Here, we depicted, at the EEG-source level, the increase in power and connectivity in theta and alpha bands induced by strong relative to weak distractors during a visual Sternberg-like WM task involving the encoding of verbal items. During retention, a strong or weak distractor was presented, predictable in time and nature. Analysis focused on the encoding and retention phases before distractor presentation. Theta and alpha power were computed in cortical regions of interest, and connectivity networks estimated via spectral Granger causality and synthetized using in/out degree indices. The following modulations were observed for strong vs. weak distractors. In theta band during encoding, the power in frontal regions increased, together with frontal-to-frontal and bottom-up occipital-to-temporal-to-frontal connectivity; even during retention, bottom-up theta connectivity increased. In alpha band during retention, but not during encoding, the power in temporal-occipital regions increased, together with top-down frontal-to-occipital and temporal-to-occipital connectivity. From our results, we postulate a proactive cooperation between theta and alpha mechanisms: the first would mediate enhancement of target representation both during encoding and retention, and the second would mediate increased inhibition of sensory areas during retention only, to suppress the processing of imminent distractor without interfering with the processing of ongoing target stimulus during encoding.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":19299,"journal":{"name":"NeuroImage","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S105381192400332X/pdfft?md5=03fac5ee5a078d78b3f301023c1f4ed7&pid=1-s2.0-S105381192400332X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142154710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this gap, we propose a novel supervised method named local-structure-preservation and redundancy-removal-based feature selection (LRFS), and then apply it to the identification of meaningful biomarkers for schizophrenia (SZ). LRFS method leverages graph-based regularization to preserve original sample similarity relationships during data transformation, thus retaining crucial local structure information. Additionally, it introduces redundancy-removal regularization based on interrelationships among features to exclude similar and redundant features from high-dimensional data.

Experimental evaluations on eight public datasets with diverse properties demonstrate the superior performance of our method over nine popular feature selection methods in identifying discriminative features, with average classification accuracy gains ranging from 1.30 % to 9.11 %. Furthermore, the LRFS method demonstrates superior discriminability in four functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) datasets from 708 healthy controls (HCs) and 537 SZ patients, with an average increase in classification accuracy ranging from 1.89 % to 9.24 % compared to other nine methods. Notably, our method reveals reproducible and significant changes in SZ patients relative to HCs across the four datasets, predominantly in the thalamus-related functional network connectivity, which exhibit a significant correlation with clinical symptoms. Convergence analysis, parameter sensitivity analysis, and ablation studies further demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of our method.

When performed entirely manually, this laborious step can be rate-limiting for analyses, with the potential to influence the population size chosen. This emphasizes the need for a fully- or semi-automated masking procedure to decrease man-hours without an associated decline in accuracy. These algorithms are plentiful in human neuroimaging but are relatively lacking for the plethora of animal species used in research. Unfortunately, software designed for humans cannot be easily transformed for animal use due to the high amount of tailoring required to accurately account for the considerable degree of variation within the highly folded human cortex. As most animals have a relatively less complex cerebral morphology, intersubject variability is consequently decreased, presenting the possibility to simply warp the brain mask of a template image into subject space for the purpose of skull stripping. This study presents the use of the Cat Automated Registration-based Skull Stripper (CARSS) tool on feline structural images. Validation metrics revealed that this method was able to perform on par with manual raters on >90 % of scans tested, and that its consistency across multiple runs was superior to that of masking performed by two independent raters.

We, therefore, combined resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) and whole-brain immunohistochemical analysis of early growth response 1 (EGR1), a marker of neural plasticity, to elucidate the temporal and spatial changes in functional networks and underlying cellular processes during operant learning. We used an 11.7-Tesla MRI scanner and whole-brain immunohistochemical analysis of EGR1 in mice during the early and late stages of operant learning. In the operant training, mice received a reward when they pressed left and right buttons alternately, and were punished with a bright light when they made a mistake. A group of mice (<em>n</em> = 22) underwent the first rsfMRI acquisition before behavioral sessions, the second acquisition after 3 training-session-days (early stage), and the third after 21 training-session-days (late stage). Another group of mice (<em>n</em> = 40) was subjected to histological analysis 15 min after the early or late stages of behavioral sessions. Functional connectivity increased between the limbic areas and thalamus or auditory cortex after the early stage of training, and between the motor cortex, sensory cortex, and striatum after the late stage of training. The density of EGR1-immunopositive cells in the motor and sensory cortices increased in both the early and late stages of training, whereas the density in the amygdala increased only in the early stage of training. The subcortical networks centered around the limbic areas that emerged in the early stage have been implicated in rewards, pleasures, and fears.

The human brain network is a modular network composed of interconnected nodes. This network consists of provincial hubs and connector hubs, with provincial hubs having diverse connectivities within their own modules, while connector hubs distribute their connectivities across different modules. The latter is crucial for integrating information from various modules and ensuring the normal functioning of the modular brain. However, there has been a lack of systematic investigation into the impact of sleep deprivation on brain connector hubs. In this study, we utilized functional connectivity from resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, as well as structural connectivity from diffusion-weighted imaging, to systematically explore the variation of connector hub properties in the cerebral cortex after one night of sleep deprivation. The normalized participation coefficients (PCnorm) were utilized to identify connector hubs. In both the functional and structural networks, connector hubs exhibited a significant increase in average PCnorm, indicating the diversity enhancement of the connector hub following sleep deprivation. This enhancement is associated with increased network cost, reduced modularity, and decreased small-worldness, but enhanced global efficiency. This may potentially signify a compensatory mechanism within the brain following sleep deprivation. The significantly affected connector hubs were primarily observed in both the Control Network and Salience Network. We believe that the observed results reflect the increasing demand on the brain to invest more effort at preventing performance deterioration after sleep loss, in exchange for increased communication efficiency, especially involving systems responsible for neural resource allocation and cognitive control. These results have been replicated in an independent dataset. In conclusion, this study has enhanced our understanding of the compensatory mechanism in the brain response to sleep deprivation. This compensation is characterized by an enhancement in the connector hubs responsible for inter-modular communication, especially those related to neural resource and cognitive control.
