Recent work has shown that people with HIV (PWH) exhibit deficits in cognitive control and altered brain responses in the underlying cortical networks, and that regular cannabis use has a normalizing effect on these neural responses. However, the impact of regular cannabis use on the neural oscillatory dynamics underlying motor control deficits in PWH remains less understood. Herein, 102 control cannabis users, control nonusers, PWH who regularly use cannabis, and PWH who do not use cannabis performed a motor control task with and without interference during high-density magnetoencephalography. The resulting neural dynamics were examined using whole-brain, voxel-wise statistical analyses that examined the impact of HIV status, cannabis use, and their interaction on the neural oscillations serving motor control, spontaneous activity during the baseline period, and neurobehavioral relationships. Our key findings revealed cannabis-by-HIV group interactions in oscillatory gamma within the prefrontal cortices, higher-order motor areas, and other regions, with the non-using PWH typically exhibiting the strongest gamma interference responses. Cannabis-by-HIV interactions were also found for oscillatory beta in the dorsal premotor cortex. Spontaneous gamma during the baseline was elevated in PWH and suppressed in cannabis users in all regions exhibiting interaction effects and the left primary motor cortex, with spontaneous levels being correlated with behavioral performance. These findings suggest that regular cannabis use has a normalizing effect on the neural oscillations serving motor control and the abnormally elevated spontaneous gamma activity that has been widely replicated in PWH, which may suggest that cannabis has at least some therapeutic utility in PWH.
近期研究表明,感染艾滋病毒的人(PWH)在认知控制方面存在缺陷,其潜在皮质网络中的大脑反应也发生了改变,而且经常使用大麻对这些神经反应具有正常化作用。然而,经常使用大麻对PWH运动控制缺陷背后的神经振荡动力学的影响仍鲜为人知。在此,102名对照大麻使用者、对照非使用者、经常使用大麻的PWH以及不使用大麻的PWH在高密度脑磁图检查期间进行了一项有无干扰的运动控制任务。使用全脑体素级统计分析来检查神经动力学,该分析考察了艾滋病毒感染状况、大麻使用情况及其相互作用对服务于运动控制的神经振荡、基线期自发活动以及神经行为关系的影响。我们的主要发现揭示了前额叶皮质、高级运动区域及其他区域内振荡性伽马波段存在艾滋病毒与大麻使用组之间的相互作用,不使用大麻的PWH通常表现出最强的伽马干扰反应。在背侧运动前皮层的振荡性贝塔波段也发现了艾滋病毒与大麻使用之间的相互作用。在所有表现出相互作用效应的区域以及左侧初级运动皮层中,PWH的基线期自发伽马升高,而大麻使用者则受到抑制,自发水平与行为表现相关。这些发现表明,经常使用大麻对服务于运动控制的神经振荡以及PWH中广泛存在的异常升高的自发伽马活动具有正常化作用,这可能表明大麻在PWH中至少具有一定治疗效用。
