RATIONALE: The NOGO P3 event-related potential is a sensitive marker of alcoholism, relates to EEG oscillation in the δ and θ frequency ranges, and reflects activation of an inhibitory processing network. Degradation of white matter tracts related to age or alcoholism should negatively affect the oscillatory activity within the network. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to evaluate the effect of alcoholism and age on δ and θ oscillations and the relationship between these oscillations and measures of white matter microstructural integrity. METHODS: Data from ten long-term alcoholics to 25 nonalcoholic controls were used to derive P3 from Fz, Cz, and Pz using a visual GO/NOGO protocol. Total power and across trial phase synchrony measures were calculated for δ and θ frequencies. DTI, 1.5 T, data formed the basis of quantitative fiber tracking in the left and right cingulate bundles and the genu and splenium of the corpus callosum. Fractional anisotropy and diffusivity (λL and λT) measures were calculated from each tract. RESULTS: NOGO P3 amplitude and δ power at Cz were smaller in alcoholics than controls. Lower δ total power was related to higher λT in the left and right cingulate bundles. GO P3 amplitude was lower and GO P3 latency was longer with advancing age, but none of the time-frequency analysis measures displayed significant age or diagnosis effects. CONCLUSIONS: The relation of δ total power at CZ with λT in the cingulate bundles provides correlational evidence for a functional role of fronto-parietal white matter tracts in inhibitory processing.
Grand mean averaged evoked responses from the time–voltage analysis from the GO (left panel) and NOGO (right panel) conditions. Data are presented for the Fz, Cz, and Pz sites for alcoholic (red) and control (blue) subjects
Total power plots or the NOGO condition, from control (left) and alcoholics (right) subjects from Fz, Cz, and Pz. EEG frequency is indicated on the y-axis and spans 0 to 50 Hz. Time is indicated on the x-axis and spans −100 to 800 ms. The visual stimulus occurred at 0 ms. Higher levels of total power in the 50 ms window around the P3 peak, is shown in hot colors, as indicated on the color scale located to the far right of each plot. Total power data are displayed on a dB scale, which represents relative change in power as defined by: \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ {\hbox{Total powe}}{{\hbox{r}}_{{t,f }}} = 10\; \times \;{\hbox{lo}}{{\hbox{g}}_{{10}}}\left( {\frac{{{\text{powe}}{{\text{r}}_{{t,f}}}}}{{{\hbox{mean}}\left( {{\hbox{powe}}{{\hbox{r}}_{{{\rm{ - 100 to 0ms, }}f}}}} \right)}}} \right) $$\end{document}.
