abstract = {BackgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) frequently causes
epilepsy and myoclonus. These symptoms are thought to be
associated with neuronal hyperexcitability, highlighting the
need for biomarkers that reflect synaptic functional
alterations.ObjectiveWe aimed to examine changes in neuronal
excitability associated with AD progression using
magnetoencephalography (MEG). Furthermore, we investigated
the relationship between alterations in electromagnetic
signals and other neuroimaging biomarkers.MethodsWe measured
middle-latency somatosensory evoked magnetic fields (m-SEFs)
following right median nerve stimulation in 45 individuals,
comprising 6, 8, and 31 individuals with AD dementia (ADD),
mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and cognitively healthy
older adults, respectively. Cortical reactivity relative to
the primary somatosensory response (N20 m) was assessed
using normalized m-SEF waveforms. Additionally, we analyzed
associations between these waveforms and amyloid-β (Aβ)
deposition, regional glucose metabolism, and gray matter
volume using positron-emission tomography and magnetic
resonance imaging.ResultsThe m-SEF waveform exhibited six
components (M2-M7) within 150 ms of the N20 m (M1) response.
The m-SEF waveforms tended to be enlarged in ADD and MCI,
with a significant enhancement of M2 in ADD. The amplitude
of M7 at approximately 100 ms latency was significantly and
positively correlated with local Aβ deposition in the
sensorimotor cortex. Moreover, regional glucose
hypometabolism in the hippocampus and pulvinar was
significantly associated with enlargement of the M4, M6, and
M7 components.ConclusionsThese findings indicate that
cortical responses to somatosensory stimulation are
modulated by AD progression. M-SEF may serve as a potential
marker for evaluating cortical excitability in the
sensorimotor cortex.},
