Decoupling of sleep-dependent cortical and hippocampal interactions in a neurodevelopmental model of schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT: Rhythmic neural network activity patterns are defining features of sleep, but interdependencies between limbic and cortical oscillations at different frequencies and their functional roles have not been fully resolved. This is particularly important given evidence linking abnormal sleep architecture and memory consolidation in psychiatric diseases. Using EEG, local field potential (LFP), and unit recordings in rats, we show that anteroposterior propagation of neocortical slow-waves coordinates timing of hippocampal ripples and prefrontal cortical spindles during NREM sleep. This coordination is selectively disrupted in a rat neurodevelopmental model of schizophrenia: fragmented NREM sleep and impaired slow-wave propagation in the model culminate in deficient ripple-spindle coordination and disrupted spike timing, potentially as a consequence of interneuronal abnormalities reflected by reduced parvalbumin expression. These data further define the interrelationships among slow-wave, spindle, and ripple events, indicating that sleep disturbances may be associated with state-dependent decoupling of hippocampal and cortical circuits in psychiatric diseases.

Project description:Risk for schizophrenia peaks during early adulthood, a critical period for brain development. Although several influential theoretical models have been proposed for the developmental relationship between brain pathology and clinical onset, to our knowledge, no study has directly evaluated the predictions of these models for schizophrenia developmental genetic effects on brain structure. To address this question, we introduce a framework to estimate the effects of schizophrenia genetic variation on brain structure phenotypes across the life span. Five-hundred and six participants, including 30 schizophrenia probands, 200 of their relatives (aged 12-85 years) from 32 families with at least two first-degree schizophrenia relatives, and 276 unrelated controls, underwent MRI to assess regional cortical thickness (CT) and cortical surface area (CSA). Genetic variance decomposition analyses were conducted to distinguish among schizophrenia neurogenetic effects that are most salient before schizophrenia peak age-of-risk (i.e., early neurodevelopmental effects), after peak age-of-risk (late neurodevelopmental effects), and during the later plateau of age-of-risk (neurodegenerative effects). Genetic correlations between schizophrenia and cortical traits suggested early neurodevelopmental effects for frontal and insula CSA, late neurodevelopmental effects for overall CSA and frontal, parietal, and occipital CSA, and possible neurodegenerative effects for temporal CT and parietal CSA. Importantly, these developmental neurogenetic effects were specific to schizophrenia and not found with nonpsychotic depression. Our findings highlight the potentially dynamic nature of schizophrenia genetic effects across the lifespan and emphasize the utility of integrating neuroimaging methods with developmental behavior genetic approaches to elucidate the nature and timing of risk-conferring processes in psychopathology.
