为了获得高质量的脑电图-心电记录, 没有任何文物, 应采取一切预防措施, 以防止退化或松动的植入电极和电线。当 EEG 头植入物变得松散时, 与大脑的导线接触会降低, 导致信号振幅降低。松散的植入物或不良的导线接触也会导致电信号失真, 将运动工件和背景噪音引入录音。为防止头部植入物可能松动, 在闭合头皮切口的基础上, 在种植体周围应用大量的牙科水泥, 以确保最大的强度和附着力。还?...

脑电图 (eeg) 和心电图 (ECG) 是强有力的和广泛使用的技术, 以评估在体内脑和心脏功能, 分别。EEG 是通过将电极连接到头皮1来记录电脑活动。用非侵入性脑电图记录的信号是由皮层锥体神经元产生的发货兴奋和抑制突触后电位引起的电压波动1,2。脑电图是评价和管理癫痫患者的最常见的 neurodiagnostic 测试3,4。这是特别有用的, 当癫痫发作发生时, 没有明显的抽搐行为表现, 如缺勤发作或无抽搐状态持续癫痫症5,6。反之, 非癫痫相关的情况, 导致抽搐发作或意识丧失可能被误诊为癫痫发作没有视频脑电图监测7。除了在癫痫领域的用处之外, EEG 还广泛用于检测与睡眠障碍、脑和记忆障碍有关的异常脑活动, 以及在手术中补充全身麻醉2,8,9。
与脑电图相反, 心电图 (有时简称心电图) 是心脏电活动的记录10。心电图通常是通过在四肢和胸壁上贴上电极来进行的, 这样可以在收缩和松弛的每个心脏周期中检测到心肌产生的电压变化10,11。正常心脏周期的主要心电图波形成分包括 P 波、QRS 复合体和 T 波, 分别对应于心房去极化、心室去极化和心室复极,10, 11. 心电图监测通常用于确定心脏传导系统的心律失常和缺陷12。在癫痫患者中, 使用心电图识别潜在的危及生命的心律失常的重要性被放大了, 因为他们是在明显增加心脏骤停的风险, 以及突然意外死亡的癫痫13, 14,15。
除了临床应用, 脑电图和心电图记录已经成为识别小鼠疾病模型中大脑和心脏功能障碍的不可或缺的工具。尽管传统上这些录音是单独进行的, 我们在这里描述了一种在小鼠中同时记录视频、脑电图和心电图的技术。在这里详细介绍的同步视频脑电图-心电图方法采用栓式记录配置, 在鼠标头上植入的电极硬连接到记录设备。历史上, 这种拴, 或有线, 配置已成为标准和最广泛使用的方法, 脑电图记录小鼠;然而, 无线脑电波遥测系统也在最近得到了发展, 并且越来越受欢迎16。
与无线脑电图系统相比, 栓系安排具有若干技术优势, 可根据所需的应用而使其更可取。这些优势包括更多的频道记录脑电图或其他 biopotentials;降低电极成本;电极一次性;对信号损耗的敏感性较小;和更大的频率带宽 (i. e, 采样率) 的录音17。正确地做, 这里描述的栓录音方法能提供高质量, 无工件的 EEG 和心电图数据同时, 与相应的录影为行为监视。这种脑电图和心电图数据, 然后可以挖掘, 以确定神经, 心脏, 或 neurocardiac 异常, 如癫痫发作, 改变脑电图功率谱, 心脏传导阻滞 (i. e, 跳过心脏跳动), 和心率变异性的变化。为了演示这些 EEG-心电图定量方法的应用, 我们提出了一个使用Kcna1挖空 (-) 鼠标的示例实验。Kcna1--小鼠缺乏电压门控的 Kv1.1 α亚基, 结果显示自发性癫痫发作、心功能不全和过早死亡, 使它们成为同时脑电图-心电图评价有害癫痫相关性的理想模型neurocardiac 功能障碍。

simultaneous video-eeg-ecg monitoring to identify neurocardiac dysfunction in mouse models of epilepsy

癫痫发作可以引起心律紊乱, 如心率变化、传导阻滞、asystoles 和心律失常, 这可能增加癫痫猝死的风险 (SUDEP)。脑电图 (eeg) 和心电图 (ECG) 是广泛使用的临床诊断工具, 以监测异常的大脑和心律失常患者。在这里, 一项技术, 同时记录视频, 脑电图和心电图的小鼠, 以测量行为, 大脑和心脏活动, 分别描述。本文所描述的技术采用了栓 (即, 有线) 记录配置, 其中植入的电极头上的鼠标是硬连接到录音设备。与无线遥测记录系统相比, 栓系布置具有多种技术优势, 如可能有更多的记录脑电图或其它 biopotentials 的通道数;降低电极成本;和更大的频率带宽 (即, 采样率) 的录音。这项技术的基础, 也可以很容易地修改, 以适应记录其他生理, 如肌电图 (肌电信号) 或描记评估的肌肉和呼吸活动, 分别。除了描述如何执行脑电图-心电记录, 我们还详细的方法, 以量化的结果数据的癫痫发作, 脑电图频谱功率, 心脏功能和心率变异性, 我们在一个例子实验演示使用鼠标癫痫由于Kcna1基因缺失。在小鼠癫痫或其他神经系统疾病模型中, 视频脑电图-心电图监测提供了一个强有力的工具来识别大脑、心脏或大脑-心脏相互作用的功能障碍。

为了演示如何分析从 eeg-心电图记录的数据, 以确定 neurocardiac 异常, 结果显示为一个24小时脑电图-心电图记录的Kcna1-/-鼠标 (2 月老)。这些突变的动物, 被设计为缺乏电压门控的 Kv1.1 α亚基编码的Kcna1基因, 是一个经常使用的遗传模型的癫痫, 因为他们表现出可靠和频繁的广义补药挛发作活动开始在大约2-3 周的年龄20。?...
