    EEG-based biomarkers predict individual differences in TMS-induced entrainment of intrinsic brain rhythms

    Full text link
    Background: Entrainment (increase) and modulation (shift) of intrinsic brain oscillations via rhythmic-TMS (rh-TMS) enables to either increase the amplitude of the individual peak oscillatory frequency, or experimentally slowing/accelerating this intrinsic peak oscillatory frequency by slightly shifting it. Both entrainment, and modulation of brain oscillations can lead to different measurable perceptual and cognitive changes. However, there are noticeable between-participant differences in such experimental entrainment outcomes. Objective/hypothesis: The current study aimed at explaining these inter-individual differences in entrainment/frequency shift success. Here we hypothesize that the width and the height of the Arnold tongue, i.e., the frequency offsets that can still lead to oscillatory change, can be individually modelled via resting-state neural markers, and may explain and predict efficacy and limitation of successful rhythmic-TMS (rh-TMS) manipulation. Methods: Spectral decomposition of resting-state data was used to extract the spectral curve of alpha activity, serving as a proxy of an individual Arnold tongue. These parameters were then used as predictors of the rh-TMS outcome, when increasing alpha-amplitude (i.e., applying pulse train tuned to the individual alpha frequency, IAF), or modulating the alpha-frequency (i.e., making alpha faster or slower by stimulating at IAF±1Hz frequencies). Results: Our results showed that the height of the at-rest alpha curve predicted how well the entrainment increased the intrinsic oscillatory peak frequency, with a higher at-rest spectral curve negatively predicting amplitude-enhancement during entrainment selectively during IAF-stimulation. In contrast, the wider the resting-state alpha curve, the higher the modulation effects aiming to shift the intrinsic frequency towards faster or slower rhythms. Conclusion: These results not only offer a theoretical and experimental model for explaining the variance across different rh-TMS studies reporting heterogenous rh-TMS outcomes, but also introduce a potential biomarker and corresponding evaluative tool to develop most optimal and personalized rh-TMS protocols, both in research and clinical applications

    Quantification of myocardial effective transverse relaxation time with magnetic resonance at 7.0 Tesla for a better understanding of myocardial (patho)physiology

    Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has become an indispensable tool in the assessment of cardiac structure, morphology, and function. CMR also affords myocardial tissue characterization and probing of cardiac physiology, both being the focus of ongoing research. These developments are fueled by the move to ultrahigh magnetic field strengths, which permit enhanced sensitivity and spatial resolution that help to overcome the limitations of current clinical MR systems. This chapter reviews the potential of using CMR as a means to assess physiology in the heart muscle by exploiting quantification of myocardial effective transverse relaxation times (T(2)*) for a better understanding of myocardial (patho)physiology. For this purpose, the basic principles of T(2)* mapping, the biophysical mechanisms governing T(2)*, and (pre)clinical applications of myocardial T(2)* mapping are presented. Technological challenges and solutions for T(2)*-sensitized CMR at ultrahigh magnetic field strengths are discussed followed by a survey of acquisition techniques and post-processing approaches. Preliminary results derived from myocardial T(2)* mapping of healthy subjects and in patients at 7.0 Tesla are presented. A concluding section provides an outlook including future developments and potential applications

    Investigation of the fiber composition effect upon sack paper properties

    No full text
    The article presents data on production volumes of sack paper, which is produced by the world's leading companies. The main raw material for the manufacture of this product is unbleached softwood sulphate pulp having a high cost. In the present research work the fiber composition effect upon sack paper properties was investigated. This makes it possible to determine the optimal mass ratio of unbleached kraft primary fibers (kraft pulp) and seco ndary fibers (waste paper) for the manufacture of sack paper. Doptimal continuous design (Kono, 1962) for the estimating second order polynomial full models was used as the experiment design for the optimization of the pulp fiber composition. Considering the restrictions on the quality parameters speci fied in GOST 2228–81 “Sack paper. Specifications” the analysis of the obtained experimental data using the search function in Mi crosoft Excel 2007 gave the following results on the sack paper fiber composition: kraft pulp content ( X1) – 43.30% of a. d. s.; polyacrylonitrile fibers content ( X2) – 0.15% of a. d. s.; waste paper content – 56.55% of a. d. s. During the experiment it was found that an increase of polyacrylonitrile fibers content from 0.05 to 0.20% in the kraft pulp structure leads to the increase of sack paper tensile strength by 25–28% (breaking length increased from 5,700 to 7,300 m). But paper whiteness at the same time decreased by 9.7%. This made possible to reduce the content of expensive kraft pulp in the composition of sack paper by 27% (taking into account the 30,000 t/year production of sack pa per, saving of kraft pulp can reach 8,000 t/year)
