Local signal variability and functional connectivity: Sensitive measures of the excitation-inhibition ratio?
Cognitive Neurodynamics 2024 April
UNLABELLED: A novel network version of permutation entropy, the inverted joint permutation entropy (JPEinv ), holds potential as non-invasive biomarker of abnormal excitation-inhibition (E-I) ratio in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this computational modelling study, we test the hypotheses that this metric, and related measures of signal variability and functional connectivity, are sensitive to altered E-I ratios. The E-I ratio in each neural mass of a whole-brain computational network model was systematically varied. We evaluated whether JPEinv , local signal variability (by permutation entropy) and functional connectivity (by weighted symbolic mutual information (wsMI)) were related to E-I ratio, on whole-brain and regional level. The hub disruption index can identify regions primarily affected in terms of functional connectivity strength (or: degree) by the altered E-I ratios. Analyses were performed for a range of coupling strengths, filter and time-delay settings. On whole-brain level, higher E-I ratios were associated with higher functional connectivity (by JPEinv and wsMI) and lower local signal variability. These relationships were nonlinear and depended on the coupling strength, filter and time-delay settings. On regional level, hub-like regions showed a selective decrease in functional degree (by JPEinv and wsMI) upon a lower E-I ratio, and non-hub-like regions showed a selective increase in degree upon a higher E-I ratio. These results suggest that abnormal functional connectivity and signal variability, as previously reported in patients across the AD continuum, can inform us about altered E-I ratios.
