摘要目的：研究阿尔茨海默病（AD）患者脑电时间序列的同步性。方法采集AD患者和正常对照者各8名的16导联脑电图（EEG）数据，分别对2组EEG的全频段、δ（0.5~4 Hz）、θ（4~8 Hz）、α（8~13 Hz）和β频段（13~30 Hz）信号进行同步似然分析，比较不同频段的平均同步似然系数值并进行统计学分析。结果 AD组全频段、θ频段和α频段的平均同步似然系数值均小于对照组，差异有统计学意义（P<0.05）；2组δ和β频段的平均同步似然系数值差异无统计学意义（P>0.05）。结论 AD组全频段、θ频段和α频段的EEG同步性降低，提示在θ和α频段内AD患者不同脑区的协同信息处理能力下降，为进一步研究AD患者大脑功能连接特性提供支持。

abstractsObjective To study the synchronization of electroencephalogram (EEG) in the patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Methods Sixteen-channel EEG was recorded under resting, eyes-closed condition in 8 AD patients and 8 control subjects. After data preprocessing, the synchronization likelihood was measured between pairs of EEG channels for the full band,δband (0.5-4 Hz),θband (4-8 Hz),αband (8-13 Hz) andβband (13-30 Hz) in the AD and control groups. Mean synchronization likelihood values of each frequency band were compared between the two groups. Results At the full band,θband andαband, the mean synchronization likelihood values of the AD group were lower than that of the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the two groups at theδandβbands (P>0.05). Conclusions The EEG synchronization of AD patients decreases at the full band,θandαbands, suggesting that collaborative information processing ability atθandαbands reduces between different brain regions in the AD patients. The research provides support for further study of the brain functional connectivity characteristics in the AD patients.
