Objective Methods Results Significance We evaluated changes in cognitive domains after neurosurgical lesioning of cortical sites with significant high‐gamma power modulations (HGM) during a visual naming task, although these sites were found language‐negative on standard‐of‐care electrical stimulation mapping (ESM).In drug‐resistant epilepsy patients who underwent resection/ablation after stereo‐electroencephalography (SEEG), we computed reliable change indices (RCIs) from a battery of presurgical and 1‐year postsurgical neuropsychological assessments. We modeled RCIs as a function of lesioning even one HGM language site, number of HGM language sites lesioned, and the magnitude of naming‐related HGM. The analyses were adjusted for 1‐year seizure freedom, operated hemispheres, and the volumes of surgical lesions.In 37 patients with 4455 SEEG electrode contacts (1839 and 2616 contacts in right and left hemispheres, respectively), no ESM language sites were lesioned. Patients with lesioning of even one HGM language site showed significantly lower RCIs for Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT), working memory, and verbal learning immediate (VLI) scores. RCI declines with higher number of HGM language sites lesioned were seen in PPVT (slope [β] = −.10), working memory (β = −.10), VLI (β = −.14), and letter–word identification (LWI; β = −.14). No neuropsychological domains improved after lesioning of HGM language sites. Significant effects of the HGM magnitude at lesioned sites were seen on working memory (β = −.31), story memory immediate (β = −.27), verbal learning recognition (β = −.18), LWI (β = −.16), spelling (β = −.49), and passage comprehension (β = −.33). Because working memory was significantly affected in all three analyses, patients with maximal working memory decline were examined post hoc, revealing that all such patients had HGM naming sites lesioned in the posterior quadrants of either hemisphere.HGM language mapping should be used as an adjunct to ESM in clinical practice and may help counsel patients/families about postsurgical cognitive deficits.

Purpose: We demonstrate that different regions of the cerebral cortex have different diurnal rhythms of spontaneously occurring high-frequency oscillations (HFOs)., Methods: High-frequency oscillations were assessed with standard-of-care stereotactic electroencephalography in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. To ensure generalizability of our findings beyond patients with drug-resistant epilepsy, we excluded stereotactic electroencephalography electrode contacts lying within seizure-onset zones, epileptogenic lesions, having frequent epileptiform activity, and excessive artifact. For each patient, we evaluated twenty-four 5-minute stereotactic electroencephalography epochs, sampled hourly throughout the day, and obtained the HFO rate (number of HFOs/minute) in every stereotactic electroencephalography channel. We analyzed diurnal rhythms of the HFO rates with the cosinor model and clustered neuroanatomic parcels in a standard brain space based on similarity of their cosinor parameters. Finally, we compared overlap among resting-state networks, described in the neuroimaging literature, and chronobiological spatial clusters discovered by us., Results: We found five clusters that localized predominantly or exclusively to the left perisylvian, left perirolandic and left temporal, right perisylvian and right parietal, right frontal, and right insular-opercular cortices, respectively. These clusters were characterized by similarity of the HFO rates according to the time of the day. Also, these chronobiological spatial clusters preferentially overlapped with specific resting-state networks, particularly default mode network (clusters 1 and 3), frontoparietal network (cluster 1), visual network (cluster 1), and mesial temporal network (cluster 2)., Conclusions: This is probably the first human study to report clusters of cortical regions with similar diurnal rhythms of electrographic activity. Overlap with resting-state networks attests to their functional significance and has implications for understanding cognitive functions and epilepsy-related mortality., Competing Interests: The authors have no funding or conflicts of interest to disclose., (Copyright © 2024 by the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society.)
