Abstract: We recorded reaction times (RTs) and event-related potentials (ERPs) in patients with unilateral lesions during a memory search task. Participants memorized faces or abstract words, which were then recognized among new ones. The RT deficit found in patients with left brain damage (LBD) for words increased with memory set size, suggesting that their problem relates to memory search. In contrast, the RT deficit found in patients with RBD for faces was apparently related to perceptual encoding, a conclusion also supported by their reduced P100 ERP component. A late slow wave (720-1720 ms) was enhanced in patients, particularly to words in patients with LBD, and to faces in patients with RBD. Thus, the slow wave was largest in the conditions with most pronounced performance deficits, suggesting that it reflects deficit-related resource recruitment.

Back Task

Abstract. Working memory supports our ability to maintain goal-relevant information that guides cognition in the face of distraction or competing tasks. The N-back task has been widely used in cognitive neuroscience to examine the functional neuroanatomy of working memory. Fewer studies have capitalized on the temporal resolution of event-related brain potentials (ERPs) to examine the time course of neural activity in the N-back task. The primary goal of the current study was to characterize slow wave activity observed in the response-to-stimulus interval in the N-back task that may be related to maintenance of information between trials in the task. In three experiments, we examined the effects of N-back load, interference, and response accuracy on the amplitude of the P3b following stimulus onset and slow wave activity elicited in the response-to-stimulus interval. Consistent with previous research, the amplitude of the P3b decreased as N-back load increased. Slow wave activity over the frontal and posterior regions of the scalp was sensitive to N-back load and was insensitive to interference or response accuracy. Together these findings lead to the suggestion that slow wave activity observed in the response-to-stimulus interval is related to the maintenance of information between trials in the 1-back task.

Is a frontal positive slow wave in the ERP specific for emotion-focused processing?

Neurologische Defizite

Zusammenfassung Einleitung: Bis zu einem Drittel der Epilepsiepatienten leidet unter einer therapieschwierigen Epilepsie. Dies bedeutet eine erhebliche Belastung im Alltag, zudem können neurologische Defizite resultieren. Wieso die Patienten nicht auf die vorhandenen Therapieoptionen ansprechen, ist noch weitestgehend unklar. Die Rasmussen-Enzephalitis (RE) ist ein Beispiel für eine therapieschwierige Epilepsie. Fallbericht: Nach unauffälliger motorischer und sprachlicher Entwicklung traten im Alter von 6 Jahren bei dem Mädchen das erste Mal fokale und komplex-fokale Krampfanfälle auf. Auch unter antikonvulsiver Polytherapie konnte eine Anfallsfreiheit nicht erreicht werden. Zudem entwickelte sich eine über viele Jahre progrediente Hemiatrophia cerebri, und es zeigten sich einseitig betonte epilepsietypische EEG-Muster mit Verlangsamungen und sharp-slow-wave-Komplexen. In Zusammenschau dieser Befunde konnte die Diagnose einer Rasmussen-Enzephalitis gestellt werden. Repetitive Stoßtherapien mit Methylprednisolon und Immunglobulinen brachten kurzfristig eine Linderung der Krampfsituation, die neurologischen Defizite und die daraus resultierende enorme psychische Belastung waren jedoch progredient. Diskussion: Am ehesten wird von einer autoimmunen Reaktion als Ursache der Rasmussen Enzephalitis ausgegangen. Ein optimales medikamentöses Therapieschema dieser Epilepsie gibt es bis heute nicht. Eine frühzeitige Diagnosestellung und sofortiger Therapiebeginn lassen die Krankheit jedoch meist langsamer und weniger schwerwiegend voranschreiten. Einzig die Hemisphärektomie bringt in bis zu 85 % der Fälle eine Anfallsfreiheit. Die damit einhergehende spastische Hemiparese, Hemianopsie sowie Sprachstörungen lassen die Entscheidung zur Operation jedoch schwer fallen. Gemeinsam mit dem Patienten und seiner Familie muss eine sorgfältige Risiko-NutzenAbwägung erfolgen.
