Résumé

This study was aimed at exploring phaseamplitude coupling (PAC) patterns of neural activity in dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD). For this task, five minutes of spontaneous electroencephalographic (EEG) activity from 22 patients with mild AD and 16 cognitively healthy controls were studied. To assess PAC patterns, phase-locking value was computed between the phase of low frequencies and the power of high frequencies within each sensor. Our results showed that high-frequency gamma power is phase-locked to the alpha peak in EEG signals. Furthermore, statistically significant differences (p<0.05, permutation test) between patients with mild AD and elderly controls were observed at the lower left temporo-parietal area, suggesting that early stages of AD elicit a region-specific decrease of PAC in the neural activity.
