Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a revolutionary treatment for movement disorders. Measuring DBS-induced hemodynamic responses may be useful for surgical guidance of DBS electrode implantation as well as to study the mechanism and assess therapeutic effects of DBS. In this study, we evaluated the performance of a single fiber spectroscopic (SFS) system for measuring hemodynamic response in different cortical layers in a DBS animal model. We showed that SFS is capable of measuring minute relative changes in oxygen saturation and blood volume fraction in-vivo at a sampling rate of 22-33 Hz. During stimulation, blood volume fraction increased, while oxygen saturation showed both increases and decreases at different cortical depths across animals. In addition, we showed the potential of using SFS for measuring other physiological parameters, for example, heart rate, and respiratory rate.
