The present study investigated the differences between the Panic Disorder (PD) patients groups' and healthy controls for the EEG alpha dynamics under the frontal cortex and reaction time during the oddball task.
The reaction time during the oddball paradigm concomitant to EEG alpha power was tested in nine PD patients and ten healthy controls before and after a computer simulation presentation.
The findings revealed a decrease in EEG alpha power in PD patients concerning the control group ( ≤ 0.0125). However, both groups demonstrated an increased cortical oscillation after the computer simulation, except for the Fp1 electrode during M3 moment in the experimental group. The experimental group has a fast reaction time compared to healthy individuals during the oddball task ( = 0.002).
We propose that the decrease in EEG alpha power in the PD patients may indicate an increase in processing related to an anxiogenic stimulus and interference of the anxiety state that compromises the inhibitory control. The reaction time task reveals cognitive symptoms in the experimental group, which may be related to the faster reactivity and high impulsivity to stimuli.
本研究调查了惊恐障碍(PD)患者组与健康对照组在额叶皮层脑电图α动力学以及Oddball任务中的反应时间方面的差异。
在计算机模拟呈现前后,对9名PD患者和10名健康对照者进行了与脑电图α功率相关的Oddball范式中的反应时间测试。
研究结果显示,与对照组相比,PD患者的脑电图α功率降低(≤0.0125)。然而,除实验组M3时刻的Fp1电极外,两组在计算机模拟后均表现出皮层振荡增加。在Oddball任务中,实验组的反应时间比健康个体快(=0.002)。
我们认为,PD患者脑电图α功率降低可能表明与焦虑源刺激相关的处理增加以及焦虑状态的干扰损害了抑制控制。反应时间任务揭示了实验组的认知症状,这可能与对刺激的更快反应性和高冲动性有关。
