AbstractPeriodic visual stimulation can induce stable steady-state visual evoked potentials (SSVEPs) distributed in multiple brain regions and has potential applications in both neural engineering and cognitive neuroscience. However, the underlying dynamic mechanisms of SSVEPs at the whole-brain level are still not completely understood. Here, we addressed this issue by simulating the rich dynamics of SSVEPs with a large-scale brain model designed with constraints of neuroimaging data acquired from the human brain. By eliciting activity of the occipital areas using an external periodic stimulus, our model was capable of replicating both the spatial distributions and response features of SSVEPs that were observed in experiments. In particular, we confirmed that alpha-band (8-12 Hz) stimulation could evoke stronger SSVEP responses; this frequency sensitivity was due to nonlinear resonance and could be modulated by endogenous factors in the brain. Interestingly, the stimulus-evoked brain networks also exhibited significant superiority in topological properties near this frequency-sensitivity range, and stronger SSVEP responses were demonstrated to be supported by more efficient functional connectivity at the neural activity level. These findings not only provide insights into the mechanistic understanding of SSVEPs at the whole-brain level but also indicate a bright future for large-scale brain modeling in characterizing the complicated dynamics and functions of the brain.

The radioisotope distribution following intravenous injection of 99mTc-labeled hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (HM-PAO) in the brain was measured by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and corrected for the nonlinearity caused by differences in net extraction. The “linearization” correction was based on a three compartment model, and it required a region of reference to normalize the SPECT image in terms of regional cerebral blood flow distribution. Two different regions of reference, the cerebellum and the whole brain, were tested. The uncorrected and corrected HM-PAO images were compared with cerebral blood flow (CBF) image measured by the C15O2 inhalation steady state method and positron emission tomography (PET). The relationship between uncorrected HM-PAO and PET–CBF showed a correlation coefficient of 0.85 but tended to saturate at high CBF values, whereas it was improved to 0.93 after the “linearization” correction. The whole-brain normalization worked just as well as normalization using the cerebellum. This study constitutes a validation of the “linearization” correction and it suggests that after linearization the HM-PAO image may be scaled to absolute CBF by employing a global hemispheric CBF value as measured by the nontomographic 133Xe clearance method.
