Abstract
Background
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the centromedian-parafascicular (CM-Pf) thalamic nuclei has been considered an option for treating Tourette syndrome (TS). Using a large animal DBS model, this study was designed to explore the network effects of CM-Pf DBS.
Methods
The combination of DBS and functional MRI (fMRI) is a powerful means of tracing brain circuitry and testing the modulatory effects of electrical stimulation on a neuronal network in vivo. Using a with-in subjects design, we tested the proportional effects of CM and Pf DBS by manipulating current spread and varying stimulation contacts in healthy pigs (n=5).
Results
Our results suggests that CM-Pf DBS has an inhibitory modulating effect in areas that have been suggested as contributing to impaired sensory-motor and emotional processing. The results also help to define the differential neural circuitry effects of the CM and Pf with evidence of prominent sensorimotor/associative effects for CM DBS and prominent limbic/associative effects for Pf DBS.
Conclusions
Our results support the notion that stimulation of deep brain structures, such as the CM-Pf, modulates multiple networks with cortical effects. The networks affected by CM-Pf stimulation in this study reinforce the conceptualization of TS as a condition with psychiatric and motor symptoms and of CM-Pf DBS as a potentially effective tool for treating both types of symptoms.

INTRODUCTION
Increasingly, deep brain stimulation (DBS) is being considered a viable option for patients with medically refractory Tourette syndrome (TS) (1-9). TS is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by abrupt, stereotypic movements and vocalizations known as motor and vocal tics. The onset is usually in childhood with aggravation of symptoms in early adolescence (10). It is distinguished from other movement disorders by patient reports of pre-tic urges or compulsion to execute a stereotypic action (11) and by its frequent association with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, impulse control deficit, and other psychiatric conditions (12-14). This combination of motor and behavioral symptoms suggests that the pathophysiology of TS may be mediated by dysregulation of the corticostriatal-thalamocortical circuitry involving associative and limbic areas of the basal ganglia (BG) (15)[g484][g3]The therapeutic action of DBS and optimum targets for TS have not been established, but recent reports favor the globus pallidus internus and centromedian-parafascicular (CM-Pf) nuclei complex of the thalamus (10,16).
Studies using a variety of experimental paradigms suggest that hyperactive dopaminergic innervation and impaired function of BG circuitry play a major role in TS neuropathology (17-25). Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies of TS have implicated paralimbic and sensory-association areas in tic generation (25) and have suggested that distinct regions of cortico-BG networks contribute to TS (24,26). Diffusion tensor imaging in TS reveals abnormalities not only in the motor pathway, but also in associative and limbic pathway fibers (27). It has been shown, for example, that the BG of patients with TS has markedly reduced inhibitory interneuron density (28,29) and that these inhibitory interneurons are regulated by CM-Pf projections (30-32). Reports of tic reduction following CM-Pf DBS from our group (33) and improvement in behavioral symptoms (2,34-38) support the role of the CM-Pf in TS.
The CM-Pf nuclei complex is located in the posterior part of the intralaminar thalamus and is part of the nonspecific thalamocortical projection system and the internal circuit of the BG complex (39). It has been reported to have specific connections with the caudate (40), putamen, and globus pallidus (41), the nucleus accumbens (42), amygdala (43), hippocampus (HP) (44), anterior cingulate cortex, and insular cortex (IC) (45). Topographical analysis of the CM-Pf in the non-human primate shows differential connections with CM innervating the sensorimotor striatal area (32,46,47) and Pf innervating the associative-limbic striatal areas (32,48,49).
Functionally, the CM-Pf is thought to be involved in cognitive, sensory and motor processes, including sensorimotor coordination (30,50-52), arousal (53), pain processing (54,55), and sexual processing (56). CM-Pf lesions appear to cause complex attention deficits, possibly due to the role of these structures in directing attention to motivationally relevant stimuli (57).
Although MRI studies have helped identify the anatomical and structural connectivity between CM and Pf and subcortical-cortical networks (58), their individual functional effects have yet to be identified. The importance of precise targeting in DBS and the nature of the motor and behavioral symptom complex in TS warrant examination of the potential BG and cortical network effects of CM and Pf DBS.
To test the hypothesis that CM DBS and Pf DBS have differential effects on cortical and subcortical networks, we applied our previously described in vivo method of examining DBS-induced fMRI blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) changes in a large animal (pig) model of DBS (59,60). We tested the proportional effects of CM and Pf DBS by manipulating current spread and varying stimulation contacts in a within-subjects design in healthy pigs implanted with DBS. Our results showed functional network differences between the two targets with CM DBS inducing prominent sensorimotor-associative BOLD effects, and Pf DBS inducing prominent associative-limbic effects. The implication of these results for CM-Pf DBS in TS patients and for the symptomotology of TS are considered within the cautionary constraints inherent in relating findings from normal animals to human pathologic conditions.
METHODS
Subjects
All study procedures were performed in accordance with the National Institutes of Health Guidelines for Animal Research and approved by Mayo Clinic Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. The subject group consisted of 5 normal healthy domestic male pigs (30±3kg). Sedation was maintained with 1.5-3% isoflurane during surgery and with a mixture of 1.5-1.75% isoflurane and 0.5% NO2 during the fMRI experiment. Vital signs were continuously monitored throughout the procedures.
DBS Electrode Implantation
An MR image-guided Leksell stereotactic targeting system (Elekta Inc.,Stockholm, Sweden), specifically modified for large animals, was used for DBS electrode targeting and implantation (59). Imaging was conducted by a 3 Tesla MR scanner with a custom radiofrequency coil (59). Subjects were implanted with a quadripolar (contacts labeled 0,1,2, and 3) DBS electrode (Model 3389, Medtronic,Inc.). The electrode contacts were positioned so that Pf was between contacts 0 & 1 and CM was between contacts 1 & 2 based on the pig atlas (61,62) and anatomical landmarks (e.g., fasciculus retroflexus) in the MR image (Figure 1 and see Supplement for coordinate details). The location of the electrode was confirmed by a post-surgical CT scan (Image resolution 0.3×0.3×0.3mm), which was co-registered to the pre-MRI MPRAGE scan (FSL,FM-RIB Analysis group) (59,63-65).
fMRI and DBS
The fMRI experiment for each subject consisted of eight conditions in which the stimulation frequency and amplitude were varied for each set of contacts. Pf (contacts 0 and 1) and CM (contacts 1 and 2) were independently stimulated at a high frequency (130Hz) at 3V and 5V using a biphasic pulse width of 250μs. Each set of contacts (0-1 and 1-2) was then stimulated at a lower frequency (60Hz) at 3V and 5V in a sequential (non-randomized) order. There was a 10min rest interval between conditions.[g3](see Supplement for MRI sequence details).
Data Processing and Analysis
Followed by standard sequence of post-processing steps, the normalized datasets were analyzed by linear regression analysis using general linear model and multi-subject analysis. To correct for multiple comparisons and exclude false positive and negative voxels, only the significance level less than the False Discovery Rate (FDR<0.001) were considered. (see Supplement for detailed post-processing steps).
The total voxel size of significant change was measured (mm3), and discrete clusters were determined by anatomically defined brain structures in the 3D pig brain atlas. The measure of interest was the maximum or minimum event-related BOLD response (e.g, the minimum BOLD signal/5 volume average of baseline BOLD signal). This BOLD signal intensity change [%], representing minimum or maximum response intensities within each cluster, was labeled “BOLD % change” (mean±SEM).
RESULTS
As can be seen in Figure 2, there was a decrease in signal intensity (negative BOLD response) as measured by BOLD % change during DBS stimulation and an increase in BOLD % change after stimulation was terminated. The negative BOLD response also increased as a function of increased stimulation amplitude. The entire BOLD signal time series can be found in Supplement Figure S1.
Both CM DBS and Pf DBS evoked a significant decrease in the BOLD % change in the following brain regions: 1) the BG circuit, including caudate and putamen (CP); 2) the sensorimotor circuit, including primary motor cortex (PIMC), premotor cortex (PREMC) and primary somatosensory cortex (PSS); 3) the associative circuit, including prefrontal cortex (PFC); and 4) the limbic circuit, including dorsoanterior cingulate cortex (DACC), dorsoposterior cingulate cortex (DPCC), hippocampus (HP), parahippocampus (PHC), insular cortex (IC), amygdala, inferior temporal gyrus (ITG), and prepyriform cortex (PPC). Additional areas affected by both targets sites were the superior colliculus (SC), pineal gland and perirhinal cortex (PP) (FDR<0.001) (See Table S1). There were condition-specific results depending on contact site (Pf contacts vs CM contacts), stimulation frequency (130Hz vs 60Hz), and applied voltage (3V vs 5V).
BOLD effects as a function of contact difference (Pf vs CM at 3V 130Hz)
With stimulation at 130Hz and 3V (Figure 3) Pf DBS evoked negative BOLD in limbic areas, including the temporal lobe network (ITG, HP, PHC, PPC) and cingulate cortex (DACC, DPCC), as well as the associative area (PFC), with minimal effects in the sensorimotor network. CM DBS evoked negative BOLD predominantly in sensorimotor cortex (PIMC, PREMC and PSS) and the associative area (PFC). CM DBS induced a small area of negative BOLD in the temporal lobe, and showed negative BOLD in the cingulate cortex (DACC, DPCC), part of the limbic network. CM DBS, but not Pf DBS evoked a BOLD response in the caudate and putamen (CP) (Table S1).
Figure 4A compares the negative peak BOLD % change and the cluster size of each brain area affected by Pf DBS and CM DBS at 3V 130Hz. There was a significantly greater BOLD % change for CM compared to Pf DBS in DPCC, and PREMC (p<0.05,t-test). When comparing cluster size in % ratio, Pf DBS induced negative BOLD predominantly in limbic areas (ITG, HP, PHC, PPC) (>70% cluster size difference in Pf than in CM), and CM DBS induced negative BOLD predominantly in sensorimotor areas (PSS, PIMC, PREMC) and the associative area (PFC) (>70% cluster size difference in CM than in Pf).
Figure 4C shows a distribution diagram of each cluster size % ratio in relation to known brain circuits, specifically the BG (CP), sensorimotor (PSS, PIMC, PREMC), associative (PFC), and limbic circuits (ITG, HP, PHC, PPC, IC, DACC, DPCC), and other non-specific (NS) areas (e.g., PP,SC). The distribution of areas affected by Pf DBS was predominantly limbic (51%), followed by sensorimotor (25%), associative (11%), and NS areas (13%). The distribution of areas affected by CM DBS was predominantly sensorimotor (73%), followed by limbic (15%), associative (6%) and NS (5%).
BOLD effects as a function of stimulation frequency (130Hz vs 60Hz)
With stimulation at 60Hz and 3V both Pf and CM DBS generated a negative BOLD response in sensorimotor areas (PSS, PIMC, PREMC) and the associative area (PFC) (see Figure S2). As seen in Figure 4B the only significant difference between Pf and CM DBS as measured by BOLD % change was in the PREMC (p<0.05,t-test). In addition, at 60 Hz there was a less pronounced cluster size difference in sensorimotor areas (PSS, PIMC, PREMC) between Pf and CM than there was at 130 Hz. Only PIMC showed >70% cluster size difference when comparing CM to Pf DBS, implying that the sensorimotor effects of Pf DBS were stronger at 60Hz than at 130Hz. The limbic effects for Pf DBS that were present at 130Hz disappeared at 60Hz, while at 60Hz CM DBS continued to evoke negative BOLD in the cingulate cortex, ITG, and IC. As seen in Figure 4C, the large distribution of limbic areas (51%) with Pf DBS at 130Hz decreased to 0% at 60Hz, while with CM DBS the cluster distribution stayed within the 5% range of variance across frequencies in sensorimotor, associative, limbic, and other NS areas.
BOLD effects as a function of stimulation amplitude (3V vs 5V)
The effects of 5V of Pf and CM DBS across frequencies are depicted in Figure 5A and B. There was a similar negative BOLD response in the sensorimotor, associative, and limbic areas at 130Hz and 60Hz for both Pf and CM DBS. The cluster distribution in Figure 5C shows that regardless of stimulation frequency (130Hz vs 60Hz) or DBS contact (Pf vs CM), the distribution remained stable (<5% variance). Especially, the cluster size distribution remained stable for CM DBS (<5% variance) regardless of frequency (130Hz vs 60Hz) or amplitude (3V vs 5V) (See Figure 4C, and Figure 5C). Pf DBS was sensitive to both frequency and amplitude with major regions of BOLD signal response in limbic areas (51% of cluster size distribution) at 130Hz 3V DBS, and major regions of BOLD signal response in sensorimotor areas (86% of cluster size distribution) at 60Hz 3V DBS.
The stimulation amplitude effect on BOLD % change and cluster size % ratio are summarized in Supplement Figure S3. Across conditions, the associative area (PFC) and sensorimotor areas (PSS, PIMC, PREMC) showed a significant increase of negative BOLD % change (p<0.05,t-test) by increased amplitude (3V to 5V). Pf DBS evoked a significant BOLD % change in limbic areas (ITG, IC, DPCC at 130Hz and IC at 60Hz) as the stimulation amplitude increased, especially for both 130Hz and 60Hz the associative area (PFC) was most sensitive to stimulation amplitude showing significance of p<0.001 in BOLD % change. For CM DBS at 130Hz, the motor areas (PIMC and PREMC) BOLD % changes were most sensitive to stimulation amplitude increase (p<0.001,t-test). In most of the cases the cluster size increased as the stimulation amplitude increased, except for DACC and SC with 130Hz Pf DBS; PSS, PIMC, PREMC with 130Hz CM DBS; and PIMC with 60Hz CM DBS; which showed less then 10% cluster size difference. Of note, a negative BOLD response was present in the BG (CP) at all 5V conditions, and a positive BOLD effect was present in the contralateral hemisphere in the ventroanterior thalamic nucleus, central thalamic nucleus, cerebellar peduncle, ITG, IC, PFC, PSS and PREMC at all 5V conditions (Table S1).
DISCUSSION
The goal of this study was to test the hypothesis that CM DBS and Pf DBS have differential global functional network effects. Given the heterogeneous nature of the symptoms associated with TS and the currently known circuitry of CM and Pf, it was hoped that the results would add insight into the individual and combined contributions of CM and Pf as DBS targets.
The results of this study showed that both CM and Pf DBS significantly decreased BOLD response (66,67) in sensorimotor, associative, and limbic circuits. Differential effects appear dependent upon stimulation frequency and amplitude. Pf DBS appears more sensitive to frequency and amplitude than CM DBS. Under lower amplitude-high frequency stimulation CM DBS appears to have greater effects on sensorimotor and associative than on limbic circuits, and Pf DBS appears to have greater effects on limbic and associative than on sensoritmotor circuits. Regardless of frequency, higher amplitude stimulation of CM and of Pf resulted in a similar pattern of negative BOLD for both targets, affecting the BG, sensorimotor, associative, and limbic circuits.
These results are consistent with current understanding of the anatomical projections of CM and Pf. The CM-Pf is known to have dense topographically organized thalamostriatal projections and is thought to alter striatal activity through modulation of the thalamostriatal system. Early studies of nonhuman primates reveal that CM and Pf projections are distinct, complementary, and directed mainly to the striatum (68-70). Recently, Ding et al. (71) suggested that the corticostriatal and thalamostriatal projection systems encode information in temporally distinct ways, with the thalamostriatal system conveying precisely timed episodic signals, which may modulate corticostriatal activity. That is, CM-Pf inputs to striatal interneurons may have an important modulatory influence on medium spiny neurons, providing them with a feed-forward inhibition. The CM-Pf complex is also reported to respond to behaviorally significant multimodal stimuli, and this response is correlated with striatal activity (57,72).
CM and Pf provide distinct inputs to different parts of striatum. Using an anterograde tracer, it has been reported that the CM collects in bands and synapses on neurons of the post-commissural putamen, while Pf sends dense input to the caudate and rostral putamen (32). It has been suggested that the CM receives input from the motor cortex, reticular formation, cerebellum, vestibular nuclei, superior colliculus, pretectum, and the locus ceruleus (55) and sends projections to the motor loop which extends from the medial CM to the post-commissural putamen then to the ventrolateral GPi and back to the CM (73), and a much smaller projection to the primary motor cortex (74). That is, the CM is thought to be associated with ipsilateral central and precentral motor areas, although cortical projection neurons are less numerous and may be distinct from those projecting to the sensorimotor striatum. Nanda et al. (75) reported that CM stimulation results in striatal response patterns with excitatory and inhibitory components and that most excitatory responses in their study were transient and the response terminated before the end of the stimulation. Moreover, CM stimulation related to reductions in tonically active neurons and that are likely mediated via GABAergic transmission in the striatum. This structural network is further supported by studies showing that CM stimulation induces a decrease in striatal acetylcholine release (76,77).
Pf, on the other hand, projects to the anterior cingulate cortex, the premotor and prefrontal cortices and receives inputs from associational frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital cortices (78-80). Recent animal studies have shown that chemical activation of the Pf elicits a GABAergic inhibition of striatal acetylcholine release (81). In addition, studies of epilepsy have reported that high frequency Pf stimulation interrupted ongoing hippocampal paroxysmal discharges with possible support of GABAergic involvement (82-84).
Recognizing the inherent constraints of extrapolating findings from healthy animals to human pathologic conditions, the circuitry effects in this study may be of relevance to the heterogeneous symptoms of TS and the potential utility of CM-Pf as a clinical DBS target. Structural neuroimaging studies of patients with TS suggest that functionally segregated sensorimotor, associative and limbic cortico-BG networks contribute to the heterogenous clinical expressions of TS (26), including simple (85,86) and complex tics (26) and psychiatric co-morbidities (87,88).
fMRI in patients with TS, shows excessive activity in motor pathways and reduced activation in the control portions of cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical circuits (89), amygdala hypersensitivity in response to emotional facial expressions (90), functional disorganization of cortico-BG and a correlation between severity of OCD and functional abnormalities in associative and limbic networks, specifically in the orbito-frontal and dorsolateral prefrontal cortices (24). Tic severity has also been correlated with abnormalities in the premotor, sensorimotor, parietal and cingulate cortices, and the medial thalamus, and tic complexity with abnormalities in the sensorimotor area and associative networks, specifically in the insula and putamen (24). Bohlhalter et al. (25) found that during tic production, there was significant activity in sensorimotor areas, including the superior parietal lobule bilaterally and the cerebellum. In contrast, during the feeling of “urge” immediately prior to tic onset, there was activation in paralimbic areas, including the anterior cingulate and insular cortex, the supplementary motor area, and the parietal operculum.
CM-PF DBS was first conducted (7) based on a 1970 paper by Hassler and Dieckmann (91), in which prior to conducting bilateral thalamotomy to treat TS, they reported that stimulating different areas of the thalamus (intralaminar nucleus and lamella medialis) showed indications of emotional regulation through electrical stimulation (8-50Hz). Based on their previous experience with thalamotomy for OCD, they suggested that the rostral intraliminar nucleus might control the impulse component of TS, affecting the thalamo-cortical system between the medial nucleus and the prefrontal cortex (92).
Using [18F]fallypride PET in patients with TS, Kuhn et al. (23) found that bithalamic DBS was associated with reduction in dopaminergic transmission. Prior to stimulation, the patients were found to have increased dopaminergic transmission compared to healthy controls. During Pf stimulation, the dorsomedial nucleus and lamella medialis of the thalamus induced decreased dopaminergic transmission in the thalamus and inferior temporal cortex, but had no effect on the caudate and putamen.
Our results suggest that CM-Pf stimulation spreads via orthodromic and/or antidromic connections. When the electrical spread was large enough (via high amplitude DBS), CM and Pf DBS had similar circuitry effects; when the spread was reduced (via lower amplitude DBS), more specific network manipulations were possible. Given that the stimulation parameters for clinical applications of CM-Pf DBS in TS range from ~2V to 6V at ~90 to 130Hz (33,93), our finding of network differences between CM and Pf DBS suggests that DBS frequency and amplitude may be important considerations. Pf DBS appears to be more closely associated with the associative-limbic circuitry of the BG and also more sensitive to frequency and amplitude than CM DBS. Thus, manipulations of Pf may be of particular interest when treating behavioral symptoms associated with TS and possibly other conditions considered to be paralimbic in origin.
The CM-Pf circuit also may mediate response to unexpected brain events. Minamimoto (72) suggested that CM-Pf can induce an externally driven re-biasing process in the striatum that assists in selecting and executing actions appropriate for unexpected situations. This possibility implies that CM-Pf DBS might be a powerful tool in controlling multiple abnormal hyperactive BG functions and connectivity in neuropsychiatric conditions such as TS (2,3). On the other hand, adverse effects of CM-Pf DBS in TS patients, which includes impaired concentration, subjective gaze impairment, and alteration of sexual behavior (10,36), may also be related to the network effects found in our results.
Part of the central thalamic diffuse arousal system, CM-Pf has shown some benefit as a DBS target for patients in a chronic minimally conscious state (94-96). Our results suggest that CM-Pf DBS has a strong effect on the pineal gland, which produces several important circadian hormones including melatonin. Of note, CM-Pf stimulation may affect the sleep-wake cycle and sexual development, as well as regulation of endocrine functions (7,95).
Recently, McCairn and Worbe et al. (97-99) describe steps toward the development of a primate model of TS in which injections of GABA-antagonist into the striatum resulted in TS-like symptoms. They found that tic-like movements were associated with sensorimotor network, hyperactivity to the associative territories, and stereotypic behaviors linked to orbitofrontal cortex and limbic part of BG. Future disease animal model studies are needed to elucidate the links between the circuitry effects of DBS and behavioral outcomes.
Our use of a high precision Leksell stereotactic targeting system modified for large animals enhances accuracy in positioning the multi-contact DBS electrodes for CM and Pf respectively (59,100). However, despite confirmation of targeting accuracy by CT, the pig brain atlas notation of the electrode position is based on AC-PC alignment, proportionally resized by AC-PC length. Thus, accuracy can only be reached within a certain probability on the basis of the atlas.
Additional limitations includes that the animals were anesthetized and under muscle relaxant that was based on previous animal fMRI studies showing robust visual and electrical stimulation-dependent BOLD responses, electrophysiological, and neurotransmitter responses (101-105). Also of note, the Medtronic DBS electrodes used in this study have been reported to have an effective electric field up to 2~3mm (106). Thus, it is possible that adjacent thalamic nuclei, such as mediodorsal thalamic nucleus, may have been affected. Also in our sequential experimental design, we cannot rule out the possibility that the previous stimulation parameter may have affected the one following in the next condition. Future studies using selective neuronal activation methods (107-109) applied to substructures and different TS DBS targets, such as GPi and NAc (59,60) which have shown to have different effect in TS (10) could provide enhanced identification of the neuromodulary network effects of neural stimulation.
Safety risk, including increased temperature near the electrode tips from MRI scanner RF field focusing (110-112) prohibits conducting fMRI in humans with implanted DBS systems. However, in our recent study of in-vivo temperature measurements during MRI in a DBS-implanted pig, we confirmed that EPI sequence induced temperature change within the safety range for the animal brain (113).
fMRI is an indirect measure of neuronal activity via changes in hemodynamic parameters, and further research is needed to characterize the actual physiologic changes in the affected areas and to identify and interpret their role in behavioral change using concurrent alternate methodologies (114). The dynamic inter-relationships and effects of neuronal mechanisms, involving different system modules, during DBS are complex, but this complexity does not negate the possibility that the net output of the circuitry effect of DBS is reflected in the cortex (59,60,115), findings that are not limited to MR coil sensitivity distribution (data not included).
In summary, our results suggests that CM-Pf DBS has an inhibitory modulating effect in areas that have been suggested as contributing to impaired sensory-motor and emotional processing. Our findings support the notion that stimulation of deep brain structures, such as the CM-Pf, modulates multiple networks with cortical effects. The networks affected by CM-Pf stimulation in this study are consistent with current knowledge of their anatomic projections. While these results cannot be generalized to the clinical utility of DBS for TS, nor serve as an explanatory construct for TS symptom heterogeneity, they do provide evidence of differential motor, associative and limbic DBS-induced changes and stimulation parameter manipulation with CM and Pf DBS.
