABA(B) receptors and their ability to modulate adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity were analyzed in rat cortex, thalamus and hippocampus. The relative numbers of GABA(B) receptors (measured as saturable, high-affinity [(3)H](-)baclofen binding sites) in cortex and thalamus were high already at postnatal day 1 (PD 1) and they reached a maximum at PD 25 and PD 12, respectively. There were no detectable high-affinity [(3)H](-)baclofen binding sites in hippocampus between birth and PD 12 and low-affinity [(3)H](-)baclofen binding attained at PD 12 did not change in adulthood (PD 90). Whereas GTP-stimulated AC activity in cortex and thalamus was depressed by baclofen, it was enhanced in hippocampus. These data indicate that the inhibitory effect of baclofen on AC in cortex and thalamus is primarily mediated through the alpha subunits of G(i)/G(o) proteins. The stimulatory effect of baclofen in hippocampus may be explained by engagement of Gbetagamma subunits.
