A Large-Scale Brain Network Mechanism for Increased Seizure Propensity in Alzheimer’s Disease

Abstract: People with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are 6-10 times more likely to develop seizures than the healthy aging population. Leading hypotheses largely consider increased excitability of local cortical tissue as primarily responsible for increased seizure prevalence in AD. However, both local dynamics and large-scale brain network structure are believed to be crucial for determining seizure likelihood and phenotype. In this study, we combine computational modelling with electrophysiological data to demonstrate a pot… Show more

“…For example, it is known that patients with Alzheimer's disease are about 6-10 times more likely to develop seizures as compared to the normal population (Pandis and Scarmeas, 2012 ). Tait et al ( 2021a ) using a whole-brain pipeline, find that functional connectomes of AD patients show a greater propensity to transition into seizure states as compared to healthy connectomes. Here individual nodes in the network are modeled as phase oscillators capable of producing neuronal spiking in response to inputs.…”

“…Here individual nodes in the network are modeled as phase oscillators capable of producing neuronal spiking in response to inputs. By systematically varying the excitability parameter of individual nodes, the authors show that AD connectomes are more ictogenic as compared to control connectomes for a wide range of excitatory input (Tait et al, 2021a ).…”
