Abstract

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Electrophysiologic abnormalities of the globus pallidus externus have been shown in several disease processes including Parkinson disease, dystonia, and Huntington disease. However, the connectivity, nuclear structure, and function of the globus pallidus externus are still not well-understood. Increasing evidence for the existence of direct corticopallidal connections challenges traditional understanding of the connectivity of the globus pallidus externus; nevertheless, these corticopallidal connections have yet to be fully characterized in humans. The objective of this study was to assess the corticopallidal connections of the globus pallidus externus by means of probabilistic diffusion-weighted MR imaging tractography using high-resolution, multishell data.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Imaging data from the open-access Human Connectome Project data base were used to perform probabilistic tractography between the globus pallidus externus and the cerebral cortex using 34 distinct cortical regions. Group averages were calculated for normalized percentages of tracts reaching each of the cortical targets, and side-to-side comparison was made.

RESULTS: Cortical connectivity was demonstrated between the globus pallidus externus and multiple cortical regions, including direct connection to putative sensorimotor, associative, and limbic areas. Connectivity patterns were not significantly different between the right and left hemispheres with the exception of the frontal pole, which showed a greater number of connections on the right (P = .004).

CONCLUSIONS: Our in vivo study of the human globus pallidus externus using probabilistic tractography supports the existence of extensive corticopallidal connections and a tripartite functional division, as found in animal studies. A better understanding of the connectivity of the globus pallidus externus may help to understand its function and elucidate the effects of programming the higher contacts in pallidal deep brain stimulation.

DBS: deep brain stimulation
GPe: globus pallidus externus

The globus pallidus externus (GPe) is the lateral component of the globus pallidus known to have extensive connections with other basal ganglia nuclei.¹ Traditionally thought to primarily function in motor control,² more recent evidence has challenged this belief, showing additional function in associative and limbic processes.^3⇓–5 GPe dysfunction has been shown in several disease processes, including a decreased spontaneous discharge rate in Parkinson disease⁶ and dystonia⁷ and an increased spontaneous discharge rate in Huntington disease.⁸ These findings suggest an important role of the GPe in the pathophysiology of several disease processes and a potential clinical relevance.^9,10

In 2003, Silberstein et al¹¹ showed that the local field potentials recorded in the globus pallidus externus in patients who underwent deep brain stimulation (DBS) were greater in patients with Parkinson disease (11–30 Hz) than in those with dystonia (4–10 Hz). This finding indicated the importance of understanding the GPe connections to help in elucidating the mechanistic basis of DBS when treating these diseases. Fifteen years later, the connectivity, nuclear structure, and function of the GPe are still not well-understood.^1,5

Traditionally, the basal ganglia circuitry has been thought to involve 2 pathways, a “direct” and an “indirect” pathway, with the striatum being the main input source for cortical efferents.^12,13 Nevertheless, this model was challenged with the postulation of a “hyperdirect” pathway, connecting the subthalamic nucleus to the cortex.^14⇓–16 Subsequently, there was increasing work in both animal and in vivo human models highlighting the existence of direct corticopallidal connections; however, these corticopallidal connections specific to the globus pallidus externus have yet to be fully characterized in humans.^{17⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓–23} The objective of this study was to assess corticopallidal connections of the GPe by means of probabilistic diffusion-weighted MR imaging tractography, using high-resolution, multishell data.

Materials and Methods

Data Acquisition

Imaging data from the open-access Human Connectome Project data base were used (https://www.humanconnectome.org). Twenty healthy subjects were consecutively selected from the data base. Full imaging acquisition details are freely available at the Human Connectome Project data base Web site (https://www.humanconnectome.org), but briefly, the imaging was obtained using a modified 3T Magnetom Skyra scanner (Siemens, Erlanger, Germany). The multidirection diffusion-weighted imaging used a spin-echo EPI sequence with an isotropic resolution of 1.25 mm³. Diffusion b-values were acquired at 1000, 2000, and 3000 s/mm² in 90 diffusion directions for each shell. A multiband factor of 3 with 6/8 phase partial Fourier was used, and 111 axial slices were obtained with no gap. The parameters were the following: TR = 5520 ms, TE = 89.5 ms, flip angle = 78°. Images were obtained in both the left-to-right and right-to-left phase-encoding directions. Total imaging time for the diffusion data was 59 minutes. The T1-weighted 3D MPRAGE structural scan used an isotropic resolution of 0.7 mm³. Additional acquisition parameters included the following: TR = 2400 ms, TE = 2.14 ms, TI = 1000 ms, flip angle = 8°, generalized autocalibrating partially parallel acquisition = 2, and bandwidth = 210 Hz/Px for an acquisition time of 7 minutes and 40 seconds.

Preprocessing of the diffusion data included realignment, B₀ image-intensity normalization, EPI distortion correction with the FSL Topup algorithm (https://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki/topup), gradient nonlinearity correction, and eddy current correction.²⁴ The diffusion data were co-registered to the structural MPRAGE images using a boundary-based registration method (BBR) implemented in the FMRIB Linear Registration Tool (FLIRT; http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fslwiki/FLIRT) followed by the “bbregister” function in FreeSurfer (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu). All preprocessing steps used standard options as detailed in the Human Connectome Project data base preprocessing pipeline.²⁴

Data Processing

Segmentation of the MPRAGE data was performed with FreeSurfer (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu). The left and right cerebral cortices were segmented into 34 distinct volumes of interest in FreeSurfer based on the Desikan-Killiany cortical atlas using the FreeSurfer mri_label2vol function.²⁵ VOIs were also generated of the right and left GPe in the Montreal Neurological Institute template space from the Montreal Neurological Institute Basal Ganglia Human Area Template.²⁶ The GPe VOIs were then transformed from Montreal Neurological Institute space to FreeSurfer space using a linear registration implemented in FSL FLIRT.

Voxelwise diffusion parameters were estimated via a Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling implemented in FSL bedpost (http://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki/FDT/UserGuide#BEDPOSTX). A multifiber approach (2 fiber orientations) was used along with a multishell model. Next, probabilistic tractography was performed using the FSL probtrackx2 function (https://fsl.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/fsl/fslwiki/FDT/UserGuide) with the network option to estimate the connectivity between each GPe VOI and the 34 ipsilateral cortical targets. Standard tracking parameters include a 0.2 curvature threshold, 2000 steps per sample, a step length of 0.5 mm, and 5000 samples per side.

Data Analysis

For each subject, the weighted connectivity was calculated between each of the 34 cortical ROIs and the ipsilateral GPe ROI by means of bidirectional fiber tracking between the GPe ROIs and each cortical target ROI. Because the distance traveled has a positive correlation with fiber-tract uncertainty, the tracts were normalized by the distance traveled, as implemented in FSL probtrackx2. To account for potential tracking bias due to variable sizes of the ROIs, we normalized the connectivity matrix by the surface area of the ROIs according to the method proposed by Hagmann et al.²⁷ The number of paths was normalized among all patients by dividing the total number of paths by the waytotal for each subject to facilitate between-subject comparison. Group averages were calculated for normalized percentages of tracts reaching each of the cortical targets. In an attempt to account for false fibers generated by probabilistic tractography, a normalized fiber threshold level was set to exclude all target VOIs. Appropriate threshold levels remain a point of contention in the literature; therefore, we have selected a probabilistic threshold that is in the range of that used in prior studies of ≥2% of the total (98% confidence level) in either hemisphere.^17,28 The VOIs exceeding the threshold were used to generate a connectogram for both the left and right GPe in Matlab 9.1 (MathWorks, Natick, Massachusetts). Last, differences between the connectivity profile of the left and right GPe were assessed for each cortical target in GraphPad Prism 7.0 software (GraphPad Software, San Diego, California) by means of a Mann-Whitney U test to account for non-normality in distribution.

Results

Of the 34 cortical targets evaluated (Table), 17 exceeded the fiber count threshold on either side (Figure). The right GPe exhibited maximal cortical connectivity to the frontal pole (14.4% ± 9.4%), and the left GPe had maximal cortical connectivity to the temporal pole (10.5% ± 8.0%). The greatest difference in the connectivity profile between sides was related to the frontal pole (14.4% ± 9.4% on the right and 7.7% ± 5.4% on the left), insula (11.0% ± 4.2% on the right and 8.5% ± 4.6% on the left), and entorhinal cortex (5.1% ± 4.4% on the right and 7.4% ± 6.6% on the left). The side-to-side variation was also only significant for the frontal pole (P = .004). The remaining targets showed no significant variation between sides (P > .05).

Discussion

Our probabilistic tractography study highlights the potential widespread direct cortical connectivity of the GPe. As predicted from prior animal functional studies, direct cortical connections were found between the GPe and areas functioning in sensorimotor, associative, and limbic tasks.^3,4 These direct corticopallidal connections challenge the traditional hypotheses regarding the GPe as merely a subcortical relay within the indirect pathway of the basal ganglia.¹

Initial descriptions of basal ganglia connectivity were largely based on the work of DeLong¹³ and Albin et al¹², elucidated through a combination of both immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization techniques.^12,13 These models defined 2 corticofugal networks, a direct and indirect pathway of basal ganglia circuitry, and considered the dorsal striatum as the main input area for cortical efferent neurons to these pathways.¹² More recently, a third network, a hyperdirect pathway, has been discovered in which glutamatergic cortical efferents synapse directly on the subthalamic nucleus.¹⁶ The existence of this hyperdirect pathway challenged the traditional hypotheses of basal ganglia connectivity. Indeed, evidence has mounted for additional subpopulations of efferent neurons with direct cortical connection to basal ganglia nuclei outside the dorsal striatum, including the GPe.^{17⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓–23}

Direct cortical connection to the GPe was described as early as 1977 in primates.²⁹ It was again described in an anterograde tracing study in rodents, linking the precentral cortex of rodents to the GPe.²⁰ Additional studies have also described both cholinergic and GABAergic neurons within the GPe, sending direct efferent connections to the cortex.^18,21 One in vivo human study used constrained spherical deconvolution to assess the existence of a corticopallidal network with connections from the GP to Brodmann areas 2, 11, 46, 48, 6, 4, and 5; however, distribution of fiber densities between areas was not assessed.¹⁹ Using a similar technique, Cacciola et al¹⁷ described 2 separate corticopallidal networks: an anatomic pallidal-temporal network involving the hippocampus and amygdala and a sensorimotor-pallidal network mainly involving the precentral, postcentral, and paracentral gyri, in addition to higher order functional areas, such as the superior frontal gyrus. Unfortunately, due to grouping the GPe and globus pallidus internus as 1 ROI (pallidum), it is uncertain how the GPe and globus pallidus internus connectivity profiles differ.¹⁷ Our current study clarifies the distribution and density of corticopallidal connections specifically to the GPe.

The GPe is classically considered as part of the indirect pathway and extensively connected to deep brain structures.^1,13 Animal studies of bicuculline injections into various regions of the GPe have elicited behavioral disturbances that can be functionally segmented into 3 zones: the ventrolateral “sensorimotor territory,” the middle “associative territory,” and the anterior ventral “limbic territory.”^3,4 To assess the potential role of direct corticopallidal connections in these functional areas, prior studies used rabies virus injections to trace these potential connections.^3,4 An injection into the limbic GPe labeled areas with known cortical projections: the rostromedial prefrontal cortex, insula, and orbitofrontal cortex, among others.^3,4 Injection in the associative GPe labeled areas with known cortical projections to the supplementary motor area and pre-supplementary motor area as well as the associative parietal, motor, and premotor cortices. Finally, injection into the sensorimotor GPe labeled areas with known cortical projections to the premotor, primary motor, and somatosensory cortices.^3,4

In line with these animal studies, we were able to illustrate GPe direct cortical connectivity to similar putative associative, sensorimotor, and limbic areas.^3,4 Direct cortical connections corresponding to the limbic GPe include the rostral middle frontal region (presumed dorsolateral prefrontal cortex), entorhinal cortex, parahippocampal gyrus, isthmus of the cingulate cortex, insula, and orbitofrontal cortex.^3,4 Likewise, associative connections to the supplementary motor area/pre-supplementary motor area regions, superior parietal cortex, primary motor cortex, and premotor cortex were found. Last, as suggested by the sensorimotor function, we found corticopallidal connections between the GPe and the premotor, primary motor, and somatosensory cortices.

Animal studies have revealed attention deficits and hyperactivity induced by regional damage to the GPe, raising the possibility of a GPe role in the symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.^3,4 The symptomatology of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder would suggest dysfunction in attention processing as well as motor planning. Although the role of the frontal pole is not well-understood, it has been implicated in the process of managing multiple cognitive tasks and attention.³⁰ Spatial attention has also been attributed to function within the premotor and dorsolateral prefrontal cortices.^31,32 Additionally, the rostral cingulate and supplementary motor area, both showing GPe connectivity in our study, have been implicated in the hyperactive symptoms seen in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder.³³ Taken together, the connectivity between the GPe and these cortical regions in our study would corroborate the attention and hyperactivity symptoms elicited in animal studies of the GPe.^3,4

Animal studies have also implicated the GPe in movement symptoms, such as dyskinesia, as well as stereotyped behavioral symptoms. Although they are not fully understood, it has been suggested that the ventral pallidum and striatal projections to the orbitofrontal cortex, insula, anterior cingulate, and amygdalohippocampal complex (regions functioning in the processing of motivation and emotion) may facilitate such behavioral symptoms.^{3,34⇓⇓⇓⇓⇓–40} In addition to these known projections from other portions of the striatum, our study suggests the existence of direct corticopallidal connections originating from the GPe to similar regions, which could also contribute to the behaviors observed in obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourette syndrome. Support that these symptoms are also mediated through the GPe includes reports that pallidal lesions can result in obsessive-compulsive-type behavior.^41,42 Additionally, DBS of the GPe has been shown to reduce tics in patients with Tourette syndrome.^43,44

Broad connectivity of the GPe to primary and secondary sensorimotor regions, including the superior frontal, precentral, and postcentral gyri may play an additional role in mediating symptoms of movement disorders, such as Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, and dystonia.^45⇓–47 In fact, DBS of the GPe has been shown as a potential treatment for both Parkinson disease and dystonia.^46,47 Whether these treatment effects are, in part, mediated by direct corticopallidal connectivity remains to be determined, but they could potentially provide an additional treatment targeting for these debilitating conditions.

In summary, the connectivity and function of the GPe are not as well-understood compared with other components of the basal ganglia.¹ Current evidence supports a role of the GPe in limbic, associative, and sensorimotor processes.^3,4 Animal tracer studies have demonstrated connectivity of the GPe to additional sites in the basal ganglia that have secondary cortical connections to areas of matching function^3,4; however, we were also able to demonstrate primary connections to similar cortical areas from corticopallidal fibers. A more complete understanding of the function of the GPe may help shed light on its role in pathologic conditions, including Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and dystonia.^6,8,9 In the future, the knowledge of connectivity beyond the motor network may also reveal a role of the GPe in other disorders of the limbic and associative networks.

Several limitations of this study are noteworthy. Firstly, limitations of diffusion-based tractography itself include the inability to determine the directionality (afferent-efferent) of fiber tracts, the limited resolution of crossing fibers, and the potential for “false fibers.”^48,49 Probabilistic tractography is a more sensitive and robust method compared with deterministic tractography; however, probabilistic tractography is associated with a higher incidence of false fiber detection.⁵⁰ Additionally, the selection of thresholds for fiber tract probabilities has pitfalls.⁵¹ For instance, a very small bundle of true fibers may be rejected as a statistical error simply due to the small number of fibers, effectively biasing the results to larger fiber bundles. Second, the diffusion-based tractography method is unable to directly provide any functional information regarding the fiber tracts; therefore, the function of the identified tracts is merely speculative. Nevertheless, the anatomic connectivity illustrated in our study is well-aligned with functional deficits identified in prior animal studies.^3,4

Conclusions

Our in vivo study of the human GPe using probabilistic tractography supports the existence of extensive corticopallidal connections. Direct cortical connections to putative sensorimotor, associative, and limbic areas support this tripartite functional division found in animal studies. A better understanding of the connectivity of the GPe may help to understand its function and elucidate the effects of programming the higher contacts in pallidal DBS. Further electrophysiologic studies are needed to investigate the significance of these connections and their ultimate role in basal ganglia circuitry.
