Arkypallidal neurons in globus pallidus briefly increase their firing rate upon a Stop signal, which cues movement cancellation. This increase potentially leads to the suppression of movement-related activity in striatum by inhibiting SPNs. However, this brief inhibition from arkypallidal neurons may be too short to completely prevent the gradual firing rate increase in SPNs. Here, we investigated the impact of the brief inhibition on the gradual increase in a multi-compartmental model of a SPN. We reproduced the movement-related firing pattern in the SPN model neuron by brief clustered excitation added to a baseline, subthreshold excitation. This brief clustered excitation evoked a dendritic plateau potential leading to a long-lasting depolarization at the soma, which enhanced the somatic excitability and evoked spikes upon the baseline excitation that was formerly subthreshold. A brief inhibition, representing arkypallidal stop responses, applied on the dendritic site where the clustered excitation was present, suppressed the somatic depolarization and attenuated the movement-related activity similar to the firing pattern observed in rats for successful action suppression. We conclude that arkypallidal Stop responses can suppress movement-related activity in the striatum by suppressing the dendritic plateau potentials.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125698441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies using time-resolved decoding of M/EEG patterns have described numerous processes such as object/face familiarity and the emergence of basic-to-abstract category information. Surprisingly, no study has, to our knowledge, revealed “what” (i.e. the actual visual information that) our brain uses while these computations are examined by decoding algorithms. Here, we revealed the time course at which our brain extracts realistic category-specific information about visual objects (i.e. emotion-type & gender information from faces) with time-resolved decoding of high-density EEG patterns, as well as carefully controlled tasks and visual stimulation. Then, we derived temporal generalization matrices and showed that category-specific information is 1) first diffused across brain areas (250 to 350 ms) and 2) encoded under a stable neural pattern that suggests evidence accumulation (350 to 650 ms after face onset). Finally, we bridged time-resolved decoding with psychophysics and revealed the specific visual information (spatial frequency, feature position & orientation information) that support these brain computations. Doing so, we uncovered interconnected dynamics between visual features, and the accumulation and diffusion of category-specific information in the brain.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125924891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These serial biases have been modeled as a product of synaptic short-term plasticity, allowing WM representations to endure in a synaptic trace and interfere with the next trial even when neural activity returns to baseline values. We hypothesized that the NMDAR, a key component of both short-term potentiation (STP) and stable WM delay activity, would be of central importance to serial biases in a visuospatial WM task. Confirming this hypothesis, we found drastically reduced biases in patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis and schizophrenia, both diseases that have been related to NMDAR hypofunction. We simulated serial biases in a spiking neural network supported by a Hebbian STP mechanism that builds up during persistent delay-activity. We found a close correspondence between patient and model behavior when gradually lowering levels of STP, suggesting a disruption of short-term plasticity in associative cortices of schizophrenic and anti-NMDAR encephalitis patients. Further, we explored the capability of the model to explain reduced biases in light of the disinhibition theory of schizophrenia.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127833123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One simple view posits that, for concrete words, our brain solves the problem by creating associations between the neural representations of the surface forms of symbols (spoken or written words) to the one(s) evoked by the object, action, or event classes the symbols refer to (e.g., see Pulvermuller 2013; 2018). Evidence supporting this view comes from the observation that words related to well known concepts such as numerical quantities (Piazza et al. 2007; Eger et al. 2009), colors (e.g. Simmons et al. 2007), manipulable objects (Chao et al. 1999), places (Kumar et al. 2017), or actions (Hauk 2004; 2011), automatically re-activate the same brain regions that are active during the perception/execution of those specific object features/actions. These data, however, are informative on the neural bases of symbol grounded representations, but not on those underlying symbol grounding: i) they fall short in assessing the role of memory systems implicated in this kind of symbol-toconcept associative learning, and ii) they do not provide a full picture of the effects that symbol grounding has on the brain. Here, to investigate the neural changes generated by this process, we adopted an artificial learning paradigm where 21 adult subjects learned to categorize novel multisensory objects by giving them specific symbolic labels.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127946944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One mechanism linking theses two phenomena could be that broader neural tuning functions lead to more signal confusions when tuning-based representations of walking direction are read out. To test this idea, we developed a novel method that allowed us to investigate changes in fMRI-measured pattern similarity while participants navigated in different directions in a virtual spatial navigation task. We expected that adjacent directions are represented more similarly within direction sensitive brain areas, reflecting a tuning-function-like signal. Importantly, heightened similarity might lead downstream areas to become more likely to confuse neighboring directions. We therefore analyzed predictions of a decoder trained on these representations, asking (1) whether decoder confusions between two directions increased proportionally to their angular similarity, (2) and how this differs between age groups. Evidence for tuning-function-like signals was found in the retrosplenial complex and primary visual cortex. Significant age differences in tuning width, however, were only found in the primary visual cortex. Our findings introduce a novel approach to measure tuning specificity using fMRI and suggest broader visual direction tuning in older adults might underlie age-related spatial navigation impairments.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127583323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both humans and CNNs maintain high classification accuracy despite changes in the scale, rotation, and translation of objects. In this study, we present images of novel objects at different scales and compare representational similarity in the human brain versus CNNs. We measure human fMRI responses in primary visual cortex (V1) and the object selective lateral occipital complex (LOC). We also measure the internal representations of CNNs that have been trained for largescale object recognition. Novel objects lack consensus on their name and identity, and therefore do not clearly belong to any specific object category. These novel objects are individuated in LOC, but not V1. V1 and LOC both significantly represent size and pixel information. In contrast, the late layers of CNNs show they are able to individuate objects but do not retain size information. Thus, while the human brain and CNNs are both able to recognise objects in spite of changes to their size, only the human brain retains this size information throughout the later stages of information processing.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132619615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies demonstrated that scene configuration and object relevancy to the task modulates the combination weights of allocentric and egocentric information. Egocentric coding for reaching is studied extensively; however, how allocentric information is coupled and used in reaching is unknown. Using a computational approach, we show that clustering mechanisms for allocentric coding combined with causal Bayesian integration of allocentric and egocentric information can account for the observed reaching behavior. To further understand allocentric coding, we propose two strategies, global vs. distributed landmark clustering (GLC vs. DLC). Both models can replicate the current data but each has distinct implications. GLC efficiently encodes the scene relative to a single virtual reference but loses all the local structure information. In contrary, DLC stores more redundant inter-object relationship information. Consequently, DLC is more sensitive to the changes of the scene. Further experiments must differentiate between the two proposed strategies.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132290922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing inspiration from the plasticity of cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic circuitry, we recently developed a cognitive model of decision-making that uses both a value-driven learning signal to update an internal estimate of state action-value (i.e., conflict in the probability of reward between two choices) and a change-point-driven learning signal that adapts to changes in reward contingencies (i.e., a previously high value target becoming devalued). In this work, we expand on previous results from our group (Bond, Dunovan, & Verstynen, 2018) to more carefully detail how these environmental signals drive changes in the decision process. Across nine separate behavioral testing sessions, we independently manipulated the level of value-conflict and volatility in action-outcome contingencies. Using a hierarchical drift diffusion model, we found that the belief in the value difference between options had the greatest influence on decision processes, impacting drift rate, while estimates of environmental change had a smaller, but detectable influence on the decision threshold. Taken together, these findings bolster our previous work showing how separate environmental signals impact different aspects of the decision algorithm.","PeriodicalId":281121,"journal":{"name":"2019 Conference on Cognitive Computational Neuroscience","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130318531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
