1 Characterization of Sleep Spindles Simon Freedman Illinois Institute of Technology and W.M. Keck Center for Neurophysics, UCLA (Dated: September 5, 2011) Local Field Potential (LFP) measurements from sleep data is important in Neurological studies because experiments have shown a correlation between sleep and memory consolidation [1]. The most prominent of the coherent signals within LFP sleep data are spindles, which occur most often when a person is dozing off, durring Stage 2 of Non-Rapid-Eye-Movement (NREM) sleep [2]. Determining the specific properties of these spindles is essential to developing accurate biological and physical models to explain the spindles presence within the LFP. This paper details a method to computationally identify sleep spindles, characterizes some of their physical properties, and highlights some significant relationships between these physical properties. I. INTRODUCTION The Keck Center for Neurophysics collects data from electrodes that are implanted in precise locations on the hippocampal and neocortex regions of rats brains. Each electrode is approximately 10µm in diameter, and is part of a group of four called a tetrode. There are 22 tetrodes on the implant. The electrodes pickup voltages that are flowing across the brian due to the mass communication of the neurons within the brain, and relay this information back to a computer in the lab. This signal is referred to as the Local Field Potential (LFP). The rat is given a task, so that the lab can measure the rat s ability to learn by measuring its ability to perform the task. The data collected from the rats is labeled VR (short for Virtual Reality, because the task takes place in a virtual environment) if it corresponds to when the rat was performing its task, and baseline if it is collected at any other time. The baseline data therefore contains data from when the rat is sleeping and when the rat is awake, but not performing the VR task. This sleep data is important because of the correlation between sleep and memory consolidation. Memory consolidation is a process wherein the brain transfers certain new memories that it deems important to a more permanent storage location. The location of formation of newly created memories is thought to be the hippocampus ; however, where the memories are stored more permanently is les clear [4]. Although the mechanism for this transferral is not well understood, experiments have shown that this storage mechanism has a positive correlation with sleep. [1] Specifically, this positive correlation has been found to occur in hippocampus-dependent spatial-memory [1]. Spatial learning can include remembering a place on the floor, as well as following a specific path. This means that experimentally, if a person is given a spatial task, and in one situation is restrained from sleep and asked to perform the task again the next day (and somatic symptoms of sleep deprivation are controlled for), and in another situation is allowed to sleep, he is more likely to perform better on the task in the situation where he was allowed to sleep than in the situation where he was deprived from sleep. Furthermore, experimental data in various animals shows that the communication between neurons in the hippocampus that takes place while an animal is participating in a spatial task is replayed in its subsequent slow-wave-sleep. One of the goals of the Mehta lab is to develop a physical and biological model for the process of spatial memory consolidation. Since, empirically, it is seen that sleep contributes to the hippocampus-dependent spatial-memory, it is important to consider sleep data when developing a model. II. SLEEP SPINDLES The lower frequency signal that is contained withing the LFP of a rat does contain recurring events of coherent oscillations in specific frequency bands, even in sleep. Determining the physical characteristics of these oscillations can help determine what in the brain is causing these oscillations, and therefore is integral in developing a suitable model for whatever process is causing the coherent oscillation. The easiest to spot of these oscillations are the sleep spindles. They are recorded as occuring in a 6 20Hz frequency band and have amplitudes that are on the order of 1 2mV. The goal of this project was to develop a suitable method of computationally locating these spindles, given an LFP sampled at 36kHz as well as determine the shape and physical characteristics of these spindles. [3] Most observations seem to conclude that there are actually two different types of sleep spindles, and it is unclear whether both are correlated with memory consolidation, or just one of them. The first is the High Voltage Spindle (HVS), which is reported to have lower frequencies (7 8Hz) and higher amplitude. The second type is the Low Voltage Spindle, which have higher frequencies (10 20Hz), lower amplitudes, and occur primarily alongside a K-Complex [3]. K-complexes are events that can occur spontaneously in the second stage of NREM sleep [5], and appear to be a transition from an up-state to a down-state [3]; however, due to their many different shapes, they still remain precisely undefined [5]. A
2 2 second goal of this project was to examine the difference between these two types of spindles and see how they re characteristic propreties compare. power in the Spindle filtered LFP of window i was greater than 80% of the average power in the K-Complex filtered LFP for window i, then window i was deemed ineligible to contain either a Low Voltage Spindle or a K-complex. III. METHODS: SPINDLE AND K-COMPLEX DETECTION IV. EXPERIMENT The following spindle-detection algorithm was adapted from Johnson et. al, 2010 [3]. The first step in locating the spindles was to filter the data in the 6 20Hz band. In order to make the data easier to handle computationally, the 36kHz sampled data was initially downsampled to 800Hz (which is well above the spindle band). Two filtered signals were constructed. The first signal was the LFP filtered in the spindle band 6 20Hz. The second signal was the LFP filtered in the K-Complex band, which was 2 6Hz. The reason for the LFP filtered in the K-Complex band was so that one could distinguish between HVSs and LVSs. All filtering was done with MATLAB s 4 th order Butterworth filter. The next step was to find those pieces of the LFP that were more prominent in these two signals. In order to find the HVSs, the spindle band filtered LFP was divided into 250ms windows, with a spacing of 25ms between each window. The variance of the signal was calculated in each window. This data was referred to as the standard deviation signal. Each index within the standard deviation signal correponded to one 250ms window from the original LFP. Those indices that had a variance greater than two standard deviations above the mean variance, corresponded to windows that contained High Voltage Spindles. Locating the Low Voltage Spindles was performed similarly, with one distinction. In each window, instead of the variance, the average absolute amplitude was calculated, and those windows with higher than average amplitude of the LFP corresponded to the LVS windows. In order to find K-complexes, the range of each window was determined by subtracting the minimum amplitude in that window from the maximum amplitude, and a corresponding range signal was constructed. The windows with a range that was greater than two standard deviations above the average of the range signal were determined to be K-Complex windows. The second step taken to determine which windows corresponded to High Voltage Spindles, was to make sure that those windows with high variance also had significantly higher power in the Spindle band than in the K- Complex band. This was done by evaluating the average amplitude within each high-variance window in both the Spindle filtered signal and in the K-Complex filtered signal. If the average amplitude of the K-Complex filtered LFP in window i was greater than 80% of the average power of the Spindle filtered LFP in window i, window i was disqualified from being a HVS window. A similar technique was used to ensure that all Low Voltage Spindles were near a K-complex. If the average This algorithm was run on the baseline data of two different rats, Ozzy and Shamu and comprises three data sets, labeled Ozzy, Shamu I, and Shamu II. The data analyzed from Ozzy was from one hour of recording off of one tetrode, while the data collected from Shamu represents two hours of baseline data, on two different days. For one of these hours (Shamu I), the LFP data was taken from one tetrode on each of 22 different electrodes. For the other hour (Shamu II), the LFP data was taken from one electrode on each of four different tetrodes. The data was grouped according to the hour of data to which it corresponds. The algorithm was able to detect High Voltage Spindles reasonably well, in the sense that what this algorithm determined to be High Voltage Spindles, visually corresponded to what are called High Voltage Spindles, and across the data had similar physical characteristics. Because the thresholds for High Voltage Spindles were all subjective to the data (the thresholds for HVS windows was set to two standard deviations above the average window variance, so that only 5% of the LFP could possibly be recognized as HVSs), it is unclear whether these are the only HVSs in the LFP. The algorithm did claim to locate windows within the LFP containing K- Complexes and Low Voltage Spindles; however, there were not enough distinct features of these signals to measure, or to label them as representing a coherent signal. Therefore, only the HVS data is analyzed. V. SPINDLE SHAPE An example of an HVS can be seen in figure 1. This spindle is composed of 16 cycles, where a cycle refers to the LFP reaching a maximum voltage and then returning to a minimum voltage. One can immediately notice FIG. 1: Single High Voltage Spindle. Located using algorithm described in Section II. Confirmed as a spindle visually.
3 3 that these oscillations are assymetric. Each cycle of the spindle seems to rise much faster than it falls. One would therefore expect that the derivative of the HVS would be slightly out of phase with the HVS, and that it would peak during the rise of the HVS, before the HVS itself peaks. In plotting consecutive cycles of the spindle on top of each other (as is done in figure 3) it is therefore advantageous to trigger the signal based on where the derivative peaks (as seen in figure 2). Experimentally, there appears to be less jitter on the center cycle when the cycle is triggered at the derivative peak than when it is triggered at the peak of the LFP during the HVS. The peak of this derivative is used to measure the width of each spindle cycle. FIG. 4: Detailed properties of Spindles staying approximately 0.10 ± 0.01sec. The amplitude and sharp slope of each cycle was somewhat consistent between the two Shamu data sets, staying approximately 0.34mV and 11 13mV/sec respectively; however, these characteristics were not consistent between rats, as the data in Table I shows for the Ozzy data set. VII. RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SPINDLE PROPERTIES FIG. 2: Derivative of the Spindle plotted on top of the Spindle. Peaks of both the LFP and it s derivative are marked. FIG. 3: All spindle cycles from the spindle in figure 1 superimposed. Time t = 0 corresponds to the time during the cycle at which the derivative had its peak. VI. SPINDLE PROPERTIES The spindle cycle properties that were measured over each data set are described in Figure 4. These properties were measured for each cycle in the interval, and then averaged for each spindle. These averages were then histogramed, as seen in Appendix A, figures 5, 6, and 7. The averages of these histograms, and their standard deviations, are summarized in Appendix A, Table I. Thus, between all three data sets, the average interspindle-cycle-interval was the most consistent measure, A separate analysis was done by analyzing the cross correlation between the different spindle properties described, and graphically viewing the relationship by generating a scatter plot comparing the various properties. This data was not averaged over each spindle, rather every cycle had its own data point. The strongest correlations occured between the interspindle-cycle-interval and the cycle trough depth (see Appendix A, Figures 9(a), 9(b), and 9(c)). (The trough depth was defined as the minimum voltage that follows the peaks of a cycle and precedes the peak of the following cycle.) Similarly there was a strong relationship between the inter-spindle-cycle-interval and the peak-totrough amplitude (figures 8(a), 8(b), and 8(c)). The correlation coefficients for each of these data sets can be seen in Appendix A, Table II. These correlations suggest that the wider a spindle cycle, the larger its amplitude and the deeper its trough. This is an indication that whatever biological process is responsible for producing spindles is more complicated than a simple harmonic oscillator, where the amplitude and frequency of the oscillations are independent. Suitable models for this behavior are still being researched. VIII. CONCLUSION The three-fold difference in spindle cycle amplitude between different rats that is seen in Appendix A, Table I, as well as the two-fold difference in slope, are preliminary evidence that the characteristics of spindles are dependent on the rat that they are placed in. This could be a result of what parts of the brain the electrodes are placed on, or how deep they are, or even some biological differ-
4 4 ence between the different rats. Thus, it is important to have a computational method of spindle detection that takes the variability of spindle amplitude and slope into account (such as the method described, which uses a subjective voltage threshold to detect the spindles). Interestingly the degree of correlation between the amplitude of a spindle cycle, and its width were similar across data sets, and these preliminary results indicate that this is a relationship worth examining in more data sets. That the algorithm described is able to detect the times at which spindles occur is in itself of interest to the Keck Center. The location of the spindles can be indicative of different phases of sleep. The lab can quantify a rats performance in a virtual reality task, and analyze how this correlates with its sleep spindles their concentration, their characteristics in order to teste the relationship between spindles and memory consolidation, as well as the relationship between different phases of sleep and memory consolidation.
