Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Subacute and long-term electrocorticographic (ECoG) changes in ambulatory patients with depth and cortical strip electrodes were evaluated in order to determine the length of the implant effect. METHODS: ECoG records were assessed in patients with medically intractable epilepsy who had depth and/or strip leads implanted in order to be treated with brain-responsive stimulation. Changes in total spectral power, band-limited spectral power, and spike rate were assessed. RESULTS: 121 patients participating in trials of the RNS® System had a total of 93994 ECoG records analyzed. Significant changes in total spectral power occurred from the first to second months after implantation, involving 55% of all ECoG channels (68% of strip and 47% of depth lead channels). Significant, but less pronounced, changes continued over the 2nd to 5th post-implant months, after which total power became more stable. Similar patterns of changes were observed within frequency bands and spike rate. CONCLUSIONS: ECoG spectral power and spike rates are not stable in the first 5 months after implantation, presumably due to neurophysiological and electrode-tissue interface changes. SIGNIFICANCE: ECoG data collected in the first 5 months after implantation of intracranial electrodes may not be fully representative of chronic cortical electrophysiology.
