Task-residual effective connectivity of motor network in transient ischemic attack

Abstract Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a temporary episode of neurological dysfunction that results from focal brain ischemia. Although TIA symptoms are quickly resolved, patients with TIA have a high risk of stroke and persistent impairments in multiple domains of cognitive and motor functions...

description Abstract Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a temporary episode of neurological dysfunction that results from focal brain ischemia. Although TIA symptoms are quickly resolved, patients with TIA have a high risk of stroke and persistent impairments in multiple domains of cognitive and motor functions. In this study, using spectral dynamic causal modeling, we investigate the changes in task-residual effective connectivity of patients with TIA during fist-closing movements. 28 healthy participants and 15 age-matched patients with TIA undergo functional magnetic resonance imaging at 7T. Here we show that during visually cued motor movement, patients with TIA have significantly higher effective connectivity toward the ipsilateral primary motor cortex and lower connectivity to the supplementary motor area than healthy controls. Our results imply that TIA patients have aberrant connections among motor regions, and these changes may reflect the decreased efficiency of primary motor function and disrupted control of voluntary movement in patients with TIA.
