B. Clinical Sleep Science IX. Psychiatric and Behavioral Disorders and Sleep<br />

Introduction: Abnormalities in slow wave activity (SWA) have been<br />

described in major depressive disorder (MDD), suggesting altered sleepwake<br />

homeostasis. Little is known, however, about how waking EEG<br />

tracings in MDD are affected by sleep. We examined spontaneous waking<br />

high-density electroencephalogram (hd-EEG) recordings and their<br />

relationship to slow wave activity during sleep.<br />

Methods: 12 right-handed MDD subjects (9 female) and 12 age and sex<br />

matched controls were analyzed, taken from a larger study on sleep homeostasis<br />

in depression. Two minutes of spontaneous waking hd-EEG<br />

(256 channel) was collected in the evening prior to sleep and the mornlowship<br />

Program. The authors’ views or opinions do not necessarily<br />

Introduction: Abnormalities in slow wave activity (SWA) and sleep<br />

spindle activity have been previously described in major depressive disorder<br />

(MDD). We utilized high-density EEG (hd-EEG) to investigate<br />

topographic differences in these parameters between MDD and control<br />

subjects during sleep.<br />

Methods: Unmedicated MDD subjects (n=28; 10 men) and age and sexmatched<br />

controls were recruited. Subjects underwent overnight hd-EEG<br />

(256 channel) polysomnography. The EEG data were filtered, FFTs performed,<br />

and data visually inspected and manually cleaned of artifact.<br />

Unpaired t-tests and statistical non-parametric mapping (SnPM) were<br />

used to evaluate for topographic differences in SWA and spindle range<br />

activity (SRA).<br />

Results: All-night SWA normalized to the power in all channels was<br />

greater in frontal and lower in posterior channels in MDD subjects relative<br />

to controls. SnPM using cluster threshold confirmed the posterior<br />

decrease, but not the frontal increase in SWA in MDD. Normalized allnight<br />

spindle range activity (12-15 Hz) was greater in frontal regions<br />

in MDD subjects relative to controls, but SnPM did not confirm this<br />

result. Neither SWA nor SRA findings correlated with age or depression<br />

severity.<br />

Conclusion: These preliminary findings suggest altered topographic<br />

SWA and SRA activity in depression. Further research is indicated to<br />

confirm these findings and determine if these findings are specific to<br />

subtypes of depression.<br />

ALTERED SLOW-WAVE ACTIVITY HOMEOSTASIS<br />

IN MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER WITH<br />

HYPERSOMNOLENCE: A HIGH DENSITY EEG PILOT<br />

STUDY<br />

Introduction: Hypersomnia is a common symptom of major depressive<br />

disorder (MDD) that increases the risk of incident depression and<br />

may be a residual symptom after resolution of a depressive episode. The<br />

pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying hypersomnia in mood disorders<br />

are unknown. This post hoc pilot study explored possible high<br />

density EEG (hd-EEG) markers that might distinguish MDD with hypersomnolence<br />

(MDD-HYS) from healthy controls and MDD with insomnia<br />

(MDD-INS).<br />

Methods: MDD-HYS subjects (n=8; 5 men) and age- and sex-matched<br />

MDD-INS subjects and controls were selected from a larger study on<br />

sleep homeostasis in depression. Hypersomnia was defined as a selfreport<br />

of sleeping ≥10 hours per day; insomnia as subjective report of<br />

difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep. Subjects underwent overnight<br />

hd-EEG (256 channel) polysomnography. EEG data were filtered, FFTs<br />

performed, and data visually inspected to remove artifact. Statistical<br />

analysis included ANOVA and post hoc unpaired t-tests to explore dif-<br />

ferences between groups in absolute and normalized slow wave activity<br />

(SWA; 1-4.5 Hz) during NREM sleep.<br />

Results: Left frontal all-night SWA normalized to the power in all channels<br />

was significantly higher in MDD-HYS (1.57±0.30) compared to<br />

controls (1.15±0.19, p=0.005) and MDD-INS (1.28±0.12, p=0.024).<br />

When examining absolute SWA in frontocentral regions for the first 30<br />

minutes of NREM sleep, power was significantly lower in MDD-HYS<br />

compared to MDD-INS (29.6μV±13.7 vs. 66.6μV±23.9, p=0.016). No<br />

differences in absolute SWA were evident at the end of the night, suggesting<br />

a greater homeostatic dissipation of SWA in MDD-INS compared<br />

to MDD-HYS.<br />

Conclusion: This pilot study suggests there may be alterations in SWA<br />

topography and dissipation across the night that segregate depressed<br />

subjects with hypersomnia from those with insomnia and healthy controls.<br />

Further research is indicated to replicate this finding and determine<br />

if hd-EEG findings correlate with hypersomnia severity.<br />

Introduction: Cordance is a relatively new quantitative EEG-method,<br />

which has shown usability as a biomarker for depression within the resting-state<br />

in wake patients. Sleep EEG shows distinctive alterations in a<br />

depressive episode and changes after antidepressants. We wanted to test<br />

whether differences in Cordance derived from sleep EEG exist between<br />

responders and non-responders after antidepressant medication.<br />

Methods: 20 in-patients with a depressive episode [ICD-10 F 31.4, F<br />

32.1-3, F 33.1-3] were treated with various antidepressants of “doctor’s<br />

choice”. The change of the Hamilton depression scores between the first<br />

and fifth week of treatment provided evidence about response. Response<br />

to treatment was defined as a ≥ 50 % reduction of Hamilton score. Cordance<br />

values for the prefrontal theta-EEG were calculated from sleep<br />

EEG during the first week with active medication.<br />

Results: Results showed significant differences: 8 responders compared<br />

to 12 non-responders showed higher Cordance values in prefrontal<br />

EEG-sites (z-score -1,57 ± 0.79 versus -2,64 ± 0,69, p = 0.0055).<br />

Conclusion: These results suggest that Cordance derived from sleep<br />

EEG provides a biomarker for depression.<br />
