Eksperymentalny: Amygdala-prefrontal in Fear Extinction
Participants will undergo direct intracranial electrical stimulation and complete a Pavlovian fear conditioning and extinction task while neural activity is recorded through clinically implanted stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrodes.
Electrical stimulation, including single-pulse and/or high-frequency stimulation, will be delivered through the intracranial electrodes to investigate amygdala-prefrontal circuit dynamics.
Participants may also receive theta-burst stimulation of the amygdala during extinction learning.
|
During a resting state and extinction learning phase, participants will receive electrical stimulation (single-pulse and/or high-frequency stimulation) through the intracranial electrodes while recording local field potentials from the neural networks.
Direct electrical stimulation will be accomplished using FDA-approved equipment and stimulation protocols that are consistent with those used routinely for clinical purposes.
Participants will be involved in a Pavlovian fear conditioning/extinction experiment while recording local field potential signals from the neural networks.
During the experiment, neutral stimuli will be paired with an aversive but not painful electric shock (via the surface skin of the hand/foot) or screeching sound.

Broadband high-frequency power (70-170 Hz) in amygdala-prefrontal circuits
Ramy czasowe: During research sessions, up to 2 hours per day for up to 4 days during the participant's hospital stay.
|
Broadband high-frequency power (70-170 Hz) will be quantified from local field potentials recorded through clinically implanted stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrodes in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex.
Broadband high-frequency power will be assessed during fear processing and during intracranial electrical stimulation to characterize local neural activity within amygdala-prefrontal circuits.
For stimulation recordings, stimulation artifacts will be removed using appropriate artifact-removal methods, for example, MPARRM (matching pursuit-based artifact reconstruction and removal method) for single-pulse stimulation and LIBRA (linear baseline-integrated removal of artifacts) for high-frequency stimulation.
|
During research sessions, up to 2 hours per day for up to 4 days during the participant's hospital stay.
|
|
Oscillatory power at the stimulation frequency during intracranial electrical stimulation
Ramy czasowe: During research sessions, up to 2 hours per day for up to 4 days during the participant's hospital stay.
|
Oscillatory power at the stimulation frequency will be quantified from local field potentials recorded through clinically implanted stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrodes in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex.
Power at the stimulation frequency will be assessed during intracranial electrical stimulation to quantify stimulation-induced oscillatory entrainment within amygdala-prefrontal circuits.
For theta-burst stimulation, theta-band activity (4-8 Hz) will be assessed.
|
During research sessions, up to 2 hours per day for up to 4 days during the participant's hospital stay.

Amplitude of cortico-cortical evoked potentials in amygdala-prefrontal circuits
Ramy czasowe: During research sessions, up to 2 hours per day for up to 4 days during the participant's hospital stay.
|
Cortico-cortical evoked potential (CCEP) amplitude will be quantified from local field potentials recorded through clinically implanted stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrodes following single-pulse intracranial electrical stimulation.
CCEP amplitude will be used to assess effective connectivity between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex.

Theta/gamma band power in amygdala-prefrontal circuits
Ramy czasowe: During research sessions, up to 2 hours per day for up to 4 days during the participant's hospital stay.
|
Theta (4-8 Hz) and gamma (30-50 Hz) band power will be quantified from local field potentials recorded through clinically implanted stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrodes in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex.
Theta/gamma-band power will be assessed during fear conditioning and extinction to characterize oscillatory neural activity within amygdala-prefrontal circuits.

Cross-frequency coupling in amygdala-prefrontal circuits
Ramy czasowe: During research sessions, up to 2 hours per day for up to 4 days during the participant's hospital stay.
|
Cross-frequency coupling will be quantified from local field potentials recorded through clinically implanted stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) electrodes in the amygdala and prefrontal cortex.
Coupling between neural activity across different frequency bands, including phase-amplitude coupling between lower-frequency oscillations and high-frequency activity, will be assessed during resting state and fear processing to characterize cross-frequency neural interactions within amygdala-prefrontal circuits.
