Identification of neurophysiological signatures of bipolar disorder by resting-state EEG microstate analysis

Background: This investigation probed the neurophysiological disparities between patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and healthy controls (HC) utilizing resting-state electroencephalography (rs-EEG) microstate (MS) analysis. The study, conducted at Keio University Hospital from 2017 to 2023, sought...

description Background: This investigation probed the neurophysiological disparities between patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and healthy controls (HC) utilizing resting-state electroencephalography (rs-EEG) microstate (MS) analysis. The study, conducted at Keio University Hospital from 2017 to 2023, sought to differentiate BD from HC for early detection. Methods: The study included 36 BD (average age: 48.3 years) and 36 age- and sex-matched HC (average age: 47.8 years). Participants underwent a 5-min rs-EEG recording with eyes closed. MS analysis focused on the duration, occurrence, and coverage of MS (A − E) transitions. Comparisons were executed using Mann-Whitney U tests, and a logistic regression model distinguished the groups based on these MS indices. Results: Patients with BD exhibited a shorter MS-D duration (p < 0.001) and longer MS-C (p = 0.027) and MS-E (p = 0.020) durations compared to HC. The occurrence and coverage of MS-D were significantly lower in BD (p < 0.001 for both). The logistic regression model accurately classified 84.7% of cases (χ2(3)=42.03, p < 0.001). Limitations: Limitations include the potential influence of medication on MS dynamics and the cross-sectional design, which prevents causal conclusions. Longitudinal studies are required to comprehend the relationship between MS alterations and BD symptoms. Conclusion: Decreased MS-D indices, along with increased MS-C and MS-E indices in BD, imply dysfunction in the frontoparietal network and impairments in the default mode and salience networks. The altered temporal dynamics of rs-EEG MSs provide a unique neurophysiological profile of BD, suggesting that MS indices could potentially serve as neurophysiological markers for BD diagnosis.
