概要

We present in vivo electrophysiological recording of the local field potential (LFP) in bilateral secondary motor cortex (M2) of mice, which can be applied to evaluate hemisphere lateralization. The study revealed altered levels of synchronization between the left and right M2 in APP/PS1 mice compared to WT controls.

Abstract

This article demonstrates complete, detailed procedures for both in vivo bilateral recording and analysis of local field potential (LFP) in the cortical areas of mice, which are useful for evaluating possible laterality deficits, as well as for assessing brain connectivity and coupling of neural network activities in rodents. The pathological mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD), a common neurodegenerative disease, remain largely unknown. Altered brain laterality has been demonstrated in aging people, but whether or not abnormal lateralization is one of the early signs of AD has not been determined. To investigate this, we recorded bilateral LFPs in 3-5-month-old AD model mice, APP/PS1, together with littermate wild type (WT) controls. The LFPs of the left and right secondary motor cortex (M2), specifically in the gamma band, were more synchronized in APP/PS1 mice than in WT controls, suggesting a declined hemispheric asymmetry of bilateral M2 in this AD mouse model. Notably, the recording and data analysis processes are flexible and easy to carry out, and can also be applied to other brain pathways when conducting experiments that focus on neuronal circuits.

Introduction

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia¹^,². Extracellular beta amyloid protein (β-amyloid protein, Aβ) deposition and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) are the main pathological features of AD³^,⁴^,⁵, but the mechanisms underlying AD pathogenesis remain largely unclear. Cerebral cortex, a key structure in cognition and memory, is impaired in AD⁶, and motor deficits such as slow walking, difficulty navigating the environment and gait disturbances occur with advancing age⁷. Aβ deposition and neurofibrillary tangles have also been observed in the premotor cortex (PMC) and supplementary motor area (SMA) in AD patients⁸ and cognitively impacted older adults⁹, indicating the involvement of an impaired motor system in AD pathogenesis.

The brain is formed by two distinct cerebral hemispheres that are divided by a longitudinal fissure. A healthy brain exhibits both structural and functional asymmetries¹⁰, which is called "lateralization", allowing the brain to efficiently deal with multiple tasks and activities. Aging results in a deterioration in cognition and locomotion, together with a reduction in brain laterality¹¹^,¹². The motor abilities of the left hemisphere are readily apparent in the healthy brain¹³, but in the AD brain aberrant laterality occurs as a consequence of the failure of left hemisphere dominance associated with left cortical atrophy¹⁴^,¹⁵^,¹⁶. Therefore, an understanding of a possible alteration of brain lateralization in AD pathogenesis and the underlying mechanisms may provide new insights into AD pathogenesis and lead to identification of potential biomarkers for treatment.

Electrophysiological measurement is a sensitive and effective method of evaluating changes in the neuronal activities of animals. The reduction of hemispheric asymmetry in elders (HAROLD)¹⁷ has been documented by electrophysiological research with synchronized interhemispheric transfer time, which shows weakening or absence of hemispheric asymmetry to monaurally presented speech stimuli in the elderly¹⁸. Utilizing APP/PS1, one of the most commonly used AD mouse models¹⁹^,²⁰^,²¹^,²², in combination with in vivo bilateral extracellular recording of LFPs in both left and right M2, we evaluated possible laterality deficits in AD. In addition, with simple parameter settings, the built-in function of data analysis software (see the Table of Materials) provides a faster and more straightforward way to analyze the synchronization of electrical signals than mathematically complex programming language, which is friendly to beginners with in vivo electrophysiology.

Protocol

All animals were paired-housed under standard conditions (12 h light/dark, constant temperature environment, free access to food and water) according to the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology Laboratory Animals Guidelines and experiments were approved by the local ethical committee of Guangzhou University. This is a non-survival procedure.

NOTE: For data shown in the representative results, APP/PS1 (B6C3-Tg (APPswe, PSEN1dE9) 85Dbo/J) double-transgenic mice and littermate wild-type (WT) controls at 3-5 months of age, were used for recordings (n = 10, per group).

1. Animal anesthesia and surgery

Weigh and anesthetize the mouse by your approved anesthesia regimen from your local animal care committee.
Perform a tail or toe pinch with forceps to confirm deep anesthesia prior to surgery.
Position the mouse in a stereotaxic apparatus and fix its head.
Apply eye ointment on both eyes to keep moist. Follow your local animal care guidelines regarding pre- and postoperative analgesia.
Shave the hair using surgical clippers. Make a small incision (12-15 mm) in the middle of the exposed surgical area with scissors. Using forceps, gently pull the scalp away from the midline.
Separate the skin gently and remove residual tissue. Clean the skull using hydrogen peroxide-coated cotton buds.
Drill two small holes of radii 1.0-1.5 mm on both left and right sides of the skull to allow insertion of the recording microelectrodes into the M2 regions under a stereomicroscope (Figure 1A).
NOTE: Stereotaxic locations of bilateral M2: 1.94 mm anterior to the bregma, 1.0 mm lateral to the midline, and 0.8-1.1 mm ventral to the dura.
Remove the dura mater carefully with a tungsten needle.
Pull glass borosilicate micropipettes (outer diameter: 1.0 mm) as recording microelectrodes with resistance of 1-2 MΩ.
Insert two separate recording microelectrodes filled with 0.5 M NaCl into the holes using mechanical micromanipulators (at 60°, Figure 1B).

2. LFP recordings in bilateral M2 of mice

Lower the left and right glass electrodes slowly into appropriate coordinates of bilateral M2 (Figure 1C).
For quality control, test the resistance of each electrode using the differential amplifier before capturing LFPs.
Set the recording process at 0.1 Hz high-pass and 1,000 Hz low-pass with 1,000x amplification.
Collect digitized raw LFP data of at least 60 s spontaneous activities in stable state, with mice breathing evenly at a respiratory rate of 2 breaths per second under anesthesia.
After recording, slowly raise the electrodes out of the brain, then euthanize the mice by fast cervical dislocation.
Save the data and analyze offline.

3. Cross-correlation analysis

Click Analysis – Waveform correlation in the analysis software and import the data.
Parameter settings
1. Define one waveform channel signal as the first channel and the other as the reference. Set width as 2 and offset as 1 (Figure 2A).
2. Set the duration of both LFPs for 100 s by selecting the start time and end time. Press the Process button to perform cross-correlation analysis (Figure 2B).
  NOTE: Simultaneous bilateral signals with such durations would be long enough to show neuronal spontaneous activities, thereby revealing the basic properties of synchronization.
Click File – Export As, then save the cross-correlation results corresponding to the resulting pop-up chart in .txt format.
Open the .txt file (Figure 2C), remove the correlation values at time lags ranged 0 ± 0.01 s (since two continuous gamma waves have at least 0.01 s interval), then average the rest of the cross-correlation data in the negative time lag part or average the rest of the cross-correlation data in the positive time lag part.

4. Coherence analysis

Import and run the data in the analysis software.
Assign the two LFP signals to be the first and second waveform channels separately. Then set the block size value (Figure 3A).
NOTE: Block size means the number of data points used in the FFT. The larger the block size, the better the frequency resolution. Here we recommend setting it as 4096.
Move the dotted lines manually to ensure the time accuracy for signals in both channels are being set as the same period (Figure 3B). Press the Add Area button to load the area and perform coherence analysis.
Click File – Save As to save the coherence results corresponding to the resulting pop-up chart in .txt format (Figure 3B).

Representative Results

To see whether early AD pathology impairs the capacity of hemisphere lateralization, we conducted bilateral extracellular LFP recordings in the left and right M2 of APP/PS1 mice and WT controls (aged 3-5 months), and analyzed the cross-correlation of these left and right LFPs. In WT mice, the results demonstrated that the mean correlation between left and right LFPs at positive time lags differed significantly from that at negative time lags, implicating the existence of hemispheric asymmetries in M2 areas of WT controls (Figure 4C; WT-positive, 0.08161 ± 0.01246; WT-negative, 0.0206 ± 0.01218; p = 4.74531E-4 < 0.001 by a two sample t-test). In comparison, the left and right LFPs of APP/PS1 mice showed higher synchronized in time domain, suggesting a reduction of asymmetry between the left and right M2 (Figure 4C; APP/PS1-positive, 0.13336 ± 0.0105 APP/PS1-negative, 0.12635 ± 0.01066; p = 0.64157 > 0.05 by a two sample t-test).

We then filtered gamma oscillations from the LFPs (Figure 5A) and performed a coherence analysis as described in the protocol to measure the similarity of electrical signals in the gamma frequency range. The result showed that the gamma coherence between left and right M2 in APP/PS1 was significantly higher than that in WT mice (Figure 5B,C; WT, 0.13267 ± 0.00598; APP/PS1, 0.17078 ± 0.0072; p = 0.00550 < 0.01 by two sample t-test), indicating a higher synchronization, and consequently reduced lateralization, between left and right M2 in APP/PS1 mice.

Discussion

We report here the procedure for in vivo bilateral extracellular recording, along with analyzing the synchronization of dual-region LFP signals, which is both flexible and easy to conduct for estimating brain hemisphere lateralization, as well as the connectivity, directionality or coupling between neural activities of two brain areas. This can be widely used to reveal not only group-neuronal activities, but also some basic properties of interregional electrophysiology, especially for labs which are interested in screening oscillatory activities or labs which do not have systems for multi-channel recording in behaving animals²³.

In general, a series of techniques are available to monitor brain activities, including electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Such methods have relatively lower temporal and spatial resolution in comparison with our presented recordings. For example, EEG is one of the oldest and most commercially available instruments for investigating extracellular activity of the brain. Although there are studies using "high density" EEG in freely moving rodents to improve the insufficient spatial resolution²⁴^,²⁵^,²⁶, the skull always generates more noise and thus reduces the signal-to-noise ratio of cortical gamma oscillation, especially for small-sized mice. Our method with glass microelectrodes would be a good choice to prevent researchers from that "distorting noise" since microelectrodes could be inserted into the brain structure directly. Moreover, the recording glass pipettes used here are inexpensive, highly maneuverable, and can be applied to explore deeper brain areas not limited to cortical areas.

Close attention should be paid to the following. First, it is mandatory to carry out anesthesia strictly based on the body weight, and to test the depth of anesthesia hourly. This is because the physiological state of the mouse plays an important role in the quality of the LFP recorded, and any movement of the referencing sites caused by, e.g., sudden awakening of the animal, could generate background electrophysiological noise that would depreciate the availability. Second, because microelectrode resistance varies with the shape and diameter of the glass pipette tip, the heating must be carefully adjusted within the range for appropriate impedance when pulling microelectrodes. As described earlier in the protocol section, we found that the electrodes with impedance ranging from 1 to 2 MΩ captured high qualitied cortical oscillatory activities.

Gamma oscillations reflect the neuronal synchronization of different brain regions when animals are engaged in learning or stimulation-cued tasks²⁷^,²⁸^,²⁹. The synchronization of gamma-band modulates excitation rapidly to activate postsynaptic neurons effectively³⁰. It is worth noting that although the gamma oscillation was defined in the present study as oscillatory activity with frequency in the range 25-80 Hz as shown by several groups²⁸^,³¹^,³², there are studies that describe 30-70 Hz as low gamma and 70-100 Hz as high gamma³³^,³⁴^,³⁵. Regardless of the definition, the principles for data analysis remain similar. In signal processing, cross-correlation is used for determining the time delay between electrical signals of two brain regions³⁶. For signals under stimulation conditions, the durations selected for cross-correlation analysis could be shorter³⁷.

Though there are limitations in the use of LFP recording for the evaluation of neural activities; for instance, it can neither distinguish between pre- and post-synaptic activities nor detect resting membrane potentials of the neurons recorded²³, the approach introduced here serves as a useful tool for the measurement of activities of a group of neurons from different brain areas of mice, allowing the investigation of brain-area functional connectivity and the coupling of electrical signals before and after drug infusion.

Several explanations have been proposed for the emergence of hemispheric asymmetry, e.g., asymmetry enhances an individual's ability to perform two different tasks at the same time³⁸; or asymmetry increases neural capacity, avoiding unnecessary duplication of neural networks³⁹; or two different cognitive processes may be more readily performed simultaneously if they are lateralized to different hemispheres⁴⁰. Hemisphere lateralization is assumed to provide cognitive advantages, but it changes with age¹²^,⁴¹. Neuroimaging studies have shown consistently that prefrontal activation tends to be less lateralized in older adults than in younger individuals⁴²^,⁴³. AD patients with early unilateral or bilateral pathological changes develop brain abnormalities, including lateralization associating with forgetfulness, slow responses to sound stimulation and cognitive decline¹¹^,⁴⁴. We observed, in the present study, a disrupted level of hemisphere lateralization between left and right M2 of APP/PS1 mice at 3-5 months, which is the period when such mice do not aggregate apparent deposition of beta amyloid plaques⁴⁵^,⁴⁶, implying that toxicity induced by soluble beta amyloid oligomers may contribute, at least in part, to aberrant cortical hemisphere lateralization, which could accelerate brain deterioration in AD pathogenesis¹⁶^,⁴⁷.
