Investigations of Amygdala Function Using Neurophysiological Recording and Stimulation

Study Description
Brief Summary:

This study aims to specifically examine the in vivo electrophysiology and effects of direct stimulation of the human amygdala during conditioned and evoked fear. Investigators will also examine amygdala electrophysiology and the effects of stimulation during tasks to examine the effects of reward on fear memory.

This study will recruit subjects with a history of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) who have undergone neurosurgical implantation with FDA-approved, NeuroPace RNS devices for treatment of seizures. These patients provide a unique cohort with (Responsive Neurostimulation) RNS devices capable of both recording and stimulating the amygdala during performance of fear-based, behavioral tasks.

Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Neurophysiological recording and stimulation of amygdala
Recording and stimulation of amygdala using Neuropace RNS devices at certain points through out the behavioral tasks.
Device: Amygdala recording and stimulation using Neuropace RNS
Subjects will undergo a series of different, fear-related, behavioral tasks while undergoing amygdala electrophysiology recording and stimulation using the Neuropace RNS devices.

Behavioral: Behavioral tasks
Subjects perform a set of fear related behavioral tasks over 2 days, with 3 tasks each day.In addition to amygdala RNS recording and stimulation, recording of electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and electrodermal activity (EDA) will be performed using standard techniques to capture and quantify the fear response across all tasks.

  4. ECoG (ElectroCorticoGraphy) frequency changes [ Time Frame: 2 days ]

    Quantify changes in ECoG measures as determined clinically by the Investigator using intracranial recordings from the Neuropace devices.

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Electrophysiological changes in EMG [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
    Analyze changes in amplitude of electromyography (EMG) from resting state to EMG recordings across all tasks.

  2. Electrophysiological changes in EDA [ Time Frame: 2 days ]
    Analyze changes in amplitude of electrodermal activity (EDA) from resting state to EMG recordings across all tasks.
