Delirium persists as the most common neuropsychiatric syndrome among medically ill hospitalized patients, yet its neural mechanisms remain poorly understood. The development of neuroimaging biomarkers has been difficult primarily due to complexities imaging patients experiencing delirium. Optical techniques, including near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and diffuse optical tomography (DOT), offer promising avenues for investigating delirium’s pathophysiology. These modalities uniquely stand out delirium exploration their blend spatiotemporal resolution, bedside applicability, cost-effectiveness, potential real-time monitoring. In this review, we examine emergence pioneering utility in research. With further investment research efforts, they will become instrumental our understanding pathophysiology preventive, predictive, therapeutic strategies.

Delirium is associated with new onset dementia and accelerated cognitive decline; however, its pathophysiology remains unknown. Cerebral glucose metabolism previously seen in delirium may have been attributable to acute illness and/or dementia. We aimed statistically map cerebral delirium.We assessed using 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) sick, older patients without delirium, all clinical (N = 20). Strict exclusion criteria were adopted minimize the effect of established confounders on FDG-PET.Patients demonstrated hypometabolism bilateral thalami right superior frontal, posterior cingulate, infero-lateral anterior temporal, left parietal cortices.

Postoperative delirium is the most common postsurgical complication in older adults and associated with an increased risk of long-term cognitive decline Alzheimer's disease (AD) related dementias (ADRD). However, neurological basis this risk- whether postoperative unmasks latent preoperative pathology or leads to AD-relevant after perioperative brain injury-remains unclear. Recent advancements neuroimaging techniques now enable detection subtle features damage that may underlie clinical symptoms. Among these, Neurite Orientation Dispersion Density Imaging (NODDI) can help identify microstructural damage, even absence visible macro-anatomical abnormalities. To investigate potential abnormalities function, we analyzed pre- post-operative diffusion MRI data from 111 patients aged ≥60 years who underwent non-cardiac/non-intracranial surgery. Specifically, investigated variation metrics within posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), a region which prior work has identified glucose metabolism alterations delirious brain, key early accumulation amyloid beta (Aβ) preclinical AD. We also examined relationship PCC NODDI function. Compared did not develop (n=99), found free water (FISO) neurite density index (NDI) decreased orientation dispersion (ODI) dorsal before surgery among those later developed (n=12). These FISO differences remained present at six weeks postoperatively, while these NDI ODI not. Preoperative values were positively attention/concentration performance, independent age, education level, global atrophy. Yet, correlated cerebrospinal fluid Aβ positivity levels. results suggest susceptibility delirium, AD-related (i.e., Aβ) neuropathology. Furthermore, linked deficits attention/concentration, core feature delirium.

Postoperative neurocognitive disorders (PNDs) are frequent and serious perioperative complications in the elderly, associated with increased morbidity mortality, length of hospital stay, need for long-term care. At present, pathogenesis PND is not completely clear, there various risk factors including surgical trauma stress mediating systemic inflammation towards neuroinflammation development which causes brain structural functional changes namely PND. For elderly patients, neurological monitoring may provide insights into function status. Monitoring also help clinicians identify potential risks would ultimately allow timely effective intervention better safety prognosis patients. In this review, we summarize mechanisms PND, discuss preliminary evidence regarding application electroencephalography, near-infrared spectroscopy, magnetic resonance, positron emission tomography imaging central nervous system during postoperative period.
